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.

It blows my mind that he had sex with countless little girls aged about 14 and literally nobody bats an eye

If a rockstar fucks a fourteen year old that’s rape.

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

You spoke about the consenting nature of fourteen year olds so I don’t entirely disagree with what they said.

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.

Yea but it’s easier to join a dog pile than it is to think critically.

The worst part about reddit that lemmy just copied inherently.
Yay social media!

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?

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.

It’s glorious how little I care about your overblown reactionary opinion. Have a pleasant day

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

There’s a guy doing coke in one of Aerosmith’s songs with Steve Tyler’s own daughter in the front seat:
