I’m with @ZODIAC_MF that there are more immediately and genuinely traumatizing things out there, but the scenario presented in the video below made me laugh out loud. So there’s that.

Those Michael Bay Transformers movies sure were a series of things that existed and had a certain quality to them.
.
Not a good quality. But a quality.
Socially acceptable rule of thumb for minimum relationship age is half your age, plus seven.
So a 20 year old can date a 17 year old, but just barely.
The glitch is that the government places a bright line of not adult/adult at eighteen, where you magically transform from child to adult on a given midnight, and that lots of people reflexively bow to that authority.
Which makes the issue one of âI have a valid objection to my childâs choicesâ, when he legally wonât in under a year. (Despite the fact that 18 year olds continue to make lots of stupid choices,)
You could legitimately make a completing movie on the inherent conflicts and trade-offs.
But it wouldnât be a Michael Bay movie.
And this inclusion is gratuitous.
Showing characterization through bickering is generally lazy and stupid. (At a guess, this was inspired by the beginning of âArmageddonâ, which did a great job of establishing characters with a similar setup. Without understanding why it worked.)
‘Gratuitous’ is the right word. My wife’s first response to all of this was, “Can a twenty year old even *be* a bartender?” Which apparently he can in Texas, but not really where we live, or other places.
