      Boomers will complain about rap music being about sex and drugs while nodding along to a Ted Nugent song about getting and giving STDs.

      I feel icky saying it but I think a lot has to do with the consenting nature of said 14 year olds. I don’t think riding the tour bus to the next state was really looked at like trafficking, and they weren’t coerced into attending the concert. It doesn’t make it right, but it feels different when a popular known sex icon rock star does it than a creepy, overweight real estate mogul and his super rich friends literally steals girls away from their lives with (sometimes) false promises of being a model.

        I don’t get the downvotes, I agree with you. It’s not okay, and yes, it’s legally rape, but it doesn’t have to be traumatizing the victims in the same way as the examples you also mentioned. And that’s not an excuse, but a reasonable answer to the question you responded to.

          I didn’t disagree with that, just answering why I think it’s less scrutinized. The other commenter really had a meltdown.

              It illegal for them to consent, but far from impossible

              Edit: and recognizing your username I’m actually a little chuffed that you dislike what I had to say, go fuck yourself mate.

                  If you’re too dense to understand my point I really can’t be bothered to continue with you. You’re also one of the most disgusting people I’ve encountered online so it’s funny to have you chastising me.

        Hey there, you should feel icky, because that is one of the most disgusting takes I’ve ever seen. You are defending raping children. Take a very long look in the mirror and repeat that to yourself.

        If you have any kids, you need to surrender them IMMEDIATELY. You are not fit in any way to be a parent. Disgusting.

          You are an idiot. Previous commentor was not defending this in any way, he was looking to find an explanation as to why Stephen Tyler got away with things.

    This picture is the intersection of the two groups of people you normally see wearing leopard print clothes.

    Give him a perm did he looks exactly the way my friend’s mom looked in the 90s 😭 And she did give us alcohol under 21, lmao. It worked because she gave us the nastiest, cheapest premixed mudslide possible and it repelled us from alcohol for a few more years.
