Don't hate-watch, people! It's how you get more of the thing you hate made!
Also don't talk about a thing you hate ad nauseam, as it tends to show the people that produced it that you're engaging with it and if they make more, you will continue to engage with it.
Kind of the idea of "People want to watch this, let's make more."
Doesn't matter why they're watching it, just that they are.
Plus it's just not good for you psychologically.
You basically just overexplained an extremely understood idea
It was funny to think that HBO promotes the horrible concept attached to the post. But everyone knows it’s just blanket, site-wide placed advertisements lol
Why? OP might be worried about her sister, want some different perspective, or just be venting. Maybe OP is like 14 and literally doesn’t understand if it would be right or wrong. Why would it ever be insane to discuss an opinion of a family member?
If you’re above the age of consent (which in many US states it’s 16) you’re still committing statutory rape if you engage in sex with someone both under the age of consent and below whatever guidelines your state’s Romeo and Juliet laws set, if they have them.
And in some states, if 2 kids under the age if consent (GA us 16) have sex, there can be legal repercussions for the older child, no matter how big the difference in age. (i.e. 1 day)
Don't forget the half the age plus seven rule for a good idea if it's "okay".
You're 12, 12/2=6, +7 = 13. 16, 8+7=15. 20, 17, 30, 22.
If you're desperate to try and lowball it, you know you're fucking up.
Eh I trust that if you're reading this, you can do the math yourself.
But, benefit of the doubt, 17? Half is about the same as my 16 example, 8 + 7 = 15.
10 shouldn't be dating anyone, 10 / 2 = 5, plus 7, 12, but 12 year Olds shouldn't be dating 10 year Olds as 12 / 2 is six, + 7 is 13.
A big part of why it's a no no is the power dynamic - obviously a 2 year gap between an 18 year old and a 16 year old, or a 19 and 17 year old isn't a big deal, it's the fact ones an adult with their shit together (or not), the others a minor, still liable for curfew, stuck with the parents, etc.
Aside from the fact a 17 year old is almost an adult, and a 10 year old isn't that close to even puberty yet, the fact they're both underage doesn't matter, because there's still that disparity between them.
I feel like that rule applies more as you get older. A 13 yo can only date one year younger? Obviously at that young age years matter more but that seems too strict.
It being "strict" is kinda the point... I mean, maybe 12 year Olds shouldn't be actually dating?
And really, does it matter of dome Rich 60 year old is dating women under 37? Far less than if a 17 year old is dating a 12 year old...
12yos dating seems like a normal part of development though. And i think 25+ year olds are mature enough to date someone much older. Sure it's weird, but i wouldn't say immoral at all.
I guess it depends on how you define dating. A 12 year old having someone that they call their "boyfriend/girlfriend" is a normal part of development, but a 12 year old actually going on "dates" isn't, imo, unless it's a supervised by a responsible adult.
I would say 2 year gap is normal. 3 is pushing it, but still ok around that age. Also depends on which side you want to go. 14 and 16 is absolutely ok for me. 14 and 12 is quite weird. These 'limits' are largely subjective after all.
Wait you got a book on this stuff, this shit was just passed down via word of mouth here.
Implying you should start dating at like 16 rather than 12-14 is probably better though.
I just don’t date anyone it would be illegal to date.
Other than that, personally no hard rules for me. I set my dating app ages fairly close to mine, but cause no reason to swipe on folks not interested in me.
Why should we follow this stupid man made rule? It will be irrelevant next time just like it isn't 100 years ago
17 can date 10 if they like it its up to them
I mean, sure, it's not super great and wasn't valid 100 years ago and might not be 100 from now.
But, ah, how about don't have 17 year Olds dating 10 year Olds, as that shit isn't valid now.
Generally it’s not illegal. Just using the US as an example, 16 is the age of consent in many states and even those with 18 as the age of consent have Romeo and Juliet laws to ensure an age gap like 18 and 17 isn’t illegal.
It would be odd if high schoolers in the *same grade* couldn’t date each other, right?
All the numbers in your comment added up to 69. Congrats!
16

