Film 'Licorice Pizza' features a “romantic” relationship between 25 year old woman and 15 year old boy. But the only controversy is a white man doing an Asian accent.

Licorice Pizza, which centers on high school freshman Gary Valentine (Cooper Hoffman) and his magnetic, mostly platonic friendship with wayward 25-year-old Alana Kane (Alana Haim)

I haven't seen the movie, so someone will have to explain what "mostly platonic" means. It doesn't sound like words you'd use to describe a relationship between an adult man and a teenage girl

Hey man…women can’t be seen as molesters.. they can only be seen as mothers and soft and comforting and teachers.. they brand all the negative things on men 🤦🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️ # How can we change it though 🤔🤔🤔🤔

From the article:

For example, in the universe of Licorice Pizza, no one thinks it very strange for a grown adult and a young teen to be hanging out together (another plot choice that has prompted debate in the discussion over the film).

So they acknowledge the age issue in the article you posted. Fake outrage bullshit. This article was from March too.

It was a crush. … This movie is so well-done. … I never heard of the controversy. It’s set in the 70’s. … Today’s sensitivities didn’t exist then. …

According to the FBI, Pizza is a code word pedophiles use to let other pedos know they are into child rape. This movie is an attempt to normalize pedophilia.

The guy is acting as a 70's racist asshole. Keyword... "Acting".
