She's 21, she's been perved over by a horrific media and gross men since she was 11, and she got married last year...! I feel like she had to mature super fast, feeling like prey, and then married really quickly because a man was nice to her. I have everything crossed for her that he's a good one, and also that the defence of "being someone's wife" does actually work. (Ie "we the media can't perv over her as much now, because "she's someone's wife"" pardon me while I vomit that this is necessary)
I graduated 2020, 27 now, and this post made me realize how crazy the idolization of 18-22 year old girls gets. I think the craziest part is when your in that age bracket and have some type of sell for your sexuality, you have 11 year olds to 60 year olds thinking your hot, thats fucking insane to think about, let alone manage
I also graduated ‘20 and am 26. Agree, it’s so weird reflecting on that as I’ve gotten older…especially since it’s a pretty awkward age still? I mean, compared it where I’m at now IMO. So it’s weird to think that that’s what society considers to be “peak” attractiveness
Same, only 24 working in a restaurant, but it infuriates me seeing 40 - 50 year old restaurant managers flirting with the 18-year-old servers who are still in high school. Disgusts, more accurately.
They perved WAY too much over her and her co-star in stranger things. I remember seeing some female talk show hosts saying the kind of things that would get a guy cancelled. The actress from harry potter got it pretty bad too, if I remember right.
At some point can we all agree that sexualizing child actors is wrong, write a memo to that affect and send it to the media. Then just burn anyone who tries.
