The Age Gap debate on this sub

We all know Maddie and Caspian's questionable age gap has raised alarms in this sub and iswr i see a dumb argument on it everyday...

Let me just state my standpoint as an actual teenager...

Am I against Maddie and Caspian getting together despite supposed senior and freshman age gap? No absolutely not. Their relationship made sense considering they were both in dire situations and saw themselves in vulnerable positions + the chemistry is undeniable and there was no clear evidence of predatory behavior

Do I believe the writers should have made the age gap more clear and suitable? yes absolutely!!

16 & 18 is fine, but iswr I thought it was 14 & 18 for a good part of the show. I considered 15 & 18 but that's still weird coming from an actual 15 year old.

I hate when people label Caspian as predatory and take away from the entire point of the show...

Like I said, Im not the biggest fan of the supposed age gap but It can be brushed over and should not be the focus point for fans. But dare I say, I also hate when grown ass adult fans come on here and defend the age gap and the whole sex thing by saying Teenagers have sex all the time..

Like since when were u even a teenager 🌚

It's so weird, like a lot of teen shows have sex in it, but i guarantee u a good 80% of teens r virgins

Overall, I believe ppl are allowed to make valid criticism on the age gap but shouldn't label Caspian a pedo or take away from the important points of the show. But still dont go around normalizing underage sex..

This discourse needs to die down asap tho.
