what drives people to say stuff like this

>>150124242I agree because 13 and 15 really isn't a big gap. I think if she was 17 or 18 they could've made that summer the last summer before she went off to college and that'd give her character a little bit more substance. As it stands there's no reason why Dipper and Wendy shouldn't have been together and I'm pretty sure they get together after the show once they're older. I mean she never says she isn't interested in him, just that he's "too young" (for some reason). She even says she would want to kill herself if it wasn't for him
>>150124276The problem isn't Wendy's age and portrayal, for 15 it's fine. It's that Dipper is treated more like he's maybe 9 and he looks even younger. Which is funny because his voice doesn't reflect that. A 12 year old male is typically in puberty and isn't THAT much shorter than a 14-15 year old girl.
>>150124242They should have made her more relevant, because you know, it's funny how the show tries to make it seem like Wendy is a main character.
>>150124332It's just the art style and Wendy being freakishly tall. >>150124393Alex deliberately refused to give her any development because they wanted her to be the ideal waifu (if Alex's case, she's supposed to be Lauren Faust) and giving her an actual personality would shatter that illusion.
>>150124429Not sure who made all these cuts ("Hirsch scrapped" the last one according to this article), but this shows more was planned for her than was made, unfortunately.
>>150124429There was this image of a tweet from Alex and Lauren mentioning that she was a very tall girl. I never figured out if it was real or not.
>>150124242
>>150124332>A 12 year old male is typically in puberty and isn't THAT much shorter than a 14-15 year old girlI think the height difference was meant more to portray a symbolic gap between them. The difference between ages 22 and 25 is not much. The difference between ages 13 and 15 is pretty big despite being the same number of years. They're close enough that they could occasionally hang out and be friendly (especially since they work together), but a romantic relationship between people of that age is less likely. It's not impossible, but the gap is still big enough that most 15 year olds don't want to date 13 year olds.
>>150124429>and Wendy being freakishly tallWendy's friends are also a lot taller than Dipper. She IS tall due to lumberjack genes, but the height gap beween the other 15 year olds and the twins is still significant. >if Alex's case, she's supposed to be Lauren FaustI still don't buy this. The post that everyone refers to is Lauren teasing Alex that cryptic comments will lead to wild speculation, then makes a cryptic comment that lead to wild speculation. It's possible the character was actually based on her, but I think it's just as possible that she was trolling.

