Doesn't surprise me at all, and actually I'm sure that the Japanese entertainment industry is just as bad. AKB48 specifically is probably just flat out a loli orgy for the producers.

I will never understand the motivation behind bands so big they need to be split into seperate "teams", each in the double digits.

OMG, i wiki'ed that shit. Both iCarly girls are of age. NO MORE SHAME. I'M COMIN' OUT!

It may surprise a lot of people to realize a lot of children entertainers are not children themselves, but just look younger than their age.

It surprised me how quickly my pants went from on to around my ankles, sure.

I guess big_z can type, but can't - or didn't - read Duckroll's post.

I can only see his post because it's quoted, because I ignore-listed him for the same shit.

nah i sometimes leave windows open without refreshing. people wouldnt bring it up so much if it wasnt becoming such an apparent issue.

Selena lost about 3 pounds in her face.

Now that she's become old and unattractive who should I fawn over?

turn on the disney channel for a day and im sure you'll find someone. or you could explore the depths of 4chan and have others do the work for you.

dude is like 35 and played a 16 year old.

anyway i dont know if Corey Feldman is the best source to judge how bad things are. it might have been worse years ago but today i would imagine studios make and effort to make sure shit like this doesnt happen. a pedophile lawsuit would be costly and likely destroy a company in todays world.

Thought it was best to respond after you edited with the bolded, I was being satirical.

I think it's ridiculous how the word gets used on GAF. According to some members, you're a paedophile if you like My Little Pony, or if you think a 17 - 19 year old girl is hot. It's probably one of the most misused words here and I shouldn't have played it, even ironically.

My mistake. But honestly it's hard to know when people are being serious with this, as you said yourself it's pretty ridiculous at times.

 

[charsace]

I thought it was well known that a lot of people whore themselves out or are forced into terrible positions to be famous. Its why some crappy actor that no one likes gets pushed hard at times. Blake Lively has been Harvey Weinstein's bitch for example.

[DeaconKnowledge]

This is just me (Can't speak for anyone else) But I'm at an age now where I'll always see girls like Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift as children, even though they're being highly sexualized and legal everywhere. They still have that…child like look. I could never look at any of them sexually. Ugh.

 

[Sennorin]

According to former child star Corey Feldman, child molestation is rampant in the entertainment industry, as he told Nightline in an interview.

So the problem isn´t pedophilia, but child molestation. Pedophilia here is as much of a problem as heterosexuality when linked to rape.

Seriously, I start to feel like people *enjoy* shitting on pedophiles, without realizing what they´re doing. While they´re proceeding with their modern day-witch hunt, the real criminals continue their horrible crimes. But beware of some peaceful guys that will never do anything and deserve our pitty because of their societal incompatible sexual attraction. *shakes head*

 

[Barrett2]

I sense some projection going on here.

That's what I always think when I read these threads. Like, the amount of people who come out of the woodwork to loudly proclaim they find every 16 year old girl to look like a prepubescent child and the thought of any sexual attraction to someone younger than 20 makes them ill. Really?

On topic: Though I have no idea if Feldman is telling the truth, it sadly wouldn't surprise me to hear just how fucked up Hollywood can be. When part of your town's image and history is built on the premise of teenage girls and boys literally running away from home and fleeing to Southern California for fame based partly on their looks, it doesn't take a genius to realize that will create a billion opportunities for exploitation. But again, IMO, there is still miles of difference between some Hollywood producer who bangs a 16 year old, vs one who molests an 8 year old. Those are very different things.

Kinda doubt she stayed a virgin long, especially before 18

At the very least pedophiles create a market for child porn. At the very worst they molest kids. I don't think you're going to find much sympathy for these poor souls.

 

[charsace]

I doubt it. Gretchen Mol could not get huge roles because of Weinstein. A young actor turning down someone with power could have a really hard time breaking out if that person decides to blacklist them.

No. Are you seriously saying that every pedophile "at least" owns child porn? wtf

 

[Morn]

Wait, was he just defending pedos?

WTF GAF.

WTF.

[LCGeek]

Don't go west exposed this point to me and it did much better than feldman did. This issue never will be fixed because society will never go after the culprits at the top of the pyramid only the abusers on the bottom.

 

[Snowman Prophet of Doom]

This is one of the funniest pictures that I've seen in a looooooong time. Holy shit.

Anyway, somebody in the Polanski thread made a good point: is it that Hollywood is full of pedos, or did the Hollywood pedos of Feldman's time gravitate toward him because of his celebrity? It's a worthwhile question either way, but his refusal to name names strikes me as cowardly, even if personally rational.

 

[G-Fex]

If I could I'd mind crush this thread into oblivion.

Its pretty hard to name people when you know someone can destroy you.

 

[G-Fex]

Um...wat.

 

[crimzonflame]

This reminds me of when that guy from B2K named names, then went 'missing' for a few days only to back and deny everything.

 

[Snowman Prophet of Doom]

That's why I said that it was personally rational but still cowardly. He could help a generation of kids escape this kind of mistreatment and abuse, but he chooses to think first and foremost about his own personal welfare. It's understandable, but I still think it should be condemned, if only to maybe embolden somebody else who is willing to name names and situations to come forward.

 

[nVidiot_Whore]

Not sure if this is the best place to ask.

How does someone become a Hollywood director? Specifically, a casting director?

Naming people would do nothing. They have the power, wealth and connections to discredit and beat someone like Feldman. And then they would crush him.

The only type of victim that would have a chance is a young kid that comes forward right now.

 

[X26]

I think he's defending pedos who were born with that mentality, but don't act on it in any way

although most would argue no one is ever born a pedo

Blow jobs obviously.

pedophiles who do not consume child pornography or attack children deserve defending as much as anyone else.

People tend to take things like sexual abuse accusations pretty seriously. I don't think this is the case for this particular crime.

As in, "who actually does stay a virgin for long, especially before 18?"

Surely, a minority of people.

 

[freenudemacusers]

are you motorboating a 14 year old?

Pretty sure all of them posted in that thread are legal here.

Does not change the creepy status.

On topic, the treatment of Victor Salva (Powder, Jeepers Creepers franchise), is pretty disgusting and says quite a lot IMO.

Just like the gays... most would argue.

[C.Dark.DN]

Feldman is obviously using the law enforcement term, pedophilia as those who act on their desires.

If a large percentage of the pedophiles in Hollywood kept their desires in their head, there wouldn't be much of a problem would there?

oh hai GAF

Doesn't surprise me in the least. In fact, it explains a lot.

Holy shit at that youtube video.

Seriously, I've never heard about a real deal child sex ring involving government workers on that sort of scale. Fucking humans.

 

[G-Fex]

Yup, purely a small portion remain untouched til 18

 

[Snowman Prophet of Doom]

Also, I really think pedophilia is better explained as a maladjustment to one's own sexual orientation rather than an orientation itself. One is obviously attracted to other children of whatever gender when one is a child as well, and an inability to move beyond that attraction to children developed when young strikes me as a developmental retardation of some kind, not a legitimate sexual preference unto itself. I don't think it's comparable to homosexuality or bisexuality in that regard; maybe it could be a fetish, but even that seems a bit generous, to me.

 

[Suairyu]

By choice or by circumstance?

By choice. Even discounting rape and statutory rape, waiting until 18 has to be uncommon? I was a late bloomer as a teen because it wasn't until 17 I lost mine (that being in a country where the legal age is 16).
