Yes, people should definitely avoid or end their relationships because a bunch of people on internet felt weird about it!
"Son, everyone is bothering us about you dating that black girl, would you please just end this and do the right thing? It makes the community uncomfortable"
"These celebrities are always dating girls as young as my daughter is! i wish these creeps would just correct their behaviors"
Before someone starts having a seizure thinking "a-a-are you equating racial discrimination with us being against big age gaps in relationships? how d-d-dare you?:
Both statements are attacking adults for making their own decisions, and are making assumptions about the intentions and mental state of the people involved in the relationship.
The point: Mind your own business; What you feel is wrong or creepy about age gaps in relationships applies only to your idea of a "decent" behavior.
