Asking people on this forum whether relationships outside most people's comfort zone, whether age, race, or whatever, is cool or acceptable, is pointless because quite a few are very much opinionated against anything that goes against their 'norms.'
Most people answer predictably in two ways. One is totally against, and the other ambivalent like saying "none of my business, as long as they are happy (the safe and PC option).
So if people in these types of relationships are seeking validation and approval on this forum, best try somewhere else. Probably a forum or website dedicated to the particular situation you are involved with.
Accept that? I mean, what is anyone going to do if they don't like it? Not speak to them? Oh my. Maybe send them to prison! WTF do you mean would you accept that. As a parent if it were your child, you either choose to accept it or you don't. If you don't and they love each other, I can tell you who will be the one that loses out on this, the parent if they give an ultimatum.
As far as friends and aquaintances, it's really nobody else's business. And if your friends can't accept it, they weren't very good friends, it's time to find new ones.
My last bf was 26 and I am over 45. No problem. No one cares. He was a better guy and treated me better than any bf I've had in years. He is an exceptional man; I don't think I'd date other guys that young unless they are exceptional.
I also knew there was no future but I could sit at home for two years alone or I could enjoy a closeness for two years and have a positive experience. I chose the latter obviously.
If she's happy then of course but in reality it's none of my business