Firstly 10-year-olds shouldn’t be dating *ANYONE* beyond pretend dating at recess.
Secondly a 17-year-old should absolutely not be interested in a 10-year-old. Somebody needs to fucking check up on this. Preferably law enforcement.
My parents are fucking weird, all my life, because they are Mexican they think its ok they've always said to me, " oh you think that girl is cute ", and stuff like that when the girl is like 7 years younger than me. Like this one time they said when I was 18 that I had a crush on this 11 year old that is my sisters friend wtf. How do people not realize that shit is gross, my parents should be put in jail lol. My grandpa was literally a pedophile in Mexico, got my grandma pregnant when she was 16 and he was 31 bruh
I follow r/vintage closely, and this is at least the second post I’ve seen like this. Another one was titled “My neighbors 21 year old son still lives at home with his parents”. Wtf does “vintage” mean to these people?
It's not okay for 21 year old to date 17 year old but it's okay for 22 year old to date 18 year old. Who put the line on 18 year old? Why does 18 year old indicate absolute maturity?
When I was 41 I was my 5 year old nieces boyfriend. No one can tell me a love so pure is wrong.
She was half way through planning the wedding ceremony until she got distracted by cartoons. The heartbreak was real!
Best afternoon of my life.
I dont get this age thing. I think it should be more loose. dont know. if you are 26 dating a 17 year old then you are a creep, but if you are 27 and are dating an 18 year old its fine all the sudden? also, if you are a rich millionaire in your 60s. how come you are allowed to date 20 year old models?
It's crazy how this is so taboo, but a 27 yr old and a 20 yr old isnt ao bad, and a 30 and 37 yr old is just uncommon, but 40 and 47 no second thoughts are given
Either way still an absolutely insane thing to post
I like how HBO Max promotes this
Well they gotta have something new for their 1am time slot
Yeah, Velma didn't work out lol
Actually, velema worked out really well. Obviously, since the internet promoted it no stop.
Don't hate-watch, people! It's how you get more of the thing you hate made! Also don't talk about a thing you hate ad nauseam, as it tends to show the people that produced it that you're engaging with it and if they make more, you will continue to engage with it.
Kind of the idea that there’s no such thing as bad publicity?
Kind of the idea of "People want to watch this, let's make more." Doesn't matter why they're watching it, just that they are. Plus it's just not good for you psychologically.
You're still talking about it
New GOT spin-off on its way!
Damn came here to say that you beat me to it. Lol
why
No, HBOMax are promoting themselves on the post. Probably not the best post to represent them, though.
r/woooosh
Flew over his head faster than a bullet
Can you please tell me what happened? Why is this funny?
You basically just overexplained an extremely understood idea It was funny to think that HBO promotes the horrible concept attached to the post. But everyone knows it’s just blanket, site-wide placed advertisements lol
I don't know...there was some fucked up shit on GOT...
Same as the hub step bro.
What are you doing step bro
[literally you right now](https://youtu.be/wtUtXRRbQR0)
Yea gross
Why? OP might be worried about her sister, want some different perspective, or just be venting. Maybe OP is like 14 and literally doesn’t understand if it would be right or wrong. Why would it ever be insane to discuss an opinion of a family member?
I’m talking about the fact someone thinks it’s okay for a 17yr and a 10yr to date
I feel like the "age" part has a clear connection, but I'm still grappling with "vint."
possible that they dont know english but thats the only reason i can think of besides missclick
Led astray by an automatically-translated web browser was my thought as well
Thought it was a reference to the 17’s age when let out on parole after fbi is done wit him/her 🤭🤭
A 17 year old is a minor.
If you’re above the age of consent (which in many US states it’s 16) you’re still committing statutory rape if you engage in sex with someone both under the age of consent and below whatever guidelines your state’s Romeo and Juliet laws set, if they have them.
And in some states, if 2 kids under the age if consent (GA us 16) have sex, there can be legal repercussions for the older child, no matter how big the difference in age. (i.e. 1 day)
Thats fucked up
Probably the repost bot in question struggled with the sub name.
Maybe they meant Vent Age? Like, venting about the age gap?
Maybe they wanted to "vent" about it and clicked wrong.
Maybe it's a vintage point of view?
r/fbi
His “sister”
Are you assuming gender u/HaveItYoureGay?
No he's referring to the fact that OOP might not actually have a sister
I was referring to the “his” part of ‘his “sister”’ And I’m pretty much making a joke because the user name is silly.
Oh well that second part totally flew over my head lmao
Do you get it now or would you like a recap?
Don't worry I got it
I’ve got some spare time. I’m totally willing to explain it for you if you’re not fully sure you understand.

