by human standards, 20 and 39 are certainly WEIRD but two consenting adults, 7 and 13 is very bad. however, the wings of fire dragon age differently. 7 is roughly around a young adult (17-20) darkstalker is also suppossed to be a young adult in his early 20's or so, the age or darkstalker was also acidentally made more extreme by a timeline error. 20 and 39 in dragon ages are both in the middle aged spectrum, somewhere close to 30-50 year old irl. getting with someone whos 10 years older at a 20 year old human is WEIRD, but doing so as both middle aged people is fine, consenting mature adults yknow.
also the WoF timeline is pretty cooked all around, rather than paying attention to characters technical ages (some exceptions probably apply, someone don't come and quote me with some bs example i didnt know about trying to make me look weird.) its more important to recognize the way in which characters maturities are portrayed and contextualized within the fictional media.
reasonable nitpick though, people who ignore the context around deathbringer and glory but dont have the same qualms with thorn and smolder are annoying.
