This is grim, but those of us born in the 80s will remember how absolutely obsessed the media was with Britney Spears becoming "legal" and reporting on her virginity every chance they got.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I think that was still very much a thing at least a decade after Britney became legal.

Gif reminder that Daenerys is 13 at the start of GoT. But ofc the actress was 24 in s1 so not really anything controversial.

I can't say for sure that actresses ages were tracked as much but I remember like sites showing countdowns to when Emma Watson became of legal age. I'm the same age roughly so it wasn't weird for me but it was weird that people did it.

And still do.

They did age up all the ASOIAF characters for the show, so the show insisting that we all ogle Daenerys didn't really have much to do with pedophilia. It was just regular old gross ass Hollywood misogyny.
