There's really no reason not to do it tbh.

For real, like I'd rather see 20+ year olds on Riverdale doing all the dumb shit that show does, than a bunch of 15-17 year olds who are too young to be naked/semi naked on tv. We all know teens don't look like those young adults, but they are at least legal to do what they are doing and CHOOSING to do

but that's part of the point - these adult actors sexualizing teens in a way you would never get away with using actual teen actors. Why can't these characters just be in their 20s?

You are not one of those people, sir.

He looked WAY older than the rest of the cast.

when his grown looking ass came on the show, I thought he was a teacher going undercover as a student or something. like there was no way my mind was accepting of him just being a student

as a long time CW watcher i don't really mind, but seeing shows with actual teens is always pretty jarring

the Babysitter Club girls all looked like babies to me
