If this was the other way with the genders the comments on reddit would be filled with the pitchfork crowd. This is creepy, she first met him when he was 17 as "platonic friends" and within 2 years are dating, but also shortly after meeting her he broke up with his same age girlfriend. While 17 they said is the age of consent in their location, this is still grooming and creepy.

That's a very recent, very modern, take on it. Much less common this way round but it's ot so long ago that an age gap like that in reverse would have been considered perfectly normal. Nowadays it tends to be automatically assumed to be paedophîlia (even allowing for the fact that the word is inaccurate for people of that age). I'm not saying it's right or wrong, I dont know enough to judge, but automatic knee-jerk reactions like your comment are all too common.
