I'm not going to harp much on That Guy or his defenders, because it won't accomplish much, and rage bait is the only thing keeping him relevant in the year 2025.
But I can't help but laugh at the assertion that 20 and 16 isn't that significant of a difference in age or power, because what that tells me (setting aside the possibility of, hm... let's say, lying with nefarious intent) is that either A) you don't really talk to many people outside your age bracket, or B) you are so socially and emotionally stunted that of course you wouldn't perceive a difference, because those children genuinely are more mature than you are.
