My citation is that my beating heart has revealed to me through visions of bodily awareness that there's an age at which a fully grown adult is capable of telling anyone else in the world to fuck off. At that point it's simply not my problem if they get into a weird age relationship. To me that number is 27 - so if a 27 year old wanted to date a 79 year old it's just not my business. It's a thing nobody need concern themselves with until one of them tries to retaliate or prevent the other from leaving then you might reasonably intervene by anything up to state power to collectively tell them to fuck off.

The point being I like the odds of a mentally and physically sound 24 year old from New York to be at the fuck off threshold 3 years early. "Doesn't it make Mamdani weird if he wants to be in the weird age relationship?" 1) like you said it doesn't break the rule of thumb. 1.5) If Mamdani has that same idea for a fuck off threshold of a New Yorker then it's whatever to me. 2) he did the smart thing and was married by time he went to office where he was capable of having a power imbalance. 3) If we're talking 30s and mid 20s I'm going to need more than just the age for it to be problematic enough to ping on the radar. It's a slow day at the slop factory. 4) when it's us-foreign-policy but you can't quite prove it. 5) ayyyyyy! I'm walkin' 'ere!
