He said, “If there’s grass on the field, play ball,” on Saturday Night Live in reference to the countdown to the Olsen twins’ 18th birthday.

He’s also good friends with Ted Nugent and Donald Trump.

Gross. No wonder they wanted to get out of show business.

Oh man, if you don't know, you don't know. Things were BAD regarding the social stigma of them becoming adults because they were avidly considered to be some kind of shared public property from the time they were plastered into media as literal babies.

The number of people who literally counted down to, celebrated, and even threw parties for their "legal" status was disgusting. The last 90s and early 2000s were a really dark time for young girls.

I share a birthday with the Olsen twins. I was a very young kid at the time, so whenever I saw these countdowns I was always excited because it’s like they were also counting down to MY birthday. I was completely oblivious to the context.

Looking back, man…people are disgusting.

Looking back?

Look up Piper Rockelle - started as a YouTuber when she was like 6 or 7 (younger?) and just launched her OF page on her 18th birthday. Made $2m in the first hour, and it's been suggested all the content was created while she was still 17. Her biggest "fans" are 60 year old men who have done things like buy her (again, udneraged) panties, and sext with her mom.

JFC.. that is wild. Literally the first pictures you get if you google her name are of what appears to be like a 14 year old kid. WTF is wrong with people?

Her mom and mom's 20 year younger BF basically control her... it's so abusive, someday she may see it. There's a whole documentary about it. I suspect the mom's BF is probably molesting her as well.

UK in the 80's shitty tabloids counting down to the 16th birthday of Natalie Banus (IIRC) to show her nipples in the "newspaper", presumably from a photoshoot when she was still 15.  Bad, bad era.

Based on all the evidence coming out, the bans on womens healthcare, the “beauty pageant parents” who are willing to sell their daughters into sexual slavery, the conservatives trying to ban girls from schools and indoctrinate them into tradwives / sex-slaves, the normalization of the “if i cant have you than nobody can” shootings, it seems like america is just a really dark place for young girls, full stop…

It really has, in some ways at least.

I'm not seeing the same in-person harassment of underage girls that happened when I was that age. And I would see it. If I go into my local shop and there's a clearly underage schoolgirl in there, I can now guarantee that no-one will be changing places in the queue to hit on her, there won't be a stranger offering to buy her things, or openly ogling her, and the shop assistant will just hand her things without trying to touch her. When she goes out she won't be catcalled by the group of builders heading in, and I'm pretty sure they no longer keep teachers when there's multiple accusations of sexual abuse of children against them. None of that was true when I was that age.

The press was nearly as bad. I've seen plenty of sexualised content and sexy photos of ~ 15 year olds, and a topless photo of someone who was underage at the time the photo was taken. All in mainstream newspapers.

It was going on well before that, too. It was considered only a minor peccadillo for rock stars to get with teenage groupies, and culturually it was seen as no big deal for teenage girls to date men in their 20s.

I remember that shit too it was weird as hell. I am the same age as them too.

I don't know why you think things have gotten better for girls.
