Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

It's not illegal, but it's still weird, creepy and potentially harmful and no amount of lambasting about "the problematic age gap discourse" will make it not true.

your brain is done growing

Says who? My understanding is that in a large population, certain specific structures in the brain were observed to slow their rate of change around the age of 25. Other parts of the brain continued to change forever. Certain people may experience the changes earlier or later. If you really believe that the problem with an age gap relationship is physical differences between the brains of the partners, do you also think that neurodiverse people shouldn't be able to consent at all?

A 26 and a 19 year old are still gross tho.
