Can't expect him to think it's wrong when I'm his world it isn't. Even lovable celebrities like Guillermo del Toro signed petitions to pardon Polanski. All the rockstars of the 70s fucked kids. Savile got away with it because everyone who knew let him. The ex and likely next president is a rapist who wants to fuck his own daughter and people are defending him for it.
So extra money leads to kid touching? Seems like it. Pre subway jarred= no kids Subway money jarred= Arrested for fucking kids.
Guess money makes you stop giving a fuck about consequences since there are rarely any

I think it's more that not giving a fuck about hurting someone makes you more likely to become rich, and being rich makes it easier to get away with things.

Right-wing hero Ted Nugent "adopted" a teenage girl so he could fuck her back in the 70s.

This was one of those that made me realize that celebrities are a whole other breed. Hollywood is full of this shit, even worse in the 70s and 80s. Hell, David Bowie and Mick Jagger were fucking 14 year olds and people still worship them.
Kendrick called out Drake recently by rapping that he has a nymph fetish. Never knew there was another name besides ephebophile/pedophile, but yeah wtf... Is it being stuck mentally at an age they didn't grow from sexually or something?
The line from Kendrick's Meet the Grahams is actually
He hates Black women, hypersexualizes ’em with kinks of a nympho fetish
This part isn't about children, it's generally believed to be about Drakes alleged assault on Laquana Morris.
The former stripper and Instagram model alleged: “Drake forced me to perform oral on him. It wasn’t your ordinary oral it was more so a fetish.” She then describes how he told her to spit into a cup “until he had measured it."
Ah damn lmao, I totally misheard it as nymph fetish, shoot! Thought it was a reference to him getting close to 14 year old Millie Bobbie Brown 😅
I don't know anything about the Drake/Kendrick thing, but the term nymph probably became associated with pedophilia because of the novel Lolita. It's one of the creepy endearments the main character comes up with while he is obsessing over the child he's going to rape later in the story.

Good. It's what he deserves. I was 9 or 10 when that happened and I remember thinking it was so gross and being confused why people were just like...cool with it? I'm glad people are calling him out now - better late than never, I guess.
Boomers have a much higher tolerance of SA and grooming. Look at how it's just accepted that Rock Stars could have underaged... pursuits.
I know this won't be popular, but it's for a few reasons:
- It wasn't and isn't illegal.
- Most people would look at her and see a hot woman and understand it.
- This whole puritanical BS that if you are over 18 and find someone under 18 attractive, that makes you a pedophile, is a modern a theme. Back then people were free to admit that they found young women attractive without being labelled by so many to have a mental disorder.
I speak strongly about this because I think we are doing great damage to mental health to repeatedly claim it's a mental disorder to have a completely normal and common biological attraction.
But don't get me wrong, I 100% support protecting minors from predators. I agree these laws should exist, I just wish people would stop pretending that there is something wrong with the attraction itself.
I don't really have an issue with a 16 year old dating an 18 year old. They're close enough that the age thing wouldn't be an issue, but 17 and 38 is a bit different.
I also don't really have an issue with adults being attracted to... people below the legal limit so long as they don't act on it. It's very difficult to have this discussion when most people can't grasp that desires don't always lead to actions and have problems separating fiction from reality. There are people with rape fetishes that find healthy, consensual ways to simulate the act, something that the mainstream can't really cope with.
But that's not really the discussion we're having. Jerry Seinfeld had a teenaged girlfriend when he was 38. Celebrities using their positions of power isn't acceptable.
Romeo and Juliet laws show we absolutely have some tolerance for adults dating teenagers. And nobody I know is saying a 17 year old can't be sexually attractive. The problem is they essentially unarmed against the average 30 year old. And I'd much rather draw a line somewhere than the actual puritanical practice of marrying teenagers to a 40 year old man who happens to have the most money available.

"Jerry Seinfeld and Shoshanna Lonstein Gruss claimed they were "just friends" in the beginning of their relationship and only went public when she turned 18..."
"...Shoshanna is a person, not an age. She is extremely bright. She's funny, sharp, very alert. We just get along. You can hear the click."
And don't forget:
It wasn't that bad.... Oh, yeah, it was that bad.
Yeah I remember first hearing about it after watching Seinfeld (the show) a few years back and thought it must be some overreaction for a bad joke or something, then I heard the recording and well, definitely not an overreaction

Shoshanna is a person, not an age
Um aktuly, it's called ephibaphilia
“If you don’t like it, cancel me!”
Jerry probably shouldn’t be talking about other people’s ability to make bad decisions.

He just did a little whoopsie!
Jerry Seinfeld and his family were in Caliber 3. During their visit to Israel last week, they came to us for a special and exciting activity with displays of combat, Krav Maga, assault dogs and lots of Zionism. It was great.”

He is a shitty person
"Pedophiles...who are these people??"
I dont like jerry seinfeld at all but implying that he is a pedo is completely unsubstantiated. I think the scandals here are gross but everyone is clearly above the age of consent.
True, I was being hyperbolic. 17 is the age of consent in New York, so he was skimming REEEEALLY close to the line.

What is the deal with hyperbolically claiming that Jerry Seinfeld, who dated a high school girl, is a pedophile?

It's always amused me as a Jewish person that Jerry Seinfeld is so Jewish that he's even only pedophilic with Jewish girls.

I remember we had a coworker (in his late 20s or early 30s) gushing on how he celebrated his gfs 18th birthday. Then we all started doing the math when earlier he had mentioned they had been together for 2 years.

Jerry Seinfeld's teen girlfriend is probably past middle age by now.
If she was 17 in 93, she's 48 now.
Wow, that's getting up there... Wait, she's only a few years older than me.
Oh god
