Of course all these "It is so cweepie that an older guy dates a way younger perfectly legal consenting adult" has ultimately no other goal than raising the age of consent and criminalizing these relationships. In way older times, there used to be bans on interracial relationships, these were abolished on the legal level because people realized that it was discriminatory, ridiculous and you can't criminalize relationships.
And yet, here we are going, on our way to stratify what relationships people are allowed to pursue on the basis of age. And I don't even mean AOC, I mean shit like "If you are 30 you can only date people from X age to Y age, if you are 40 you can only date people from X age to Y age". Truly this is the Jack Thompsom type conservatism and moralism of our time, the new conservatism and restrictions on people's ability to love will be born out of them.