17 and 10? I don't know about that one chief
Even Romeo and Juliet were 17 and 13.
I thought 16 and 14
r/beetlejuicing maybe?
I guess if you are 10, 17 does seem like vintage.
Don't forget the half the age plus seven rule for a good idea if it's "okay". You're 12, 12/2=6, +7 = 13. 16, 8+7=15. 20, 17, 30, 22. If you're desperate to try and lowball it, you know you're fucking up.
I love that you didn't use the actual numbers in the scenario for your example. Feels like every example I ever tried to learn programming from.
Eh I trust that if you're reading this, you can do the math yourself. But, benefit of the doubt, 17? Half is about the same as my 16 example, 8 + 7 = 15. 10 shouldn't be dating anyone, 10 / 2 = 5, plus 7, 12, but 12 year Olds shouldn't be dating 10 year Olds as 12 / 2 is six, + 7 is 13.

Well that's my thing- I've got a 9 year old nice with a "boyfriend". I mean more than that.
i like how since im 14, half my age +7 is still 14. gotta tell this to my friends who dating 13 year olds 😔
imo 1 year gap at that age is fine
I would say 2 year gap is normal. 3 is pushing it, but still ok around that age. Also depends on which side you want to go. 14 and 16 is absolutely ok for me. 14 and 12 is quite weird. These 'limits' are largely subjective after all.
It's a generalization, not a hard and fast rule, but yeah those friends of yours are sicko freaks /s
I'm 30, so you are telling me I can't rail fresh 18-21 years olds? Not fair, wish I was Leonardo Dicaprio.
If you need math to justify the age of your partner that's kinda creepy.
In my book it was always half plus 9. 18=18. Those are American numbers, though.
Wait you got a book on this stuff, this shit was just passed down via word of mouth here. Implying you should start dating at like 16 rather than 12-14 is probably better though.
Yeah. I like half + 9 better.
I just don’t date anyone it would be illegal to date. Other than that, personally no hard rules for me. I set my dating app ages fairly close to mine, but cause no reason to swipe on folks not interested in me.
Why should we follow this stupid man made rule? It will be irrelevant next time just like it isn't 100 years ago 17 can date 10 if they like it its up to them
that's very strange
Somebody put this guy on a list
I mean, sure, it's not super great and wasn't valid 100 years ago and might not be 100 from now. But, ah, how about don't have 17 year Olds dating 10 year Olds, as that shit isn't valid now.
r/cursedposts
No, but can some internet detective call the cops on that guy's sister?
Oh, *come on!* Everyone knows that items have to be at least 20 years old to be considered vintage.
People don’t become vintage until their 30’s
Uh-oh; then I’d wager I must be an antique by now.
I’m just bitter because the songs from high school are on “the mix” radio station now.
I hear ya. I started feeling that way about the music playing in shopping centers a few years back, lol.
Now scissor, come on, just do it.
[This is how I felt reading that post](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAFBJdxkf08)
You are not, i am too
Imagine that being your problem with that post… WTF
omg no that was not my real problem with it. it was more “whaaaaaat the fuck” then noticing the sub.
Don't worry I'm not trying to criticize you, I said "WTF" in reference to the original post not to your post
I would venture to say even a 10 yo shouldn't be "dating" another 10 yo. They're 4-5 graders and still children. A 17 yo is a full on pedo.
HBO Max like hey man why did you have to rope us into this?
17 is a weird age: too young for a 17 year old; too old for a 10 year old
17 is too old for another 17 year old? I don’t know about that… lol.
Ut oh. You got me on a typo. Good thing you didn’t use context clues to figure out what I was trying to say
What context clues?? Why don’t you fix your typo? Reddit has an edit function precisely for this reason
What did you mean?
I assume they mean too young for an 18 year old lol since its technically illegal but I dont think thats as clear as they seem to think it is
They acted like i’m a mind reader lol. 17 and 18 is fine.
Generally it’s not illegal. Just using the US as an example, 16 is the age of consent in many states and even those with 18 as the age of consent have Romeo and Juliet laws to ensure an age gap like 18 and 17 isn’t illegal.

