I'm here to talk about how foolish some people can be.
I think people who freak out & criticize about age gaps between fictional characters are the most craziest & the stupidest people. Basically, loafers with need to vent their emotional wrath online by criticising or hating others for irrational & inefficient reasons.
I was reading an ff, where I saw some criticisms about age difference & they started calling that character a pedo...
You read the tags, the summary the title & u know what u r walking into then why the heck r u complaining? Infact in real life, Ryan & Blake they both are such loved couples & they have the age gap of 11 yrs. If u can beat that why r u having issues with a 12 or 15 age gap in fictional stories? Hell in real life there's an age gap of like freaking 20 or 25, sometimes even more & there r still few accepting audience to their collective.
This is not constructive criticism, if these idiots think that's what they r doing then stop with it, cuz u r not. People need to stop with their 'practical criticism.' Bcuz stop being so practical, It's a frickin fiction/fantasy for a reason. If u need practical joy go read novels or biographies. Not every fictional story has to have practical sense in them.
Stop trying to relate ur life to fanfiction which is most often made for joy. If u want some practical sense in them, there are angst novels, so go find them. Bcuz u can't get practical story without any sort of angst.
So u don't have to like it, but if u don't like it just leave or don't read at all. STOP WITH THE HATE!
