DP. High school girls dating college guys is different than a college man dating a girl in middle school. People would've been disturbed by that scenario in the 70s, 80s, 90s, and beyond. And recalling tales from your adolescence in SE Kentucky doesn't change that. |
If you read what post you were responding to, you would see the thread was discussing high school not middle school |
And I am asking you why you think it’s relevant to people who would have been in high school in the mid-90s to early 2000s. |
You're right. The discussion was originally about a middle school girl with a 19 yo man, a 6-year age gap. Then someone posted the non sequitur-- "That age spread was not uncommon during high school in the 80s." Followed by another story of HSers dating. Let's get back to the creepy predatory Ashton Kutcher/Danny Masterson/Mila Kunis mess. |

This wasn’t at school though or college guys cruising a middle school. They were working together. When you are colleagues working together - doing the same tasks, age isn’t all that relevant and isn’t as noticeable. Especially as these guys were clearly quite immature. Mila may have been quite mature given she was working at her age. I don’t think she differences would have stood out glaringly in set. |
Also, a 14 year old girl would be in high school - a freshman. |
Not sure why people are picking on Ashton Kutcher for his on screen girlfriend in a 1990s show being younger than him. It was all casting.
Jared Leto was like 20 something to Claire Danes 14 on my so called life. Shane west was about 23 to Mandy Moore’s 16 on the set of a walk to remember. In fact, Mandy Moore and Shane west were rumored to have hooked up offscreen, and they are still friends many years later. Mila kunis and Ashton kutchers age gap is hardly unusual and had nothing to do with him personally. I don’t get what people are looking for on this thread. |
What about when Almonzo kissed Laura in Little House on the Prairie? He was an actual man, in his mid 20s, and she was 15! The kiss was pretty chaste, and the age spread was very close to the real life people they were portraying, but it was still scandalous. |
Are you dense? No one is talking about casting. They are upset because Kutcher made a bet with his sicko friend Danny Masterson that he could French kiss a 14 year old while on set. Completely inappropriate and unprofessional. |
Ok. I’m sure you never made any jokes or comments in your youth that you’d regret today. It’s a kiss, that’s it. Danny masterson is a criminal, Ashton Kutcher was an idiot teen in a different time. |
Yes I went to college at the same time, and young men/boys got away with awful behavior then. Ashton became super popular during this era, and he was the epitome of a good looking white dude who became famous for being a not that funny d-bag ass hole. Like others have said he has tried to rehabilitate his image but the whole Danny Masterson thing has basically cancelled him. He reminds me of Justin Timberlake in a lot of ways, but even less talented. |
+1 We're not talking characters on a show. And even in the case of actors, this wasn't the case of an "old soul" 14 year old developing a relationship over the years with a work companion. This is two guys, 19 and 21(!) years old, placing bets about how far the envelope can be pushed sexually with an underage actress. |
Oy vey, how much are you paid to post this deflection crap? Mila is that you? |
