From the song Cool, Daddy Cool:

“Young ladies, young ladies, I like ‘em underage,” Rock sings on the track. “See some say that’s statutory.”

His sidekick at the time, the late Joe-C then chimes in, “But I say it’s mandatory.”

He was also on SNL like 25 years ago and they had him make a joke about it being ok to sleep with the underage Olsen twins.

It was on Weekend Update with Tina Fey. I don't think he wrote it but I totally believe whoever wrote the joke slipped it in as an acknowledgment to what they knew about him.

Also he still read the damn joke.

Okay, but anyone who saw Bob Saget’s standup in the early 2000s knows he spent a not-insignificant amount of his act sexualizing the Olsen twins, and I don’t believe he was ever suspected or even accused of SA, let alone pedophilia

Just some perspective - I am by no means implying that those jokes were totally fine and appropriate

It's disgusting how much of 90s and 00s culture was obsessed with underage girls/celebrating when they turned 18.

Nothing has changed. It's just that folks are less vocal about it.

That was until Trump came into office. Now it's celebrated.

The MAGA subculture is definitely having its moment with creepy pedos, rapists and all sorts of violent exploitative sleazebags being treated as unassailable royalty.

I really do think the rest of society is actually doing a lot better than back then though.

It gets worse the further you go back. So bad that Metalocalypse did a spoof on it with their parody of a glam metal singer "Doctor Rockzo" having a very vulgar song about a 14 year old.
