No. No we don't.
There is no reason any culture can justify sexy anything with a _child_. Find me one example of where "the culture someone comes from" has a woman rolling like that with a boy who may not have even started puberty.
8,000 years ago, maybe that was kind normie for reasons other than shitty old men (lifespan, w/e), but that doesn't hold any water today.
I'm not saying any of this is equal, but there's no way I roll up into Tehran eating pork rinds and doing cosplay of the Prophet either.
This BS argument needs to be deaded.
- justbaker 4y agoIt’s not black and white; this was 80 years ago, and a 17 year old. Now, that is definitely stat rape. Then, it was the norm. You’re certainly right that holds no water today, but it’s not today.
- jprd 4y agoRight. It was all OK back then (it really wasn't), so we should just shrug it off. I mean, Von Braun was only a Nazi because he wanted to play with rockets. We need to take all this into account. I in no way, wish to ever deny someone's scientific contributions. We can't deny the genius of MJ and Bowie, but we sure as hell can incorporate the whole person into their legacy while we're singing along.
- justbaker 4y agoI wouldn’t say “it was okay back then”; 17 year olds today vs then is something that is night and day. Also The way I see it, differentiate a persons personal life from whatever contributions they have from their professional life. A good example is Michael Jackson. You can love his music and hate him as a person. So it’s more split the legacy. This also being said, I’d erase every pedo from the face of the earth given the chance.
- nsajko 4y agoAFAIK there is no indication that Michael Jackson ever did anything inappropriate towards the children he welcomed to his estate. He even won in court. And TBH I detest that you're sort of comparing Jackson to these Crowleyites.
- justbaker 4y agoSorry, not directly comparing them. I’m only using that as an example to split the professional work / personal life.
- evilDagmar 4y agoDon't engage in outrage inflation. The original point was about a 17-year old, and if you've got to condemn that from 80 years ago, you have to condemn pretty much everyone who lived during the middle ages because by that age most couples were already working on their second child.
