Not a fan of the movie, but this is clearly the worst movie to use to make this point.... Like, this is not portrayed as healthy sexuality.
It's an adult and a fucking MINOR. It's a horrible thing he does that we are not supposed to be okay with.
I think Hanania must just be an idiot? The climax of American Beauty is Lester realizing how bad it would be to act out his fantasies about his daughter's best friend. The movie is not about how cool it is for dads to bag high school girls. Also Kevin Spacey is a personally notorious kid toucher

Like unless your Leonardo DiCaprio and exclusively dating people 30 years younger than you, nobody cares if there is an age gap if folks are adults (well, maybe adult plus a few years).
