  UK newspapers would frequently publish photos of 16 years old girls with their tits out. That was only made illegal in 2004.

  Back during Paedomania of the early 2000s, Brass Eye had an episode taking the piss out of the press’s new found moral crusade, despite them happily being in on it for the better part of 30 years. The press did not like this at all. Unfortunately they didn’t seem to realise they were at fault, which led to the memorable juxtaposition of an article about “perv spoof bosses” on the opposite side of the page from an article about how big 15 year old Charlotte Church’s boobs were getting.

  I think that was still very much a thing at least a decade after Britney became legal.

  Gif reminder that Daenerys is 13 at the start of GoT. But ofc the actress was 24 in s1 so not really anything controversial.

  I can’t say for sure that actresses ages were tracked as much but I remember like sites showing countdowns to when Emma Watson became of legal age. I’m the same age roughly so it wasn’t weird for me but it was weird that people did it.

  And still do.

    They did age up all the ASOIAF characters for the show, so the show insisting that we all ogle Daenerys didn’t really have much to do with pedophilia. It was just regular old gross ass Hollywood misogyny.

  I actually do not remember that because I actively ignored all popular music, all royal family, all oj simpson, and the rest. I still do. Oh yeah, also actor’s names, I try not to learn them.

    I’d bet that more-or-less describes a disproportionate amount of Fediverse users.
