Isn’t Ariel 16 in the movie?
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.
Honestly, go back in time a bit and this was pretty darn normal.
Current time they still marry preteens in Muslim religions as long as she had her period
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
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.
Romeo and Juliet were 13 though.
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Who were the folks in a dark room saying, ‘Listen boys: we’re here to uphold outdated gender norms.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?’
Conspiracy by big old
This got a chuckle outta me.
But it do be true that Big Old runs the world.
“I love those 25 year olds. I get older, they stay the same age.”
wat?
Leo dumps girls as soon as they turn 26. It’s a thing. It’s weird. So, we make fun of it.
Would it be weirder if he only dated women after they were 62? 🤔
Considering his age it would now be much more acceptable

He’s 50. Definitely.
Yes, assuming he started the trend at the same age.
Leo is Leo. He can do what others wish they could do.
It is a lot weirder to obsess over the dating habits of consensual adults.
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.
My friend you should watch the Little Mermaid
Sounds to me like you need to find some hobbies.
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.
Of we didn’t make memes of common public knowledge we wouldn’t have memes
We’re scrolling through posts on a link aggregate platform. Get a fucking grip.
That’s just par for the course when you are a big name super famous celebrity imo
They did it for the meme
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.
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.
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.
Didn’t she let him die in the ocean though?
c/outOfTheLoop
Did he break up with someone recently?
Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/10wt86h/leonardo_dicaprio_still_refuses_to_date_a_woman/ (sorry for Reddit link)
He has an agreement with every girl he dates that they will break up when the girl turns 26.
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.
What is wrong with this guy? I mean, does he think, he is so super special or does he really think, all woman are so controlled by their hormones, that they cannot stop themselves from having a family with kids?
I think it’s probably more the former. He’s wealthy and has spent his life being absurdly attractive, I figure he is able to rotate through young beautiful impressionable companions, so he does.
Hey now, that’s last year’s DiCaprio. His current girlfriend is 26!
She’d better watch out
HAHA LEO DATE YOUNG CHICK AGAIN
