Everything is allowed if the writer just writes it. The studios never forced the writers’ hands one way or the other.
Dan Povermire apparently based this off of him having dated his older sister’s bff as a kid.
Hirsch just wanted Wendy to be some moral grayble about how agegaps are wrong.
WenDip shippers always try to cope by playing the moral whataboutism card but really comes down to the fact that Wendy and Dipper never had any romantic chemistry together.
Casual people (for lack of a better definition) are not very aware of seasons 3 and 4, which is where Monty appears, ironically they are the seasons in which Ferb does NOT interact with Vanessa.
Anyway, "Ferbnessa" is just fanservice and has no significant development.
Gravity Falls try to pivot into a coming-of-age story while PnF was strictly comedy; they could get away with it. Plus, giving Dipper more of a reason to stay would have made Mabel look worse.
Alex Hirsch denies he's into age gaps while Dan accepts that he was. That's why Dan wistfully reflects on his childhood crush on an older girl, while Hirsch has to hookup with nineteen year olds behind Dana's back.
Dipper isn't ugly enough, so it'd be too realistic.
What could Phineas & Ferb do Gravity Falls couldn't?
Oh yeah, draw an audience!
Dipper is talentless and could never support a wife/family.
Because Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh are CHADS and Alex Hirsch is a soiboi hack.
Dan has the most powerful goofy dad energy I have ever encountered.
Don't worry, now that every virtue-signaler pointed this out they'll be forced to retcon this in the revival.

It was also a casting joke as Ferb's original VA was that kid in the movie Love Actually that has a crush on their classmate played by Olivia Olson.

Age gaps aren't wrong, but they are silly when the girl is the older one. It's like a mouse trying to eat a cat.
Because it was played for laughs
Twitter outrage aside this is such a garbage meme ship even worse than phinabella
Can't believe they threw away an actual romance for this crap

Act your age sucks and hopefully it's retconned

The writers for one show liked that pair for their show and the writers for the other show didn't like the pair for theirs.
