    I don’t have any stakes in this but every time there is a new “scandal” of some sort of celebrity being creepy and perverted I can’t help but wonder what the victims were expecting initially.

    Since the invention of the rockstar concept sexual deviancy and substance abuse have openly been a part of the package. Being scandalous is the very essence of it.

    Now i don’t condone any of it, but if people seek out someone with money and fame as their partner, how can they possibly be surprised by that? It’s even part of the initial attraction.

      Kids don’t think like that tho. They don’t think in terms of sexual ulterior motives. Especially when they basically idolize the person.

      Plus it also escalates. These kids get groomed. You think new altar boys go from heres the altar to plowed in the ass overnight?

        Fair enough, that’s not my intent. The question still stands though. People are not fucking stupid, where should the line be drawn? Is it victim blaming if I call someone who touches a hot stove an idiot? Probably not.

        So I would say there is some sort of common sense that should be expected from people.

          You’d be surprised how stupid people can be, especially with some sort of blinders on.

          Money, sex, love… All things people go after without necessarily looking at the whole picture.

          I left a better baying job that was more inline with my skill set and would have been a career step forward.

          That being said, due to that job, that I left over a year ago, I still have PTSD like reactions to certain stimuli that I was overwhelmed with at that job.

          Not worth the extra money.

        This is even worse than reddit tier armchair psychology.

        I’m not a future rapist because I ask where compassion ends and idiocy begins. I don’t think it’s good that we have a caste of people above the law, but that’s how the world works. The rich can do whatever the fuck they want, which breeds extreme and deviant behaviors. That shouldn’t be news to anyone.
