Yes. You can have these relationships on TV, in books, in movies. These aren't instruction manuals, they are dramatic storytelling. If you'd said something about changing the tone of the show for today's audience to express how wrong the relationship was through storytelling, I'd probably agree with you, but instead you act like this is literally instructive on how to go about life... that's just not it. How do you consume ANY TV series if you feel that way though... Game of Thrones alone is so full of wrongness that I can't even put it in the same category of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But again, it isn't instructive. It's just entertainment. It's supposed to make you feel something. I think it's good that you feel so strongly about it, I just can't agree that it is somehow condoning anything.

Video games don't cause people to go on violent killing sprees.

TV series don't cause people to date old men.
