You need to take the cultural aspect into account - we are talking about a country where to this day one can legally marry a 12 year old.
There is no reason any culture can justify sexy anything with a _child_. Find me one example of where "the culture someone comes from" has a woman rolling like that with a boy who may not have even started puberty.
8,000 years ago, maybe that was kind normie for reasons other than shitty old men (lifespan, w/e), but that doesn't hold any water today.
I'm not saying any of this is equal, but there's no way I roll up into Tehran eating pork rinds and doing cosplay of the Prophet either.
This BS argument needs to be deaded.
We need to take all this into account.
I in no way, wish to ever deny someone's scientific contributions. We can't deny the genius of MJ and Bowie, but we sure as hell can incorporate the whole person into their legacy while we're singing along.
Also The way I see it, differentiate a persons personal life from whatever contributions they have from their professional life. A good example is Michael Jackson. You can love his music and hate him as a person. So it’s more split the legacy.
This also being said, I’d erase every pedo from the face of the earth given the chance.
And TBH I detest that you're sort of comparing Jackson to these Crowleyites.
