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.
The critical thinking required is to admit that someone under the age of consent cannot consent. The attractive rock star is just as evil as the hideous Epstein client.
It boggles my mind the lengths people go to in order to talk about Trump in my posts. Sure Steven Tyler is being discussed as a rapist… But you know, his rape was kinda like cool and alright because he was kinda cool and the girl probably thought he was cool. Plus she’s a wise old 14 which means apparently consent is possible, especially because the guy, the guy is COOL. So because her completely developed mind grasped his level of cool, its really not that problematic, is it? Plus we are operating with all the facts here. We know who experienced what and so we can definitively say any of the cool guys victims/?partners? didn’t have a bad time compared to that other thing we have all the facts about too… Meanwhile this completely unrelated guy is not kinda cool so when he raped kids it wasn’t cool. You don’t make a bad point necessarily, just kind of an obvious who gives a fuck point in which making the delineation isn’t helpful for anyone. Man gets shot in the head and dies instantly vs man is slowly tortured to death with knives. Both are murder, saying one isn’t as bad is disrespectful to both victims regardless of how bad you want to be pedantic or trash talk a politician you don’t like. Hopefully you’ve been blessed with the tools, healthy coping mechanisms and professional help to deal with your trauma. Hopefully anyone reading this has the cognitive ability to differentiate where/when I was being sarcastic.

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

Oh no no no. They had sex slaves on that island. It is not the same.
Steven Tyler took his victim on tour as his sex slave.
Steven Tyler forced his rape victim to have an abortion after he impregnated her because he was also her legal guardian.
But no, you’re right. It’s much more acceptable.

Sorry, did you write something there?
Nothing that would impact your way of thinking, which is fine.
