Rewatching - the Pete Wentz/Peyton thing & Rachel/Coop thing

Rewatching season 3 at the moment. Oh for context, I love Fall Out Boy. They're one of my favourite bands lol.

But this storyline is very weird. And was weird at the time but aged even more poorly. I'm in my 30s and the last decade-ish has been finding out that so many people in the bands I liked as a teenager were 25-35 year olds having sex with teenagers.

Anyway, it was presented as pretty cute and nobody had an issue with it. Even her dad just gave the speech about how she needs to like someone for who they are, not what they do and not like "He's 30, you're 17. No."

But then like an episode later, Coop is hooking up with Rachel and that's presented straight away as wrong. Coop was 30. Pete would've been 28 at the time. Same, same, gross with a high schooler.

Just a weird double standard!

Also sorry Pete but you're acting sucks in any of the guest roles like this you do lol. He can't TV act.
