Yeah, which falls under the risks I mentioned not to be ignorant to.

But also, sometimes you're a 23 year old who gets put on assignment at work with a 31 year old coworker and are surprised how well you hit it off.

My point wasn't "yay age gap relationships!," it was to evaluate the world around you with the necessary nuanced rather than reductively.

No but it's weird. I bet you didn't think of that

I don't understand what you are arguing about it than. The post doesn't say we should vote for age gaps in relationships to be banned. Supposedly you think it's good to talk about the downsides of these relationships, but here you are, calling it a "conservative Trojan horse". It seems like you actually do not want people to criticise it.

I want them to criticize the right aspects. In general I want us to approach the world looking for more nuance, not looking for reductivism.

Yeah. Not impossible for the to be healthy relationships but those appear to be the minority. With age generalay comes other factors, like financial resources, that strike a relationship power imbalance.
