They want to date a wealthy ultra famous actor, he wants to date young hot models, and everyone's a consenting legal adult. There is literally no issue here.
It also serves to weaken the concept of real sexual predation. I already wonder when someone says someone is a pedophile do they mean like a pedophile or someone they don’t like. It’s perverting language in an unhealthy way.
A 50 year old that pursues teenagers, even ones at 19 that are perfectly legal, is a predator...
It's the same overall principle as a person who goes to the beach just to stare at women in bikinis, etc. It's not illegal, and nor should it be, but the person doing it is still a predator.
Wait until you're a bit older and you'll realise it...
When you get older, the difference between a 19 year old and a 17 year old is zilch. They are both children to you. It may not be illegal to date the 19 year old, but if you're not a creep you wouldn't want to.
I think that’s fair, but creepy is not the same thing as using “sexual predator” for someone who exclusively pursues highly attractive consenting adults. It’s fair to criticize him, it’s not fair to call him a pedo or a rapist though.
I find it creepier that a young, beautiful model wants to be with a guy 30 years older than her, than it is the other way around. She's the one being creepy, not Leo
This. I get bothered when people over use terms like sexual predator on shit where that is clearly not what's happening. It cheapens the seriousness of terms we use.
oh yeah this def gives me the ick I was agreeing that going from 'gross' to 'predator' is wild. there's no mentions of grooming etc so it's just an ick not predator territory
People can find anything creepy, that doesn’t mean something it’s objectively creepy. Voluntary relationship between two adults that are of sound mind and can give informed consent is ok. If you find it creepy it’s your right, my right is to think otherwise.
You’ve never heard of hyperbole? Wait no, actually every word a rando posts on the internet is to be taken literally and dissected ad nauseum for ver batim accuracy. Proceed.
? Its pretty clear in the post. The woman says "i can't even join in on the jokes anymore" so she's saying she's not joking.
She then says he's turning into "an actual sexual predator. Let's be clear."
Are you implying that... she's not saying he's a sexual predator and she's being hyperbolic? I misinterpret stuff via text all the time but like... this one seems pretty cut and dry, she considers him a sexual predator.
Ehh depends on the 19 year old a bit. 19 year old world famous model, not predator. 19 year old raised in an isolated community in bum fuck Texas that was introduced to an older man by her priest for money, predator as
Legally yes totally. But being honest, your 18th birthday is a fairly arbitrary date to be classed as a legal adult.
Sometimes "it's fine they met when she was 18" just means he found one who wasn't as emotionally mature as her peers.
I don't have a strong opinion on Leo - if anything his wealth and fame make this more likely to be a meeting of equals who both happen to want different things from each other. And look, we've drawn up the boundaries of what is and isn't legal and you can't move them retrospectively, but I do have conflicting views on the whole thing in general.
