I see this come up on social media, moreso with Gen Z and people that just like to be outraged about stuff online. They seem to be more sensitive to age gaps and call it grooming, even stuff within the typical "half your age plus seven" rule that most millenials and older gens seemed to find normal. I'm not sure that only 3 years would be a problem even for them though.

Well, I can totally imagine someone grooming a future partner from a very early age of 30 just to wait until they get retired and can spend the rest of life with them >!/s!<
