[–] QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works 17 points 15 hours ago (6 children) Isn’t that guy a convicted pedophile permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] driftwood@lemmy.zip 4 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (5 children) Yes and he was convicted before he was in some of the stuff you might know him from iirc 🤢 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] cjoll4@lemmy.world 9 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (4 children) Not really. He had a prolific career before the scandal broke in 2002 and he's been in maybe six projects in the decades since. Ferris Bueller, Beetlejuice, and Amadeus were all before the scandal. Just to provide context, he paid a 14-year-old to pose for photos. There were no allegations of physical contact and the victim was not a prepubescent child (as implied by the term pedophile). Still inappropriate, criminal, and all-around fucked up. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] tacosanonymous@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 13 hours ago (2 children) What’s the phrase? Something like it’s hard to explain the difference between a pedophile and a phebophile without sounding like a pedophile. An arbitrary distinction when it colloquially means, attracted to children/minors. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] cjoll4@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago People's minds go to the worst possible scenario when you say "convicted pedophile," or at least mine did. I don't think the distinction between diddling elementary schoolers and taking pictures of a high schooler is arbitrary. I'm not defending Jones, he can go to hell. I'm just adding context to a thread that contained misinformation. permalink fedilink source parent [–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 point 7 hours ago He's a child predator. Most child predators aren't even attracted to children under 16 (16 and 17 year olds look like adults) permalink fedilink source parent [–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 point 13 hours ago i remember him most from Howard the Duck (1984). pretty much anything to keep from remembering duck boobs (hoo-ooo) permalink fedilink source parent
