    And no, no rational person just “gets over” someone drunk driving. Drunk driving is a very serious issue. It’s like expecting them to “get over” him attacking people with a knife.

    He didn’t kill anyone while, yeah, drinking and driving is bad. Like I said, in this scenario, it happened fucking 6 months or two years ago; it’s in the past. There is no need to bring it back up, and no, attacking an innocent person with a knife is obviously worse than drunk driving.

    I find it very concerning that you think they should be more concerned with who a grown adult dates than with him committing a serious crime. You said yourself, they don’t have a right to forbid a 21 year old from making his own decisions, that includes who he dates.

    I don’t think any parent has the right to control their 21-year-old kid. It’s ridiculous that Gemini portrays Clark and Lois as overreacting to Jon being a superhero and lying about it—especially since Clark hid his own identity for 14 years. Then it says they’d “forbid” Jon from being a hero, but they’re fine with him dating women 10–20 years older. So basically, “You can date whoever you want, but you can’t save lives”? That makes zero sense.

    Thanks but he obviously can’t be a teenager if the main character is 15 and their friends are in their 20s, and their love interests are adult women in their 20s or 30s, then the entire “justice” and “hero” theme gets severely crushed.

    No one is going to care that the older woman died; if she’s 31 and dating a 15-year-old, most people will think she deserved it, and the whole “protect the innocent” and “punish the guilty” idea collapses when the protagonist is a victim of grooming. Their two closest friends, who are 25, look bad too. They’re supposed to be “best friends,” practically family, but they’re okay with this kid being exploited by adults. That makes them look like accessories.

    And while it does happen in real life, it’s still hard to believe that a 15-year-old would date a 30-something and not get caught. None of the adults around them say anything? No one reports it? At least if the protagonist were 18 or 19, they’d be legally an adult, and there wouldn’t be much anyone could do. But at 15, there’s a moral and legal obligation to step in.

    Also, if this kid wants to protect women and children, that belief gets contradicted if they’re constantly being groomed with no one protecting them.

    If the protagonist is 21 instead, everything clicks into place. They’re an adult, able to consent, and responsible for their choices. That’s why people don’t question similar age-gap relationships in other stories—because both parties are adults. The older partner might raise eyebrows, but it’s not immoral or criminal. It’s simply a relationship between consenting adults.

    If the character is written as 15 while every partner is in their 20s, 30s or 40s the audience’s moral sympathy shifts immediately. Instead of seeing them as a driven vigilante fighting for justice, they become a victim of repeated grooming, which completely changes the story’s emotional core. Every relationship turns into an ethical red flag, and every adult around them looks negligent or complicit. Even if the intent is to make trauma part of their origin, it undercuts the “justice” theme because the abuse overshadows their heroism.

    From a realism standpoint, it also breaks believability. A 15-year-old involved with multiple adults wouldn’t just slip under the radar—someone would notice, report it, or intervene. So unless the story is explicitly about systemic corruption or institutional failure, it just doesn’t hold up.
