HAHA LEO DATE YOUNG CHICK AGAIN

[–] MBM@lemmings.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Hey now, that's last year's DiCaprio. His current girlfriend is 26!

"I love those 25 year olds. I get older, they stay the same age."

c/outOfTheLoop

Did he break up with someone recently?

[–] tkk13909@sopuli.xyz 7 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

He has an agreement with every girl he dates that they will break up when the girl turns 26.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know how explicit the agreement is but the next one certainly can't say she's unaware of the system.

I think he said in an interview somewhere he has no desire to or intention of settling down and starting a family. And he has this idea that women will start to want to do that in their mid-to-late 20s, so he makes it clear to the women he dates that it won’t last. They get to live his lifestyle and whatnot for a few years, then he moves on. He claims to be pretty upfront about it.

The older he gets the creepier it gets, but I suppose if everyone is informed and consenting it isn’t ethically wrong.

Isn't Ariel 16 in the movie?

[–] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 58 points 1 day ago

I don't think he's ever declared having a minimum age, only a maximum, make of that what you will.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

googles the character

Yup, she was 16 in the first movie.

Also she stayed married to Prince Eric and had a kid? I… didn’t need to know that.

[–] phx@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Honestly, go back in time a bit and this was pretty darn normal.

[–] arin@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Current time they still marry preteens in Muslim religions as long as she had her period

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

I read a conspiracy theory that Disney movies were designed to teach girls that marrying older men while you're a child is normal.

[–] andrewrgross@slrpnk.net 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

A conspiracy among whom?

Who were the folks in a dark room saying, 'Listen boys: we're here to uphold outdated gender norms. But to work, it's all gotta be hush-hush, capiche?'

This got a chuckle outta me.

But it do be true that Big Old runs the world.

[–] Sc00ter@lemm.ee 15 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, back when, it wasnt uncommon to be marrying young. Cinderella came out in 1950, a time where women didnt go to college, and it wasnt uncommon to be married right after high school to someone who could provide for you, would could easily be 22. Thats for everyday people. I imagine being royalty, where you didnt really have to go to high school or college, shakes those ages up even more

I wouldnt go as far as to call it a conspiracy theory because that wasnt out of the ordinary at the time

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Not that normal. In Romeo and Juliette her parents tell Paris that while they agree to the betrothal they won't let them marry immediately until she's ''a few seasons older'' but also, the plays were for everyday people, and aristocrat's were the only people marrying so young, and Paris is this big good get for the family to have ties to, so it makes sense he doesn't see a problem but her parents do.

[–] WilloftheWest@feddit.uk 4 points 10 hours ago

Romeo and Juliet were 13 though.

Leo dumps girls as soon as they turn 26. It's a thing. It's weird. So, we make fun of it.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 9 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Would it be weirder if he only dated women after they were 62? 🤔

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 22 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Considering his age it would now be much more acceptable

[–] Fuck_u_spez_@sh.itjust.works 8 points 19 hours ago

searches

He's 50. Definitely.

[–] TunaCowboy@lemmy.world -5 points 1 day ago (3 children)

It is a lot weirder to obsess over the dating habits of consensual adults.

[–] Rolder@reddthat.com 37 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don’t think going “huh, that’s kinda strange” would count as obsessing

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (2 children)

Our definition of consent and adult is arbitrary though.

Its 18 now for most places but for most of history you were considered an adult the moment you hit puberty.

Scientifically we know that your brain is still developing “adolescence” till their mid twenties. We have disconnected this term from the legal definition of adults but:

He is dating pre-adolescent women” is a scientifically correct statement and definitely an uncomfortable patterns to keep repeating.

We also know it’s personal. Its entirely possible for a 16 year old to have a matured sense of sexual consent while someone else at 20 does not. So which one is then ethically more ok to fuck?

EDIT: one very bad mixup of words.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not sure what way you're heading with this, but how about neither if they're both significantly younger?

Just because one is legal doesn't mean it's ethical either.

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 4 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

Seems like you understood what i meant perfectly tbh.

oh fuck i mixed up "post" and "pre". “He is dating pre-adolescent women” and to me that is predatory as it is exploitative. Hopefully that cleared things up.
