The classic "He didn't do it, but if he did it was ok" move.

We've moved from "it never happened " to "it's not that bad"

I think people back in those days still thought it was creepy. I'd put my lifesaving on that.

I mean, can you imagine having to pull a straight face when Mr. Jones, the 60-year-old barber-cum-snake oil salesman presents you his fresh 12-year-old bride?!

Or those Princes who married 6-7-year-olds, ffs! I mean, that's just fucked up, in so many ways besides the mere ""social contract"" bit...

Back in the 1950s, singer Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13 year old cousin. The media did not keep a straight face. It was technically legal but still trashed his reputation for decades.

As it damned well should, at the very least! Holy Jesus!

This is what I like to call the "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" Generation. Or pick any number of 70s and 80s movies where teen sex was depicted on camera. Or choose any pop rock hair metal band from that time period where they literally wrote songs about having sex with teenage girls. That's who's sadly defending this bullshit.

fascism is a hell of a thing.

I assumed this was bullshit but she actually said it. Her account’s been suspended.

This is, like... "to be fair to Polio, it only started being demonised once we found out what it was..."

What in the Holy Name of Logic is this?!
