    Is it me or is this a recent trend of making the impression that paedophilia in the 70s-80s was normal? Like a week or so

      Things were bad in the 80s in general.

      Look at movies from the time. Revenge of the Nerds has one of the nerds dressing up in the same costume as a jock to have sex with his rival’s girlfriend. And when she finds out after the deed, she loved the rape so much she decides to dump her boyfriend.

      Blade Runner - the beloved classic sci-fi has Harrison Ford pinning a woman who says no to a wall and sexing her up as the romantic climax of the film.

        I’ve never seen a Blade Runner movie but America does have a consent problem.

        Its so prevalent that I had an idea for a movie of a bunch of recently retired dudes being bored with getting old and deciding to re-enact a bunch of their favorite pranks from old movies only to get in JUST far enough to be in deep shit and then realise they are committing felonies and their antics trying to extract themselves.

      Just because you weren’t aware how prevalent this stuff was until now doesn’t mean the rest of us also weren’t or that it’s made up. Pedophile shit used to be way out in the open, that’s just a fact. Brooke Shields did a pornographic full nude Playboy photoshoot when she was 10 years old.

      Hasn’t noticed that but now you mention it, yeah shit this is definitely a subversive attempt to save the predator class.
