This article is very interesting and goes back all the way to Greco-roman times and how they shaped modern day age cuckery. But here are some of the things that formed modern day western age cuck attitudes. I snipped out the portions I thought most important.
Teenagers begin to become segregated from older adults (1789 to early 19th century)
Under the Ancien régime, the transition from childhood to adulthood wasn't decided by obvious age limits, but happened more gradually, according to the practical demands of life. Many juveniles occupied adult social roles in the domains of work, the military — where boys of 15 years could accede to officer's positions — in politics and in the family. This wasn't true only for juveniles from the elite or in exceptional positions, but for juveniles from nearly every social class.
All this changed significantly in the early 19th century in all areas of law. Along with the minimum age of marriage, the age of majority increased and minors were now excluded from many spheres of adult life including the military, voting rights, and — later in the 19th century — from paid work. Gradually, the social role of teenagers was thus assimilated into the role of children.
An increasing opposition to early marriage (1850s – 1880s)
Elizabeth Oakes Smith, a women's rights activist who went against early marriage of girls. On March 6, 1823, when Elizabeth was 16 years old, she got married to a 30 year old man named Seba Smith.
The 1850s was when opposition to early marriage was beginning to rise. The Reverend Antoinette Brown Blackwell spoke at tenth National Women's Rights Convention in 1860. She said "Let her be taught that she ought not to be married in her teens. Let her wait, as young man does, if he is sensible, until she is 25 or 30." In The Moral Philosophy of Courtship and Marriage (1857),
Raising age of consent: late 19th century/early 20th century
In the later 19th century, the age of consent began to be raised higher in some countries. In 1863, France raised the age of consent to 13. In 1945, the age of consent in France was raised to 15. Although countries like Portugal, Spain, Denmark and the Swiss cantons initially set the age of consent to 10-12 years old, these countries raised the age of consent to between 13 and 16 in the second half of the 19th century. The age of consent to 14 in Austria in 1852 and the German Empire in 1871 and 15 in Sweden in 1864
The moral panic over pedophiles, sex offenders, and child molesters begins: Progressive Era (1890s to 1920s)
In the late 1890s, child abuse trials began to receive intensive media coverage
In 1913, a Jewish-American man named Leo Frank was convicted on August 25, 1913 of killing a 13 year old girl named Mary Phagan. Frank was lynched and killed nearly 24 months after his conviction. Leo Frank caused national attention. In 1915, two children, ages 4 and 5, were murdered in New York City. According to Jenkins, "New perceptions of sex killers were indicated by the response to" this murder.
Although the moral panic over pedophiles, sex offenders and child molesters began in the Progressive Era, age gaps between grown-ups were still much more common back then than they are nowadays. Age gaps were less common the mid-20th century and even in the later 20th century but even in the mid-late 20th century, age gaps were still a little more common than they are nowadays. Nowadays, age gaps even between two legal adults are very stigmatized, even if the age gap is below 10 years apart (e.g.: an 18 year old woman dating a 25 year old man might get frowned upon nowadays
On March 5, 1926, a 15 year old girl named Peaches Browning (maiden name is Frances Belle Heenan) met a 51 year old man named Edward West Browning. On April 10, 1926, they got married. Although many people were upset over their age difference and thought it was inappropriate, many instead thought Peaches was just a gold digger and just viewed the couple as a daily sideshow of the yellow press
With new fears of older men preying on minors, marriage, once considered a safe haven, could now be considered possible exploitation.
In February 1937, Gallup asked Americans what they think the minimum legal age a girl should be allowed to marry with her parents' consent. 53% of Americans picked age 18. 25% of Americans picked age 19 or even older (13% of Americans picked age 21). 22% of Americans picked an age below 18. 15% of Americans picked age 16. This was, of course, the 1930s. In today's world, the percentage of Americans who would pick something under 18 would be way lower than 22%. In around 1950, society began to believe 18 year olds were too young for marriage, which is exemplified in a few short films from back then. Nonetheless, it wasn't unusual at all for 18/19 year olds back then to get married. The usual age of marriage back then was early 20s. Nowadays, many people might say that 21 year olds are too young for marriage.
In the first half of the 20th century (including the 1930s), researchers refused to pathologize men who engaged in sexual activity with underage teenagers and refused to molest prepubescent children. Statutory rapists weren't associated with rapists, child molesters, and other sex offenders. Instead, statutory rape was viewed by researchers as a "normal" sex act
In the first half of the 20th century, men marrying 16 or 17 year olds wasn't extremely taboo unless the man was a lot older. If he was in his early-mid 20s, it wasn't that stigmatized (or at least a lot less stigmatized than it is nowadays
The reason men in their early-mid 20s marrying or even dating 16/17 year old girls became taboo in mid-20th century is probably because of the increase of teenagers in school at this time.
A little over 80% were in school in the 1960s and about 6% were working. Since the 1970s, 90% have been in school and below 5% have worked. In the 1940s, it became the norm for white 16 year olds to be in school and became very unusual for them to work. This segregated them from older adults and put them exclusively with peers their age, segregating them all from the "real world" and, as a result, making teenagers grow up a lot more gradually. This appears to be the reason why dating 16/17 year olds started to become more frowned on in the mid-20th century even when you're just a few years older. This also appears to be why age differences between people over 18 became slightly less common in the 1950s/1960s (although still pretty common). In the 1970s, age differences between people over 18 became a lot less common and were now uncommon, possibly due to the fact that traditional gender roles were less encouraged
Also, in the late 20th century, more young adults were going to college, and even more did in the 21st century, further segregating young adults from older adults, and in the late 20th century, the prevalence of laws restricting responsibilities for young people skyrocketed, leading to society refusing to be okay with teenagers or young adults having responsibilities older adults can have, which, in turn, caused society to treat teenagers and young adults younger. Young adults aren't viewed as "real adults".

The moral panic over sex offenders, child molesters and pedophiles increases: The beginning of the sexual psychopath era (1930s)
In February 1937, Gallup asked Americans what they think the minimum legal age a girl should be allowed to marry with her parents' consent. 53% of Americans picked age 18. 25% of Americans picked age 19 or even older (13% of Americans picked age 21). 22% of Americans picked an age below 18. 15% of Americans picked age 16.
