It’s an interesting point. an uncomfortable point. You might develop a “screen crush” on a character who is age appropriate or even perhaps “too old” for you when you are in your pre teens or teens- but you age and most characters do not. That statue or body pillow whatever may have been relatively ok when you were 15 or 12 or whenever, but what happens if you have it at 20,30? So Leonardo DiCaprio was a big heart throb for many teen girls. And an adult Leo has maintained a following. It might be slightly odd to some for a 30 year old woman to have a DiCaprio poster in their bedroom, but what if she has a 17 year old DiCaprio poster? What if it is the same poster she had when she was 13 or whatever? Is it “ok” to look at pictures of your spouse from high school and find them attractive? Mmmm… I think there are a lot of case by case things and caveats in making a call- distinctions like how a heterosexual might recognize the attractiveness of a same sex person but not feel an attraction

but I won’t write 90 pages on the issue. I’ll say it certainly gets a little icky or problematic when we start looking too closely at some things. My PERSONAL philosophy is leaving the past in the past. That isn’t me judging anyone, but for myself, cartoon character or whatever- the same way there are other things that were ok at a different age and aren’t now, the same way that other tastes have changed over time etc, memories are memories.
