Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
If you look closely, you can can actually pinpoint the exact moment the author's aspirations of being a serious journalist breaks in two.
This specific girl was 20, so not technically a child, but obviously still weird and unethical for a 40 year old. That kinda age difference obv has inherent major power dynamics (+ the power dynamic of a celebrity with a fan), he knew that and used it manipulate her, pressure her into drinking underage, and sexually assault her
Yea some were underage apparently. Most weren't, but reading the details of this article really goes to show how similarly easy it is to manipulate 18-22 year olds as it is to manipulate minors. Legal =/= moral obviously, I believe he might have even been in states where the age of consent is 16 when having sex with the younger girls
Its really surprisingly easy to manipulate any one of any age.
