uh... it was just a jokey way to acknowledge that this actor whom a lot of people have grown up alongside and fancied (and called a daddy) has officially entered a new phase of his life. we all gettin older.
(...and yeah while pretty much no one is calling anyone "daddy", "dilf" or "sugar daddy" based on whether their sperm has entered an ovum, it's disingenuous to say those names are disconnected from actual literal fatherhood, even in a gay slang context. of course you don't have to be a dad to be a daddy, or any particular age. but while it carries the positive connotations of that social role (older, mature, caring, patriarchal), it can also be related to being a literal parent, like a milf. virility, fertility, breeding, that kinda shit. why can't it be both? or either?
Dan's sperm works, and i'm sure some fucker out there finds that hot. inseminating another person to create new life is a pretty virile, powerful human act (just like bearing a kid is a powerful as fuck thing for a mother to do) -- so why wouldn't some of our monkey brains find that hot? there's nothing inherently creepy about that outside your own mind. i don't think we have to be allergic to the context of sex's biological reproductive purpose just cause we're queer and celebrate sex mainly for pleasure. it's where we came from.
doesn't mean you have to find your own dad hot. although maybe your mate's dad?)
tl;dr silencio
