Unwittingly had ‘sex’ with a child, realised it was a child, had ‘sex’ a second time.
And wrote a song about it. And then wrote it into his autobiography.
How this man apparently skated through the #MeToo movement unscathed is truly baffling.
Yeah, right, I’m defendimg pedophilia? I’m not MAGA.
The make-up thing is weird. Brooke Shields was VERY controversial in the late 70s for appearing sexualized TV commercials, wearing make-up, and tight clothes that were highlighted by camera work that luxuriated over her body, and even appearing naked on camera, when she was only about 12 or 13. It was a big subject of discussion.
I’m not the one who was sexualizing teens back in the 70s and 80s, I was just pointing out that at the time, EVERYBODY knew it was going on, including the cops in every city that every band ever stopped on tour, and NOBODY did anything about it, ever. They still don’t. You don’t think there are still young groupies sneaking backstage today?
Half of anime sexualizes underage girls. Half of advertising too. Lots of cognitive dissonance in our culture. But nobody ever accused the angry masses of being logically consistent.
Dude you are still doing it, he raped a girl, a 14 year is not old enough to consent, its rape.
Of course he did. I’m not disputing that, I’m just saying that it was so prevalent that literally EVERYBODY knew about that entire issue at the time, and generally chose to do next to nothing about it. Just objectively stating a fact, not endorsing the rock star lifestyle.
