    Oh, sure. No arguement from me there. I just hate it when people diminish what words mean.

    Unethical? Sure.

    It was also unethical when Jerry Seinfeld at age 37 dated a 17 year old during the height of Seinfeld.

    Also not rape. Nor illegal. Both of which I’ve heard various people claim.

    It also deletes words like “awful” and “predatory” from conversations. Despite being objectively true, I never hear people say those words about Clinton, or Seinfeld, or any of the other similar situations.

    And on a personal note, I don’t believe Micheal Jackson did anything wrong with kids. As in, I don’t think any events actually took place. Only three people were ever said to be victims. Two of them were later proven to be parents looking for a payday. And the third was Macully Culken. And he’s directly said over multiple decades, both as a kid, and later as an adult, that MJ never did anything wrong or inappropriate.

    So I think Micheal Jackson had to live his whole adult life being falsely accused of being a pedophile and a rapist when he never was.

      The children could have been molested and their parents were also looking for a payday. They could both be true. I have no idea, I’m just saying that one doesn’t cancel out the other.
