I think it's that a significant portion of men are capable of sexual exploitation and sexual violence but being bound by societal mores encourages people to repress that side of themselves, whereas having the freedom, money, and power of a celebrity turns loose those urges on people who have now had their ego and sense of entitlement fed to a level almost nobody ever experiences.

That whole system of groupies (overage/underage) by now feels like a meat grinder that we still want to overlook. It really is a shame but at the same time it feels there's always a new batch of willing victims that consciously/unconsciously keep it going. It seems like something we dont quite want to fix. Obvz i think we should.

If you're talking about CEOs and politicians then yeah but when talking about actors and musicians it's not exactly the same dynamic.

I'd be willing to accept that if people in everyday life didn't show casually that they'd probably be willing to take advantage of a 12 year old if they could totes get away with it.

Pretty typical of most men to fantasize about being in it for the groupies.

Not me. I've always wanted to be a musician for the music, not for the groupies.
