Political Weirdos

This is Kanye-level rage baiting

I may have been a little kid in the '80s, but I don't remember Jr High being an acceptable part of the general dating pool. I also don't remember any major changes in the '90s to how acceptable relationships between adults and teenagers were.

Her grandma's time also had polio, that doesn't mean it would be okay for it to happen again now.

Times have changed, that's for sure. There are still huge, successful rock acts that are known to have engaged in that. I'm not excusing any of it but it was normalized, and to a degree we overlook it with varying levels of cognitive dissonance. My 16 year old prom date in 1990 went with me as friends because her boyfriend was 29 with the full blessing of her parents. Child porn wasn't illegal until 5 years after I was born.

But also I look back on those times and see so many girls with what today would be clearly seen as signs of abuse (including my prom date). It was always wrong. It was always harmful.

Social media has gotten people to think the most awful things without any hint of irony.

Then why was it illegal even back then?

I'm pretty sure you could go back 1000 years and people would have a problem with a 12 year old being forced to give birth

So basically: "Yeah, he was raping 14 year olds, it's no big deal. Everyone was doing it."

Wacky cunt.

Man she us all over the place with ages there.

14
12
15
15
15
10 (Too young)
13

How many times do you think they thought about what age they were comfortable going down to when the right answer was none of this?

Girl, no, we practically share a date of birth, and I remember distinctly that 18 has always been the age of consent, including many places outside the US. I was shocked to find out some places had lower legal limits.

Throughout her career, Banks's social media presence and outspoken views, especially on U.S. politics and race, as well as disputes with other artists, have attracted significant controversy. Banks has been accused of homophobia, transphobia, and xenophobia towards multiple nationalities. Complex noted in 2014 that "she gets more attention for her public feuds than she does for her music".

it sounds like the controversy and negative attention is the point, and this post just further rewards the behavior

outrage is its own reward for some

Yeah, as societies we don't tend to ban things that nobody does. Civilized societies have banned sex with underaged people because it's harmful for the kids and because people are driven to do it.

This is that lady who killed so many chickens in her hallway closet in the name of "witchcraft" that she had to use a sander to get the dried blood and offal out of the floorboards.

Future generations treating past generations with disdain is kind of the whole point of social progress. Slavery has only been a social taboo in the last couple centuries max. Women's equal political rights are even more recent, only about 100 years. LGBT rights are barely a generation old. So wtf is this argument? It's logical extension is "infant exposure is OK, the Romans did it just fine"
