    Not currently. But it used to be fairly common, is the point.

        The distinction between past and present. And more abstractly, not confusing acknowledgement of past moral principles as agreement with them.

          saying it was common back then is tacitly approving of it IMHO

          but people can make up their own minds.

          note that many of these people who fucked jail bait are still alive and it is still happening in celebrating circles.

          did not charlie cheen rape some kid? and there many stories all the disney jailbat being raped?

          What excuse will society muster for this shit happening in 1990s?

              where are you getting this information? how common was it?

              who was fucking all this jailbait? just trash celebs? or everybody was bagging a 14 year old on the side?

              who was supplying the jailbait? parents or they just acted on “their own”

                Maybe if people weren’t so afraid to acknowledge uncomfortable topics in history, you would know the answers to those questions already.

                or everybody was bagging a 14 year old on the side?

                It was closer to this.

                  Well you don’t learn this shit in history books but if it is true, then all these pedos need to go into a wood chipper.

                    They’re mostly dead.

                    Here’s my suggestion: stop with the moral outrage. The reason it’s harmful is because of the potential for manipulation, not because such relationships are inherently harmful. The potential for abuse and manipulation is such that we’ve determined the risk is too high to accept as a society. That’s a judgment call and a subtle determination, one which previous generations (pretty much all of human history) did not make.

                    Murder and assault are pretty much universally and instinctively viewed as wrong by all societies. Relationships between adults and teenagers has historically not been seen as such. That’s a cultural phenomenon that’s very recent. I think it’s an advancement in society, like how we’ve decided misogyny and racism is wrong. But before you decide that literally everyone born before 1983 is Evil, maybe step back and consider history and culture a little.
