I'm guessing it's to figure it out. The wiki has it at 17/18 and by simple math it is true. In essense, we solved that dilemma. (However, there's this notion that Emma was 16 years old and victim to a terrible crime by a horrendous individual). Actually, simple math puts her at 16. Read the top of this thread, y'all, I put it there for a reason (actually her being 18 is mathematically impossible but k).

And yes she was a victim of sexual abuse (then later being imprisoned and put through trauma). And I wouldn't use the word horrendous for Neal. Just douchey, really. Asshole is another good one. So, you're basically spreading hate about a couple and a part of the fandom by being really rude against a character? And, at the same time, you don't seem to see the problems with CS love story?

Guess it tells us a lot about many things ^^

Emma was 17, when she ended up being pregnant by Neal. Plus; there is no need to pretend wrong things because you are not happy by this part of Emma's life. Neal did play of Emma, they both fall in love, and they were truly in love. That's clearly the message of the show, and what happened in the series. Henry was born from two people who were in love in their time. Love. Family. Hope.

And that's not really by twisting the events or facts as you want them, that it'll change something to this message. So yeah, if your point was just to spread hate against one character and one possible part of the fans (because yeah, just the title of the tumblr shows us that), I don't think it is a good reason to start a discussion.
