There’s an argument that 18 is still not responsible.
There’s an argument that a 25 year old and a 38 year old still isn’t right.
At the end of the day I think now that the woman is 48 years old she is the one who should say whether or not the relationship was acceptable. She’s been married, divorced and had three children. I don’t think anyone could be more qualified to weigh in than her.
Which are what? That his need to only date Jewish women even when only they’re 17 is not amusing? Are you Jewish? Because if you aren’t, maybe you wouldn’t understand why that’s funny.
For one I think many of your takes are just subjective opinions that others often disagree with, but they seem to be said as if they are somehow concrete facts that others can’t or shouldn’t disagree with, but not everything is always so black and white. And I feel like a lot of your responses are strawman arguments and just unnecessarily negative and condescending. It makes this not a fun place to be IMO.

See this is exactly what I’m talking about, the deflection and ad hominem. We should attack the position, not the person.
I believe my opinions to be based in fact
It’s one thing to believe it, but it’s another to provide credible sources when trying to speak authoritatively. The burden of proof is always on the person making the empirically unfalsifiable claims. I feel like you generally don’t do that.
You are free to block me
Yes, but you are also an omnipresent moderator of several communities and that can make things difficult. I would prefer mods to set a better example. You may not agree with me, but that continues to be my wish.
No one said you can’t block moderators and if you have a problem with my moderation, please do report me to Lemmy.world admin.
Do you think maybe I wouldn’t be moderating several communities if I were the problem you think I am? Do you think I forced World News or Lemmy Shitpost to make me a moderator? I didn’t even ask.
You could also use the willpower I assume you have to ignore me. I can’t make you read my comments and I certainly can’t make you reply to them. No one else seemed to have a problem with my Jewish humor.
So we’re being prejudiced against two consenting adults now? Would love to see how you respond to this person:

She wasn’t an adult when he started the relationship.
FWIW The age of consent in NY is 17.
I can’t remember the last time having to cite the age of consent ever made a situation better.

If they only dated for four years she was arguably still not a mature adult when they broke up, too.
There are sources refuting that claim, but I have other issues with your viewpoints on this anyways.

Welcome to the Internet?
No one is forcing you to talk to me. You are free to block me. It sounds like you should.
And yes, I believe my opinions to be based in fact. Are yours based on faith?

You gotta admit if this shit flinging showed up in your mod log you’d delete the comments of both participants.
