    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.

        So you think that if a fourteen year old likes getting raped it’s not that bad?

        Where’s the cut-off in your mind?

        Is it not that tramatizing if it’s a promiscuous six year old?

        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.

                  You have nothing to say worth listening to on this topic. You’re more disgusting than smcf by this take alone. I really hope rape does not affect you or your loved ones personally. But if it does. You’ll know this is just a terrible take. Maybe consider other’s pov on this one.

                  Yet I can understand that fourteen year olds can’t consent to being raped by an adult.

                  Maybe that should give you a pause for self-reflection.

                    You’re deliberately blurring a distinction between a legal definition and an societal issue to paint me as a pervert. It’s obviously disingenuous. You’re also removing the agency of the victim, and further more diluting the difference between rape, where one party absolutely does not have an interest, and one where despite the legality, both parties retain agency and mutually enter into an illegal situation. There is a reason statutory rape and rape are different charges, and it isn’t because rockstars fucking kids isn’t gross. Now go away

      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.

          It’s just an easy way to feel superior to a stranger on the Internet they otherwise know zero about.
