Her torrid freshness became an underground legend among the talent set. Producers literally held their breaths, waiting for the remarkable Brooke Shields to reach a reasonable age of fuckability, not yet legal, but oh, so sweet. Welcome to the end of innocence, Brookie.

Multiple people had to okay that. How? HOW????

This is an unhinged paragraph about a 13 year old.

Makes you think America has a pedo problem. What a ridiculous notion.

[–] Bubbaonthebeach@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago

It wasn't just America. There was code used with women, girls about whose knee to avoid sitting on etc. Some people realized it was wrong but for the most part, society's way of dealing was to ignore and pretend it wasn't happening. And if a girl got pregnant - it was all her fault. The difference was the greater reach of TV, cable, magazines than previous decades which started to undo the secrecy. As much a people hate on Boomers, they were the ones who started saying enough already, there needs to be laws against this if people can't figure out on their own that it is wrong.

It's even more fucked up when you take the context into account. This article is making sidelong references to the movie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Baby_(1978_film) which was based on a true story of child rape and exploitation. So this "article" takes that context and I guess sides with the monsters? fucking hell.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Jeeesus christ. One helluva thirsty pedophile wrote that.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 112 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If you are not familiar with Brooke's story... I'm sorry for ruining you day.

Shields, now 59, has been vocal about her experiences, including her infamous appearance in Playboy at age 10 and her role when she was a minor in The Blue Lagoon, a film that featured her and her co-star in numerous nude scenes.

Horrid.

On a similarly infuriating note, the article states, “One user on X, @dvorstone, captured the public's shock and dismay . . . They wrote, ‘I don't think this country has, or even will, come to terms with the sexual corruption of the boomers. From the swinging to divorce to homosexuality, drag/transvestites, and pedophilia, they mainstreamed virtually every sexual degeneracy that has metastasized everywhere in our culture . . .

None of those words belong with pedophilia in that sentence. Breezing by a careless association like that it is why we are in a horrid place right now. This is the sexual corruption of the boomers still at play. Fuck that guy.

A more suitable word would have been “conservative” or “religion,” since those are the key corrupters of civilized society in realtime.

Evie Magazine is an American alt-right women's magazine. Evie has published conspiracy theories, pseudoscientific content and anti-vaccine misinformation.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 55 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Exactly, the depraved and cruel sex acts (such as rape of children) usually come from sexual repression from religion and lack of education on consent and boundaries due to religious repression.

It does not come from healthy adults exploring with other healthy adults in a consensual environment with healthy boundaries. That comes from sexual education and freedom.

EDIT: What's even more infuriating is the first sentence of that statement is still correct when it comes to rampant child abuse: "I don’t think this country has, or even will, come to terms with the sexual corruption of the boomers." The whole statement is real "they had us in the first half" material.

I did some research (more than I should for this ancient trite) and this comes from February 1978 issue of High Times magazine. A fucking stoner magazine! What the hell was the writer of some second-rate publication for grass and shrooms doing writing a lust piece about an up-and-coming child actress? What kind of grass would make you want to fuck a child?

Hold on, it gets worse. According to Wikipedia, the article's writer, Ed Dwyer, was the magazine's founding editor. Imagine working at that magazine's office and reading your boss's 1970s equivalent of a horny post.

She played the role of a prostitute in a movie and instead of the article being like “whoa this movie is pretty heavy - trigger warning” it’s all “damn she’s hot.”

The problem didn't just appear suddenly. Why do you think the situation in the US is what it is? Trash like trump don't see anything wrong with raping kids. This problem goes back to the beginning of time. We evolve socially but they stay in their caves.

[–] BigTuffAl@lemmy.zip 55 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Kinda like this rich pedo culture only went into hiding recently, never died, and never lost influence among the money cult. I think I am going to learn more about pyrotechnics.

The 1970s... some people romanticizing it because they think it's cool and cheesy, kids are "latchkey" and no one trying to mind your manners. In reality drug abuse was really full-on, some US cities were plagued by crime in the open, there were all kinds of shock and gore movies, and sexual permissiveness is so low that even minors are not spared -- like boys from junior high literally talking about eventually getting laid.

Magazines like that one are so much a reflection of the views of the time, and this article has the author alternately despising "mainstream" culture while simultaneously selling her as a sex object.

No one should wonder why some men "thriving" from that decade were really fucked up, now curb-stomping civil rights so that they could get their own "freedoms".

This isn't just sexualising children, this is sexual abuse of people. Nobody should be sexualised without their consent. It is a disgrace that this ever hapened to her; however, this thing is still happening around the world regardless of age.

The industries thrive on non consentual manipulation of people. Adults, teens and even children are driven deep into the trap that is abuse.
