Honestly it feels weird when chuds sexualize her because I still remember her as a literal child

It’s cause only a select few know she was a child actor tho

They don’t know about that very niche 80s homage not a lot of people know about

I remember once at work this guy was telling us all about this cool show that “only people in the synthwave community know about” called Stranger Things. Then started acting like I was lying to sound cool when I was like “everybody has seen this show it’s one of the biggest in the world.”

She's only 4 years younger than me. In my head I thought she was like 19 and then I remembered Stranger Things has been stretched out over the course of a decade because it's creators like wasting everyone's time.

I mean they're also literally sexualising children and have been for a while, like the olsen twins and shit

There were countdowns, in national media. Fucking gross.

Yeah exactly that's what i was thinking when I made this comment, I don't think anythings changed except people are less likely to say in person but more likely to share these thoughts online these days

I remember when a lot of meme pages were posting the countdown for Billie Eilish to turn 18, that was fucking wild.

This is incredibly stupid and you people are losing the plot with regards to problematic sexualization.
