Didn’t she accuse someone of SA when she was underage? Yes, when she was 17, so her comment about girls even younger is insane.

But that gets to the heart of Azealia Banks. She’s insane. She’s part of the lgbtq+ community and her sibling is trans, but she supports JK Rawlings and belittles trans women and has likened the lgbtq community to the KKK.

She believes that African Americans should be paid reparations for the crime of slavery, which zero republicans would ever grant.

She flip flopped her endorsement of Trump in 2016. Despite saying women’s issues were too important to vote for him, she celebrated his win. She then did the same basic thing in 2025, but for who knows what reasons.

She’s pro Russia as hell as well as a Zionist.

I’m not sure how we get it to happen, but she needs to put up her brain for scientific studies. The neurons are firing in ways rarely seen in humans.

    Her ability to find the most wrong take possible on just about everything is genuinely unearthly. You could generally set a pretty reliable moral compass for yourself by just adopting the exact opposite of her beliefs.

    Reminds me of shit saying I heard when I was 14. "Old enough to bleed, old enough to breed". Even then that was a fucked up thing to say. But I heard it a lot as a teenager. Mostly from other teen boys who didn't know shit about sex.

    When cherry's are red the ripe for plucking, when girls are 16...

    You get the rest.

    Jimmy Savile and Trump are cut from the same cloth. The fact other people were doing it too doesn't make their behaviour less abhorrent, it just means that abhorrent behaviour was more common.

    Think I heard that one too, but the other was more popular. Of course I heard fat mommy jokes and "You're so stupid" jokes. Even the dumb blonde jokes. I mean in 90's you didn't have worry about getting canceled for your fuck up humor.

    Yeah I remember sitting around with other 10-12 year olds as we told jokes we read in Playboy magazine. Same magazines we found either in the woods, or your step dads drawers. I only remember a couple of the jokes. But I know a couple of them looking back would only be funny to a 10 year old boy.

    She's right about one thing. This shit was prolific back in the sixties, seventies and eighties. Operation Yewtree blew the lid on just how rife paedophilia was amongst celebrities and how the (British) establishment had been covering it up for decades.

    The Epstein files should have been a similar watershed moment for the US, but unfortunately some very powerful people are on that list.

    Exactly. I didn't even hear the word "paedophile" until 2000 when Sarah Payne was murdered.

    In school in the 90s there were always 13 and 14 year old girls with older boyfriends, like we're talking 19 or 20 with cars and they could buy them cigarettes and booze.

    We never really thought much of it.

    They had very much made this shit normal, and I'm glad we now don't.

    In Canada the age of consent was 14 for a long time. There reason was they didn't want to make kids out as pedophiles like America does. So now we have a more complicated consent system that protects the kids from being taken advantage of by people way older but allows kids to do what they have been doing for centuries.

    Until a few years ago, the age of consent in my country was 14. There weren't just 13 and 14 year olds with 19 or 20 year old boyfriends, even 14 and 25-27 was a pretty common combo. Guy I went to middle school with was such an immature dumbass, he HAD to work 14 year olds to get laid at 19. Because a 15 year old would see through him already. Think he's changed now, but of course he had to father a child with a 15 year old first.

    But this isn't the 80s or 90s. No, I grew up in the '00s and '10s. This is my experience with my peers in late 00s and even early 10s.

    I don't know any teenagers anymore, but there's a podcast about sex and standup comedy (they wanna talk about standup comedy since they're both comedians, but since they named it "pussy eaters", they only get emails about sex) and holy hell, one girl out of every 4 seems hell-bent on talking about how they lost their virginity as a teenager to an older guy. Another girl out of every four is talking about how she either got raped or almost got raped (as an adult usually, not that it makes things much better). They just stopped reading emails from their listeners.

    A lot of time people comment on their own life as a youth, not really understanding the fucked up parts were in fact, fucked up.

    I didn't know that the insane shit my parents put me through wasn't normal life for everybody else. Took me well into my 20's to figure it out and even though I'm 50, I am still re-discovering memories that remind me just how fucked-up my life was back then. Re-connecting with my sister after 2 decades of estrangement due to family dysfunction and addiction, new realizations are still unfolding for me.

    Even if you bent over backwards to agree with this tweet, just look at the facts of the Epstein case. These girls were sex trafficked. Epstein and Maxwell sought out vulnerable girls and took advantage of them. They were not girls in a traditional mindset trying to find a husband and have kids.

    My great-grandmother, who was born in 1910, may have gotten married at 13 (iirc her husband was 17-18 at the time) and had my grandmother when she was 14... but that's doesn't make it "right" that she was a teen mother. She married young to get out of an abusive home life and that was her only way out at the time.

    Simply because it was the norm it doesn't mean it's right. Pederasty was definitely a thing, but a Jewish historian who lived in the Roman era said the children clearly do not like it. And grim as it will sound, there are plenty of children in South East Asia abused by Western sexpats. You can definitely see how distraught the children are while the pedophile walks proudly with his chest high.

    I could not find it but i read it in Reddit AskHistorians many years ago. I am afraid to search further as I could get flagged 😂 Fwiw, if I remember correctly, I think the name of the Jewish historian is Josephus. But the only reference from the Internet I could find about him and his comment on pederasty/pedophilia is from here https://voice.dts.edu/review/philo-josephus-and-the-testaments-on-sexuality-attitudes-towards-sexuality-in-the-writings-of-philo-and-josephus-and-in-the-testaments-of-the-twelve-patriarchs/

    She's a successful rap artist who's made some of the biggest songs of the past decade, but also happens to be a deranged person with some extremely toxic beliefs. I'm not really surprised at her antics, and in this case it makes me believe she was sexually abused as a teenager but she has normalized and rationalized her abuse in her head

    That math doesn't hold up at all unless azalea is like pushing 70 or something. Maybe her mom had her at like 45? I'm 40 and my grandparents weren't even born until the late 30s. And that's without child pregnancies.