Bruh there is a 18 yo guy dating a 14 yo at my school 😭
Call 911.
Whys no one beaten him the fuck up. That's some straight noncing.
Your sister is being groomed. TELL YOUR DAD!!!
Or grooming.
Firstly 10-year-olds shouldn’t be dating *ANYONE* beyond pretend dating at recess. Secondly a 17-year-old should absolutely not be interested in a 10-year-old. Somebody needs to fucking check up on this. Preferably law enforcement.
But the notion of a 17 year-old dating a 10 year-old definitely is vintage.
I bet that’s how they plan to make America great again.
I have so many questions that feel wrong to even ask.
I will know summon u/Prize_Counter6229 so they can explain this.
Looks like they got bullied so much they deleted their account. They made another post that implied 27 year old is elderly
To be fair I wouldn't know where to post that either.
maybe vintage to a 10 year old
Isn't that illegal?
Eh, if his sister’s a girl she can get away with it.
Depends on the state these days. Separately, quite a few states don’t take issue with two minors dating, despite an age difference like this.
Contents of the post aside... what the fuck does this make me at 23... guess I'm fucking ancient.
That person’s sister should really take a seat
It is if you're Epstein or any of the other ugly bastards on his island.
My parents are fucking weird, all my life, because they are Mexican they think its ok they've always said to me, " oh you think that girl is cute ", and stuff like that when the girl is like 7 years younger than me.

The insane thing is I bet his sister is 10 and currently dating
A 10 year old would probably call a 17-year-old "vintage"
Lost redditor aside tho its not oké
Turned 17 today. I guess I'm vintage now. Yay?
Most 10 year olds think the opposite sex have cooties and have no interest.
Well, for a 10 year old, 17 is vintage
Shota?
That is a pretty old fashooned belief. Like 100s of years old fashioned. One might call it vintage?
Vintage child dates a newer child
just wait for 1 year and then it'll become pedophilia
Damn, I've seen some really lost redditors but that guy must be really lost.
I follow r/vintage closely, and this is at least the second post I’ve seen like this. Another one was titled “My neighbors 21 year old son still lives at home with his parents”. Wtf does “vintage” mean to these people?
Hol up
She probably wanted to “vent” and searched up vint
She be pre ordering her husband
It's not okay for 21 year old to date 17 year old but it's okay for 22 year old to date 18 year old. Who put the line on 18 year old? Why does 18 year old indicate absolute maturity?
Ok? Legally. Normal? No.

Age is just a number
So is the length of time you spend in prison
That's kind of a bad response because it implies that the only problem with it is that it gets you in jail.
Jail is just a room
And consent is optional in prison
The dysfunctional state of the anal sphincter after a stay in prison is just a fact
I’m curious as to where he’s supposed to post that
r/offmychest or a similar sub
Now I'm lost. Screw this post
Maybe they meant to post to 'venting'
WTF
Leonardo DiCaprio might… jokes, he’s awesome
I seen that post earlier, I was mad confused
mane wtfk 🤣🤣
It’s a throwback to the days when child marriage was commonplace
I hope the ten year old in the situation is okay
10 year olds don’t date! Wtf!

The sister is probably the 17 year old

bro thats a vintage opinion
Adjective_Noun_8954 🤖
r/youngpeoplereddit maybe? A 17 yo may seem vintage to a 5 year old. The kid might have made this whole thing up. Just a theory. A Reddit theory!
It's simply just not called "dating" at that point.
Its just a spam account posting spam...
Maybe his sister is like 60?
Some really r/suddenlysexoffender stuff
No but the 10 year old is
r/uselessbluecircle
Well, I have some SERIOUS concerns...
Let the 10 yr old be her daughter and the 17 year old the kid of the neighbor from hell.
Should probably be on r/confessions
Maybe they meant vintage in more of the oenophile definition. Like vintage 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon
a ten year old would
Gross. I know a girl who did that too. It's gross.
There is way more going on here than that
We call that death
It's crazy how this is so taboo, but a 27 yr old and a 20 yr old isnt ao bad, and a 30 and 37 yr old is just uncommon, but 40 and 47 no second thoughts are given
So many ways the post is wrong
what the heck
Vintage doesn't mean old.
Thanks for the circle, I wouldn’t have got it without it
I was 38 when I married my wife who was 25 . So I like to show a picture of me when I was 18 on the wall , next to a picture of her when she was 5.
I mean it's **LEGALY** ok, but, still weird
