Leonardo DiCaprio is 50 and is still dating 18 year old girls, does anyone else feel like this is wrong?
He’s 48 and she’s 19, unless you’re trying to intentionally mislead with your thread title.
But that’s besides the point. Leftists need to understand that the age thing isn’t as big a deal as it seems. Honestly this sounds like some moralistic western left thing.
Conservative idiots will point out that kids can elect to start the transition process at a much younger age and use that as some kind of argument “win” against the same leftists who get creeped out by age gaps. Even though they’re only pointing this out as a debatebro tactic (cuz they actually hate trans people), the point still kind of stands. If you’re willing to let teenagers make big life decisions, then at the very least an 18 year old should be able to date someone much older. Otherwise you run the risk of infantalizing people, which has its own set of issues. And tbh it’s also ageist to suggest that older ppl should “stay in their own lane” so to speak.
Conservatives are absolutely already using this moment to bring up the age people can transition. Granted most of them seem to think there are toddlers getting reassignment surgery, so it’s not exactly rooted in reality.
I tend to think that an 18 year-old does have the right to decide if they want to date somebody older than them. That being said, being in my 30s, the concept of dating an 18 year-old sounds extremely weird to me. I have no interest in developing an intimate relationship with somebody that much younger than me and I would strongly question the motivations of somebody who does, at least until the younger person reaches their late 20s.
So I don’t really know. I don’t think I’d support making a relationship like this illegal, but I don’t think it should be normalized in society either. Maybe that’s hypocritical?
Dating a significantly older person is not at like taking hrt when your twelve. If anything having more kids willingly take hrt will result in less discord shenanigans between minors and discord predators.
And tbh it’s also ageist to suggest that older ppl should “stay in their own lane” so to speak.
this is one of the stupidest things i’ve read all day
You see nothing wrong with a very old person electing to date a younger person? The power dynamic is exploitative, it’s not as bad as outright

pedophilia
but there’s gotta be a rule that deals with situations like Leonardo DiCaprio exclusively dating young girls. That should be legally prosecutable. We have Romeo and Juliet laws for a reason, we need to have a Leonardo DiCaprio law. Like it’s okay if a 30 year old dates a 30 year old once, five times though? That’s gonna require some reeducation.

Didn’t he star in a Romeo and Juliet movie actually?
