Dacre Montgomery is 24 years old in real life, but his character Billy is 18 on the Netflix series. Which begs the question: Should his character be sexualized by older women, as shown in the new Stranger Things trailer (https://twitter.com/Stranger_Things/status/1130536437164777472)? "The moms obsessing over him are all much older," says Kate Gardner. "If we raise a fuss about eighteen year old girls being ogled by older men, then it stands to reason that we shouldn’t really be thrilled that a younger guy is being objectified by older women. It’s not a good look period, regardless of the teenage character’s gender."
