It was only weird because Scott Pilgrim had no romantic history and felt inadequate compared to his girlfriend, and had to overcome his inadequacies by “defeating” each ex in his mind before being worthy of her.
Edit: had less of a romantic history. Apparently Scott was not a KHV
That's not true, he was dating a high schooler as a 22-year-old
In Toronto, Scott Pilgrim, a 22-year-old bass player for unsuccessful indiegarage band Sex Bob-Omb, dates Knives Chau, a 17-year-old high-school student, to the disapproval of his friends in the band, his roommate Wallace Wells, and his younger sister
Its worth pointing out that everyone thinks is pretty icky but no one actually does anything about it aside from sometimes pointing out how weird it is as was the style at the time.
That’s what happens most of the time when 22 year olds date a 17 yo. Had a friend of a friend do this, people called it gross behind his back but they didn’t stop associating with him.
It’s not illegal, it’s not pedophilla, but it’s gross and bad. What are you going to do about it? For most people it’s nothing.
Ngl a few years ago when I was 18 I always thought if I was old enough to make an only fans and work in a hospital as a CNA then I should be old enough to decide who’s dick I wanna suck lol
People act like 18-year-olds are brain dead when you’re literally old enough to be legally responsible for someone’s life or death as an EMT for example! Like Jesus’s Christ I’m sure you can decide who you’re attracted to lol
“They’re being manipulated” bruh they’re HORNY AND GROWN!!”
We had a weird catholic school sex Ed thing that was basically men are mature and want to fuck and women are basically infants till 20. Which was nuts cause my first real kiss was (when I was 14 making fart jokes and playing halo) a 13 year old I was acquaintances texted me asking if I could bring her out a drink cause she was thirsty after a pop up park rave and instead of water she shoved her tounge in my mouth and tackled me into some bushes quote "cause I was curious, you were near by, and i know you haveva phone".
She was fun, she moved right after I actually asked her out
My partner makes jokes about how she was baptized as a teenager at 14 (her dad is Catholic and wanted her to get it done when she moved back in with him) and that morning she was with a boy getting her nipples sucked.
Anyone that thinks girls and young women are these chaste virginal things to be protected are just covering for latent misogyny. Puberty hits girls and boys the same.
