He dated an 18 year old. Not 17 or 16.
No she was 17..
Does it matter? This person has brought this up twice now as if her being 18 makes any fucking difference. He was in his 40s. It's disgusting.
It makes a huge difference because 18 is legal and 17 is not. Why is it disgusting? How much of a difference is less disgusting to you in this arbitrary subjective opinion?
I am not sure I buy into fact checking from Yahoo, but I'll simply point out that legal or not, a guy who was almost 40 dating a teenager in high school is really disgusting no matter how you look at it.
again that is a subjective opinion that not everyone will agree with, as evidenced by the fact he was never cancelled. if the majority of people thought it was so awful to do something completely legal, he wouldn't still be a comic.
Social media did not exist much then at all, he most certainly would have been cancelled if it was active back then.
But it exists now and he's still fine... and it has been reported many times over the years
So does Woody Allen.
Is there some magical change women go through when they go from 17 to 18 or is it just legal to fuck them when they turn 18 and not 17? Because I'd say when you're in your 40s, that's pretty fucking disgusting. You're still fucking a high school girl.
Ask the people who made it legal and never cancelled him over it. Obviously not everyone in the world agrees with you including lawmakers.
That's because "cancelling" isn't a thing and arguing that just because something is legal it's a good thing is a bizarre argument. Is smoking a good thing?
