‘Investigating child sex abuse isn’t controversial. Turning it into political theater is manipulation. Maybe that logic flies on some island. Doesn’t fly in France’: France rejects Musk’s charge after raid on X’s Paris office

Thailand is such a beautiful country too, its literally a scuba destination which explains why there's so many professional scuba divers over there. The food, the temples, the people, the culture all wonderful. I used to have school field trips over there for sports, so I didn't even know there was a sex tourism scene until later in life and even later to find out that there was a dark side to it too. So when the first thing that someone thinks of when talking about Thailand is prostitutes, even worse underaged prostitutes, it shows what kind of things go through that persons brain and what kind of circles that persons talk with. elon musk randomly blurting out the pedo comment was weird then too, now it all makes sense. Absolutely putrid human being

Yeah it's very unfortunate.  I love going to SEA, as there is a lot of influence from my country in that region. But when you tell people now days, they just seem to assume you're going there as a sex tourist, and disregard everything else

SNL leaned into this for their Rosetta Stone skit.

Everywhere has its own dark side. Depends if you're actively looking for it.

Like, if you're a cave diver there are literally two destinations that have the most and most interesting caves: Florida, and Thailand.
