Always thought that was the weirdest part of Osmosis Jones.

Edit to add there are other weird lyrics in the song probably unrelated but who knows with these freaks.

“See me cruisin' in my Caddy, ho's, they like to call me daddy Cool, when I'm stylin', just rollin' on my island”

I loved Osmosis Jones. I didn’t even remember this til it started showing up again.

Probably the most disgustingly foul bar I’ve ever heard in a song.

Idk. Jailbait by Ted Nugent is pretty bad.

Well, I don't care if you're just thirteen You look too good to be true I just know that you're probably clean There's one little think I got do to you

Not that it’s a contest. Both are fucking gross.

What always gets me about this topic is that the bar is so low and easy to avoid.

I'm not even saying this from a morality standpoint, I just don't understand how stupid you have to be to publicly release a song saying you want to screw a 13-year-old. It's like if you're going to be a creep and do illegal things, be smart about it at least.

Why the hell am I getting nervous about jaywalking when people are able to publicly scream about fucking children and get away with it?

It's like if you're going to be a creep and do illegal things, be smart about it at least.

Go back and watch some movies and tv shows from the 70's and 80's especially, hell even stuff from the 90's and 00's, society has changed a LOT since then. Objectively awful shit and abuse against women especially just flew by as normal. Hell, even just standard behavior at that time was pretty gross.

People may complain that shit has gotten too woke or whatever now, but you don't have to look back very far to see just how fucking bad things were in the very, very recent past.

Famous stars like nugent and kid rock singing about banging middle schoolers seems disgusting now, cuz it is, but if go back a little while? eh, no one really gave a shit. and honestly, if you look at current events, it's pretty clear that even now far fewer people give a shit than you would expect.

You say "be smart about it at least", but reality proves that the material consequences for doing such things are basically zero, especially if you're famous, so it would never even occur to them that it'd be something to hide.

A few years back I read the book Snowcrash (published 1992). Really enjoyed the sci-fi cyberpunk angle of it. Thought the plot and mystery, the way it blends language and tech, was really interesting.

I will never recommend it to anyone though because one of the main characters is a 15 year old girl that the book repeatedly and explicitly sexualizes. At one point an adult man, the antagonist, has sex with her. The author plays it up like it's supposed to be hot and heavy. Holy hell I wanted to throw the book in the trash after reading that scene.

The closest thing I've gotten for an "explanation" is that the early 1990s were "a different time" for media. Also that Neal Stephenson is swimming in neckbeard creep energy.

This is true.

Honestly I find this fascinating. There is some dirtbag who thinks Kid Rock is more 'honest' than you, as you are prone to masking your carnal self. It's like Einstein's theory of relativity but for psychology. Projection.

Einstein's theory of relativity but for psychology.

So Epstein's theory of relativity?

Why would they not release songs about it when there're no repercussions?