>>150124242What drives you to give so much of a shit about random twitter users that you make threads about them?
>>150127337Because these people have outsized influence and are going to ruin your hobby even further
>>150126763>but the gap is still big enough that most 15 year olds don't want to date 13 year olds.This generally isn't true if the guy is older. Girls like older guys at that age and the maturity difference is kinda neglible for dating, at 2 years.
>>150124242They don't even fucking date what the fuck are these retards talking about
>>15012424213/15 is not a big age gap. not at all. a high school freshman dating a junior is not weird. they made it seem like he was a 10 year old crushing on a college student, though.
>>150127407I didn't know a lot of 15 year old guys going after 13 year old girls when I was growing up, but that's just anecdotal. And the few who did tended to be kind of skeavy and were teased for it. It was usually some guy with a crustache who lived in a trailer park and was really into nu-metal.
>>150124242What would that even meaningfully change?
>>150129719It would make the >DIPPER IS TOO LE YOUNG, IT'S CREEPY!!! Argument look less retarded. I mean, remember how they had to pull a "reversal" by showing Wendy a literal toddler to make it look creepy even though they only had a 2 year difference?
>>150129752>DIPPER IS TOO LE YOUNG, IT'S CREEPY!!!That was always retarded anyway.The issue is that Wendy being a mid teen has a completely different life to an early teen, just like a late teen has a completely different life to a mid teen.They're completely different people in completely different stages of their life, and no fucking 15 year old would date a just turned 13 year old, especially not one who's only in town for a summer.At was always never gonna work out, at least until they're both older and more in control of their own lives.>>150127768Dipper and Mabel hadn't even entered high school yet.
>>150124242I've never heard of younger boys dating older girls while I was around that age, much more often it was the other way around. So Wendy rejecting him seemed like a given, the age angle is stupid though, yet everyone wants to look at these kinds of things through some armchair psychology lens. Either they find each other attractive or they don't, that's basically what matters at that age, and is still important after that. That said, maybe they should've made her older anyways, it'd drive the point home better, I don't think her age being that close helps in anything.
>>150124242>SHE WAS 2 YEARS 11 MONTHS 20 DAYS 12 HOURS 14 MINUTES AND 59 SECONDS DIFFERENCE YOU SICK FUCKSI hate age gap moralfagging cucks with a burning passion
>>150129752Dipper was believably too young already. You're mad at something that isn't really in the text of the show.
>>150124332Maybe it's both, the fact that Dipper looks younger than he should be, and Wendy is treated older than she actually is.
>>150124242>Muh Age GapThey're old hags past their prime & they know they can't compete against younger girls. That's the real reason.
>>150124242These people would go into cardiac arrest if they saw somebody in a cartoon trip over and get a booboo on their knee.
>>150124242Wendy and Dipper look 17 and 10, not 15 and 12.
>>150124242The great thing about catty and feminine creators like Alex Hirsch is that they attract a catty and feminine audience that is just like them and they always get cannabalized by it because being catty and feminine are fucking shit ass personality traits to have lol.Moral grandstanding faggots attract other moral grandstanding faggots and it takes no time at all for them to start killing each other because... well... they're moral grandstanding faggots.
>>150124429>Alex deliberately refused to give her any development because they wanted her to be the ideal waifu (if Alex's case, she's supposed to be Lauren Faust) and giving her an actual personality would shatter that illusion.That's fucking retarded.
>>150131371So fucking true
>>150129962Anon, there are plenty of 15 year old and 13 year old couples. Especially if the guy is older. It does not matter that much unless you are terminally online. When I was 15, I had a crush on a 13 year old girl. When I was 13, I was friends with 11 and 15 year olds. It is really not that big of a deal.
Dipper and Timmy fags infesting the board again still clinging onto their crush not accepting their feelings.
>>150134378People forget that on average girls go through puberty a good 2-3 years before boys. It isn't helped by cartoons like Molly McGee where Molly is 13, but looks 9 and hasn't even gotten her first period.15 yo. boys will be interested in 13 yo. girls, but 15 yo. girls interested in 13 yo. boys is not normal. 13 years old is just around the time boys start noticing puberty. Girls who've already gone through puberty wouldn't be interested on the kid who just got his first pube unless they are potential pedos.

>>150136225Then what's the excuse for this?
>>150129752>It would make the >DIPPER IS TOO LE YOUNG, IT'S CREEPY!!! >Argument look less retarded.By making the age gap between him and Wendy bigger? Wut? I thought age gaps were "problematic", the OP pic is talking about INCREASING it by two years.
>>150124276>or 18 they could've made that summer the last summer before she went off to college and that'd give her character a little bit more substanceIt’s not like dipper lives in this town
>>150139301Yes anon, that's the point. The issue with Wendy and Dipper is that they act like there's a gigantic age gap between them when they're literally only two years apart, which is literally nothing.
>>150139301What are you whining about?
i think dipper being 12 going on 13 makes some sense because it gives dipper more angst in being treated like a kid by Wendy when they are so close in ageHowever, that sorta gives you the implication that dipper does have a chance if he could just prove himself, and not that there’s zero chance and he’s a delusional little kid with a crushI guess it depends what the writer was going for. A little kid with a crush with a girl he has no shot with, or a boy who’s gonna eventually get the girl as he grows up into a man What does mud things up is just how mature Wendy is portrayed for her age. Wendy herself is portrayed as a burnt out wagie who’s been working a shitty job for to long, and not the someone doing their first summer job. They never really treat her and her friends as 15 year olds, they are more written as college students
>>150139301The people wanting the age gap be bigger aren’t thinking as if dipper will ever have a shot with WendyThey are thinking more as if its a little kid with a crush on an older woman like Mac and Frankie
>>150139243There's none. I fucking hate Kataang.
>>150139403IIRC, when Soos is trying to get a date, even Grunkle Stan asks Wendy if she would go out with him. It's like the writers forgot that she was a minor.
>>150139573I hate it too, such a projection from one of the creators doing Katara dirty like they did.
>>150139403>What does mud things up is just how mature Wendy is portrayed for her age. Wendy herself is portrayed as a burnt out wagie who’s been working a shitty job for to long, and not the someone doing their first summer job.How do you expect a teenager working some deadend job to act? Pretty much any depiction of teenagers working a retail job has them unexcited and bored.
