I hate how some people are fine with it, like "it's okay, he's an actor."

As a middle-aged person, let me just say for everyone's benefit that there is no such thing as a man in his 30s dating a teenager who isn't a creep.

Should large age gaps be illegal to protect young women?

Not sure I understand why you're asking my opinion on this, but I will comment to say that it seems sexist to just make this about women.

Teenage boys and enbys can and do get exploited by these creeps as well as women.

Should it be illegal? This is a question that raises many philosophical questions that I'm not equipped to answer. I feel comfortable with my existing statement above, and I'll leave the legal question to others.
