Fucking gross child rapist shit.

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

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.

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".

I remember she was nude in Blue Lagoon and she was 14 or 15 at the time. It was a scandal.

Also, Woody Allen? Guess everyone knew he was a creep all the way back then.

Is it me or is this a recent trend of making the impression that paedophilia in the 70s-80s was normal? Like a week or so

Who wrote this, and who was the editor? Tell me they don't still have jobs.
