        So they were both of the age of consent, and even her family approved of their relationship, but somehow it’s still revolting?

          A 38 year old dating a high schooler? Yeah, I think that’s gross. I don’t care who approved of it. By the same token. nobody needs to agree with me, either.

            as long as you’re not trying to convince others to feel a specific way about it, kudos for being tolerant of people having different opinions.

            Not that my opinion is worth anything either :)

          Yes. How difficult is that to understand for you? The age of consent isn’t some magical day where a person suddenly matures and is capable of making all of the right decisions.

          He was 38, fabulously wealthy, and incredibly famous. She was a 17-year old schoolgirl. THAT’S. FUCKING. GROSS!

          The fact that her family were just like “a rich, aging celebrity?!? Of course you can predate on and fuck my 17 year old daughter”, that says awful things about her parents.
