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

spoiler

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.

I don’t think it should be legally prosecutable, because the law is a blunt instrument, but I do think it should be socially unacceptable. Subject to social stigma, not invited to the good parties, miss out on opportunities, etc.

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

If they can’t drink it shouldn’t be legal.

Leo is definitely guilty of being a complete fucking manchild but I don’t see why you would make being a manchild illegal.

Like what are the options here exactly? Codify the “half your age + 7” rule into law?
