Some of you have clearly never been in college, because the way some of you talk about “college-aged” people sounds like you’re still living in the olden days. Who cares if the actors are in their early, mid, or late twenties? You keep repeating, “They’re not college-aged,” as if college now only belongs to 18-year-olds. People start college at 24 and are still there at 28. Some people start at 28. Some take gap years, switch careers, do postgrad degrees, or simply have different life paths. College-aged is no longer one specific age.

And the way some of you act, you’d complain no matter what. If the actors looked younger, you’d complain. Now that they’re older, you’re still complaining. What exactly do you want? Nothing is ever good enough.

And if they had cast 50-year-olds, you would’ve complained about that too. So either watch the show or don’t, but the constant whining is getting exhausting. Truly exhausting.

I remember clearly when the casting dropped. People whined because Hannah was nineteen and the male actor was almost thirty. Now they sweat and panic over the physical scenes she deliberately chose to film.

Do they forget she is a grown adult turning twenty? She read the heavy script, gripped the pen, and signed the firm contract herself. It is a professional job at the end.

Weak critics love to infantilize women and make the space weird. If the studio cast an older woman, this exact crowd would cry. They cast Ella, people blindly complain, and they should shut up.

Do you know what’s weird to me? How some Americans created this whole stigma around Snapchat. Like, they genuinely act like if you’re out of high school and still using Snapchat to communicate with people, then you must be creepy, selling drugs, or trying to contact children. And I honestly don’t get it because Snapchat is literally just a communication app and a social media platform. In so many countries around the world Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Australia, and more people of all ages still use Snapchat normally to talk to friends and stay connected. Nobody thinks twice about it. That’s why it’s strange to see people online turn an innocent app into something automatically viewed as weird or disgusting just because smn uses it. It’s an app. It’s social media. It’s for everyone to use. Please stop twisting a normal communication platform into something gross for no reason.
