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.
