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

      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.

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

          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

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

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

            Considering the whole thing is a meme, I’d say a number of people are weirdly focused on it.

            For example: someone took the time to draw, color, and write a comic about leo’s dating habits. That’s pretty strange imo.

                If your hobby is tracking a star’s consensual dating habits, I’d argue you need different hobbies.

                  Well, I was referring to the act of making the meme but, as a general rule, I don’t judge people’s hobbies unless they hurt someone. Anyway, you’re clearly a lot of fun to be around so I’m going to go ahead and let you get back to yelling at clouds.

          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.

              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.

          But muh age math-rule that totally makes sense and must be imposed to everyone!1?1!??1!?1!

          I agree with you, if they are consenting adults, everyone else is the weirdo for obsessing about it and they need a life.
