It is ALWAYS men who victimize older children trying to make themselves look better or feel better about their criminal activity. They fairly reek of it just from the posts, the fucking ghouls.

Yes. Being invested in that particular distinction — “they’re very different!” — is not a good look on anyone.

It very much is. These same guys also have committed the age of consent in every country, state and province to memory, which isn’t creepy AT ALL.

Thank you. Not cast aspersions (actually, I do) but several seem to be particularly insistent, to the point of being weird about it. Like it’s personal or something.

Concede them nothing. This is a successful derailing tactic for decades. There is no major difference between pedophilia and so-called hebephilia. The terms are also ancient and as such do not reflect current thinking. They are both rapes of a minor child.

Fuck these hebephile fucks. Don’t let them derail. Hebephilia and pedophilia are the same damn thing. they both have adults target children. I refuse to make a difference between them. A child who is 9 and a child who is 15—still children. I don’t care and I don’t think most rational human non-garbage people care…

Ah, the “ephebophilia” crowd aka pedophiles who like their children a bit older but really want to blur the line between child and adult in their favor to better victimize vulnerable older kids. Scum. of. the. earth.

Yep. dismiss dismiss dismiss. Pretty weird to get hung up on words instead of confronting the actual issue of an older man preying on kids, and then deflecting by coming out. It’s “alternate facts” level of distraction.

It is common for people to stay emotionally stunted at the age they were during trauma. I have also read that people stay the age they were when they get famous. It’s probably a double whammy for him. It is an almost childlike comment he’s making — the Weinstein accusers got offered a lot of money and he didn’t, it’s…

I love classic YA novels!

I totally believe that a lot of truly horrific and terrible and ILLEGAL things happened to Corey Feldman as a child.

I think he was so traumatized by his incredibly abusive childhood that he is emotionally still at the level of a child. He looks at people who were adults at the time of the abuse while he was (Is still in his mind) a helpless child. He was powerless as a child and his adulthood had been a struggle on the outer rim of…

THANK YOU for bringing up Michael Jackson. For a few years now I’ve been feeling like I’ve been taking crazy pills. IDK about Michael but I wouldn’t settle a child molestation case for any amount of money if I wasn’t actually guilty of child molestation because to me, a settlement means “I’m guilty but I’m also rich…

I don’t know, either. He sounds genuinely contrite and is supportive of his accuser; not sure if outing himself is meant to be a distraction or he just figured the game was over.

I’ve started to wonder about actresses whose careers suffered because they were labelled “difficult”. Is that just a punishment for refusing powerful predators?

Gordon Cole explains that there’s an ancient evil force called Jow Dai (I have no idea of the correct spelling here) that they’ve come to call Judy. The Odessa version of Laura works at Judy’s diner, implying she’s been imprisoned by that force. In essence, at the end of the series, Judy may be kind of our new BOB—…

No, I think Cooper tried to save Laura, but ultimately failed. All he did was create an alternate dimension where Laura lived, but that dimension was extinguished in the final moment of the episode once Laura realized who she really was.

These last two episodes made me realize I don’t really give a shit about the mythology. The reason season 1 and parts of season 2 and FWWM worked so well was the emotional resonance and because you cared about the characters.

Season 3 has a bit of that, but mostly it focuses on the mythology way too much. It being a…

Couldn’t you say that it’s not just about the show, but an existential elegy to lost time in general?

Personally, I think I really loved the ending. What was Twin Peaks about? Strip away all the lunacy and what was it about? It was about a dead girl and the FBI agent trying to solve her murder and thus symbolically save her.
