Dipper and Elsa watch Sleeping Beauty

Description

Of course it's ironic that it comes from Dipper & Elsa since I ship these two in my series but I want to point out something that I have a issue with ever since the WendyXDipper ship sank and this is not something against Sleeping Beauty as I love Sleeping Beauty since it was the first Disney Princess movie I ever saw. Why is the age gap a problem when guys end up with much older girls both in the real world and the fictional world?

   If a guy is put with a much older girl is often play for comedy (Friends, Family Guy, Two and a half men) yet girls are portray as getting with much older guys and no one points it out. It's call May-December romance and it's already it's own clique trope tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php… I'm sure Jelsa is soon going to be under the fan fiction section.

Forget the two year difference with Wendy & Dipper , Young GirlXOlder man couples in other series go as far as a decade in age difference. And while I don' want to go there I will go there since it's a big trend ... Twilight and Jelsa. Edward Cullen is decades apart from whateverhername is and Jelsa .. Jesus.. Elsa is downgraded to a mere child as Jack is centuries older than her. C'mon really ?! Elsa dating a centuries old inhuman unholy ghost that interacted with her when she was a child and is now having a intimate relationship him is okay and not at all creepy yet Dipper loving Wendy who is only 2 years older than him is Creepy to the fans ??!!  F*&%^^ YOU !!!

   I get it if Dipper was too young to handle a serious relationship with Wendy since he's still a kid and it would be too much for him but when it's call creepy by the fans who like to put Elsa in steamy situations with Jack Frost who should be a ancient fossil and it's not even human just grinds my gears. Why the double standard ??

        A typical excuse is that Girls want someone mature and someone responsible. But in fictional work especially in fantasy ones I see no sense in it.

My belief is that wherever we are aware of it or not we like to see our female characters, even the strong female role models (Elsa from Frozen) with someone who can protect them. No matter if that girl can take care of herself she must be with someone who's as strong as her if not more so than her. Elsa can take care of herself and does not need her special other to be strong for her nor does she need a man at all yet we don't trust Elsa to be alone because she's still a woman and therefore weak. Now Jack might be young looking but yet again he's centuries older than her just like Edward from Twilight and for most people years (or immortality) equals maturity. Therefore Jack Frost and Eward are mature adults. They don't convince me since both of them act like irresponsible teenagers. One continues to be in High School even duo he's a vampire and has no need for it while Jack was a pathetic whiner because he was not popular.

         That aside , So many people have pointed out that Dipper being call a creep was a bit harsh and for me it really ruin the perfect ending the WendyXDipper ship had in "Into The bunker". After getting us invested in Dipper's adorable crush for Wendy for episodes you are going to call us sick for getting attach to that idea ?? Just no. And what about Robbie ? How old is he ? For that matter what about the people Mabel crush on ? I don't care what the Gravity Falls Wiki says , Gabe and Mermando are way older than Mabel and we are only being trick because they are drawn shorter. And most of the fandom seems to move to Dipper & Candy , Candy being more shorter than Dipper and therefore can be protected by him. The only other pairing where this is not the case is with Pacifica but that's not in the horizon.

I'm fine with the decision but please no more romance stories Disney , especially if the next Disney Princess falls inlove with a guy two years older than her (looking at you Tangled !!) and stop calling Dipper a creep.

Thank you !


Sorry for the rant but GOD, I'm tired of people calling Dipper a creep for having a crush for a girl for three-two years older girl. Like if it was a serious issue, not having the same freaking age as the person we love. Like it's hopeless to have any serious relationship in this situation, even though the two persons in question are both over the age of legal majority. Go tell that to a guy whose father was 11 years older than the mother !

Besides, it's pretty insulting from the show to make us shame for getting attach to Dipper's crush after getting us invested in it, as you said. An it's killing me to lash myself out at at show i genuinely liked.


Anyway, I get the idea that Dipper may be two young for a serious relationship, but in that case, if the true issue is simply being too young, then he should not have this kind of relation with any character of the show ! Not even with those who have the same age as him, for God's sake ! Not before he is mature enough to have one, at least.


Anyhow, whatever there is between Dipper and Wendy, it can't be more creepy than having a crush on someone who can be their offspring — and ACTUAL pedophilia, by the way —, or with their own relatives, like a silbling — i'm looking at you, DipMabel shippers ! — or even a relation with a hundreds or thousands-year old (and sometimes inhuman) being — looking at you, BillDip and MaBill shippers ! And it's also still more sane and sincere than someone having several but short-lived crushes — looking at you Mabel !
