I really don’t see the issue, frankly. People claim that it’s because some people are older and they have more experience that that makes them able to manipulate younger people, somehow. But to be fair, a lot of older people are just as fuckin’ stupid as 18 year olds and barely have progressed mentally. IDK, I’m not really willing to die on this hill, but I don’t think the discourse around it is very convincing.
It’s not about age, it’s about time to accumulate capital and economic dominance and coercion

Yeah like every maga chud who’s 50+ who acts like a complete child when the waiter/waitress at a restaurant isn’t treating them like a god. Or the countless politicians who act like complete children and rage out over the dumbest shit. Yea I’ve never really bought into the mental maturity thing too much b/c to be honest, pretty much everyone who grows up middle class in the US is in some form of arrested development. Especially when compared to how quickly kids have to become “adults” (as in start supporting the family, working, etc.) in the global south.
It’s fuckin weird of him to do it, we were all 19 at some point (well, I’m assuming lol) we’ve all made bad choices. One of those bad choices is easily dating someone nearly 30 years older than you, especially when he keeps dumping girlfriends when they reach the age of 22.
But for Leo to do it, come on man, it’s a creepy thing to do. And he just keeps doing it and dumping them when they age out.

“RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK”
Story Conference Transcript
January 23, 1978 thru January 27, 1978
George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Larry Kasdan
George Lucas wanted a pedophile in Raiders of the Lost Ark. “He could have known this little girl when she was just a kid. Had an affair with her when she was eleven.” L — “And he was forty-two.” Steven Speilberg — “And promiscuous. She came onto him.”
G — Fifteen is right on the edge. I know it’s an outrageous idea, but it is interesting. Once she’s sixteen or seventeen it’s not interesting anymore.
How about that for the attitudes of Hollywood royalty?