    Just looked it up, she's 34. So even if her mom was the youngest child of her grandma, she would had to have been 60+ when she had her.

    I think the math is fine?

    2025 - 1927 = 98 (years since grandma was born)

    98 - 34 = 74 (years between grandma's birth and OP's)

    74 / 2 = 37 (average age of grandma and OP's parent when OP's line was born)

    Note that OP's parent could be her father (assuming the research didn't reveal it was her mother), which means that one generation might not need to avoid menopause age. Grandma could have had OP's father at 27, and then father could have had her with a 27 year old (when he was 47) and it would all work out. Hell, even at the extreme, gma has father at 12, then father has OP at 62 with someone of any age.

    Not saying it's right; 12 year olds should be playing anything other than baby factory and housemaid to some old fuck. But the math seems fine to me.

    Times have changed, that's for sure. There are still huge, successful rock acts that are known to have engaged in that. I'm not excusing any of it but it was normalized, and to a degree we overlook it with varying levels of cognitive dissonance. My 16 year old prom date in 1990 went with me as friends because her boyfriend was 29 with the full blessing of her parents. Child porn wasn't illegal until 5 years after I was born.

    But also I look back on those times and see so many girls with what today would be clearly seen as signs of abuse (including my prom date). It was always wrong. It was always harmful.

    By even debating this idea of 'at what age is having sex with children OK', you fall into the trap. We already have laws defining age of consent for a reason.

    The trap is to distract you from trump's sex crimes. They need to normalize statutory rape as acceptable, because more and more stuff is going to be coming out about his doing that. His base is horrified by pedophilia, but not by misogyny.

    This is how they prep the base to be just fine with crimes trump did (in this case rape) when more info comes out. Keep their thinking in black-and-white: 'pedophilia is evil, but trump didn't do that, so he's not evil! He's still our Daddy.' So they'll ignore his rapes of under-age girls just like they already ignore his rapes of adult women. So by saying,

    "Sure, why wouldn't anyone be attracted to a girl whose body is developed even if she's 'technically' under age -- it's not like it's pedophilia or anything, which would be wrong!". As long as they're 13+ it's fine!"

    they are saying statutory rape is OK as long as the girl is at least 13. No, that's just how the new Christian Nationalist theocracy wants it to be. The crap about "it was acceptable back in his day, only taboo since the '90's" is of course bullshit. I'm surprised they didn't claim it was only made taboo by the 'woke left'.

    Growing up in a state where the legal age was 18, we heard "16'll get you 20" back in the 70s and 80s.

    Prolly she grew up in the 90's, fucking older men, and only later has had people go "oh that doesn't sound healthy" and presumes that there just was no judgement at all from anyone when she was actually doing it, just because she didn't witness any personally.

    In California, the age of consent was 18 by 1920. In the 1960s and 1970s when I became sexually active, almost nobody I knew was 18 or over at the time of their first sexual experience. It was a widely-ignored law, selectively enforced. When I was under 18, most of my partners were of similar age (and on the Pill).

    In the 1880s, the age of consent in California was 10. That was typical for most states in that era. The increase to 18 was driven by the same odd alliance of progressive eugenicists and Christian reactionaries who brought us Prohibition.

    The widespread belief in the US that two 17-year-olds having a screw should be subject to prosecution seems insanely punitive and contrary to human nature.

    It's 16 in the UK, which in my view makes better sense. All of the EU countries set the age of consent somewhere in the 14-16 range.

    When I was under 18, most of my partners were of similar age (and on the Pill).

    Lots of places have romeo and juliet clauses for this. I.e when it's two 16 year olds, it's fine. If it's 16 and 25, it's not.

    It’s 16 in the UK, which in my view makes better sense. All of the EU countries set the age of consent somewhere in the 14-16 range.

    16 is bordering fine, but anything below that is too low IMO. Again, the so called romeo and juliet laws are important here. It means that even if the age of consent is 18, teenagers can still do it among themselves and if you're 15 and your 17 year old partner suddenly turns 18, that usually isn't a big deal either. Let's protect teenagers from grown ass adults, but let them sleep with each other because that's going to happen anyway, teenagers are crazy filled with hormones - so they should be able to get contraceptives and stuff without any worry of legal repercussions if anyone finds out.

    I just want everyone to be aware that healthy, well-adjusted teenage girls do not make a habit of seducing 40yo men. This woman was molested as a child, uses promiscuity as an attempt to "regain control", creates justifications rather than addressing her trauma, and projects her twisted attitudes toward sex onto the rest of society.

    That definition can cover quite a few autocratic or authorian systems like monarchy as an example. Facism isn't super hard to define if you know what to look for it's just the rubric always seems over the top and hyperbolic when applied contemporarily until whatever regime is being painted with the brush starts emulating Nazis on a 1:1 basis. The people who saw it coming from 10 years ago and ringing alarm bells were seeing fascist rhetoric back then and they weren't wrong it's just people don't veiw facism as being anything but it's worst fully realized iteration.

    The easiest guage is to see how much Nationalist sentiment there is paired with calls to return to a mythical golden age, populist rhetoric surrounding a figure with authoritarian sentiments, scapegoating of groups of "outsiders" vs a "rightful inheritor" narrative and active erosion of democratic structures.

    I'd wager that's just authoritative types and not fascists specifically. You can have an authoritarian fascist but bootlicking and subservience is a response to hierarchy and the social pressure to fall in line. While thinking critically with intellectual and ethical reasoning is always outside the desire of hierarchy enshrined in the status quo. Authority will always encourage sycophants.
