It's not essential; it's just a really hard thing to avoid. Pathologic and its sequel do a good job of this, but they're outliers

I came out at 36, can confirm.

I would be shocked!

Well, not that shocked.

He’s another one of those not even man enough to own what he likes.

Awww dammit, really!? 

Cool, let’s make more movies lionizing pedophiles!
