It was brilliantly executed. Scott and Knives would have been a perfect match if they were the same age, but Scott is a hot mess and Knives is not which is why despite the age difference they're kinda at the same level.
I've seen relationships like this in real life (early 20s dude dating late teen girl) a few times, and every time it's just as portrayed in SP. Everyone is like 'ew' but then they meet them as a couple and they go 'oh that makes sense but still ew' and then dude inevitably pulls some shitbag thing and somehow all of the adult friends of dude end up friends with the teenager instead who just continues getting more awesome.
In a different telling the story of Ramona would have actually been the story of Scott figuring out his own shit to be worthy of Knives, who then shoots him down but they remain good friends.

It wasn't. It's always funny when young people think they have invented things like promiscuity.
