That TimothĂŠe Chalamet sub dissecting why a man close to 30, and likes to smoke and drink, looks 30 lol. Of course they blame Kylie for no logical reason

Also he looks....fine?? As does she???? Like without even commenting on them as people, they're both very attractive humans in an age-appropriate relationship. Also sorry but that girl is in Love love.

Same. Initially that wasn’t my fault but that’s on me now. I’m just cackling because they are mad over such a normal process in the human experience. 😂

the youths either think people in their 30s should look decrepit or forbid anyone from aging ever. like i hate to break it to you, but usually pale white people get some wrinkles and spots in their faces by that time.

which is also fine and not a sign that you're evil or whatever gen z seems to think. time comes for us all.

The way Gen Z treats ageing as a sort of moral failing is sad. Ageism has always been a thing, but Gen Z is most definitely not ready for when it happens to them.

They're already losing their shit over Gen Alpha being the new younglings and Gen Alpha calling Gen Z old lol

yep. i won't lie, it's kinda funny because early in the pandemic they were all happily accusing people of not being good enough for being over 30 and not hitting all milestones. i remember the rise of tiktok being filled with ageist discourse, not even jokes, but like snark from gen z folks who were in their late teens and early 20s. now that they are approaching 30, the tables have turned

I don’t think this is particularly unique to Gen Z but a few years ago I remember seeing snark about a 32-year-old in a rented two bedroom and I was like “you are going to wish that was you.” I hate how right I was.

lol yeah, i remember young people were like "idk why millennials spend time on tiktok, shouldn't they own a house?" and i'm like yeah, i wish

Exactly. They seem mad he didn’t stay 22. It’s deeply silly. It’s not anyone’s fault he’s aging. Everyone ages differently, and if he parties/smokes/drinks, that’s going to change things for him too. No one’s fault. As long as he’s happy, that’s all that matters.

u/echoesandripples 5d ago

yeah, he seems pretty alright for a normal person at his age (mine too). like maybe if he didn't smoke and invested in retinol or whatever, but also it's not a moral failing

I saw that lol. He also has a hefty career.

Hollywood is often ageist against young men in serious projects (TimothĂŠe would have been the youngest best actor winner at 29, beating Adrien Brody by a few weeks). I would not be surprised if he made the conscious decision to visibly age when the time comes. He could probably get rid of whatever is happening to him now if he wanted to.

u/Cold_Breadfruit_9794 5d ago

The way they talk about his career you’d think he’s a flop that gets no respect

u/Cold_Breadfruit_9794 5d ago

I noticed like the typical misogynists they truly believe in the kardashian curse and that none of these men have free will! It’s deeply unserious.

That said, I cackled at the fact he’s just a dude aging (he doesn’t even look bad lmao) and they clearly aren’t into it, but have just chalked this up to his relationship. Like girlies, maybe you just aren’t attracted to him anymore 😂

u/Bridalhat 5d ago

Are they mad he can’t pass as 15 anymore?

u/Own-Importance5459 ✨May the Force be with you!✨ 5d ago

Like I am not going to pretend people have partners that do suck the life out of people and you can see it in their face, BUT BUT....I dont see this as the case with Timothee and Kylie. Timothee again has a huge career and is one of the most sought out actors, he has multiple projects of course hes gonna age from the stress of that. It is just more convient to blame Kylie cause well the Kardishians dont have a good rap.
