Does anyone know where the factory door code is hidden? Cannot find it anywhere

I'm not specifically calling out those on this sub but the subject in general and those who spread this nonesense like it's the law.

I see the words "creepy" or "predatory" being thrown around regarding a (for example) relationship between a man in their late 20s or 30 and a woman in their early 20s. What gives? Have we moved the threshold for what is considered adulthood? Is the legal age of consent now 25 or something? What did I miss? Are late 20s or 30 year old men considered a pedophile for dating anyone under the age of 25? That's the message that some are spreading with considerable effort and it's ridiculous.

People who meet in this age range (and no sooner than 18 of course) have every right to give it a shot and those voicing their negative judgment on the matter just because THEY don't like it should instead mind their own business with the same amount of effort. These relationships do work more than the internet (Reddit in particular) would leave you to believe and it's time we move away from this relatively recent idiology.

Sure there are potential challenges involved like all relationships, but people and situations are too dynamic to be throwing around the "brain development" and "stage of life" argument without context on the situation, yet I see it happening a lot lately without hesitation.
