@slightinterest @SeattleBust @IFHYDYC @RyanTheTwit Have you read the graduate? Looked at the responses from that story. People dislike Mrs. Robinson for this exact reason.
@slightinterest @IFHYDYC @SeattleBust @RyanTheTwit Yes. I do. Im concerned about the issues of their brain still developing and lack of experience. This makes them easily exploitable. Even if I didnt consider that problematic, a 2 decade age gap and a weird power dynamic is cause for concern as well.
@slightinterest @IFHYDYC @SeattleBust @RyanTheTwit There's a reason the drinking age is 21. Fully formed prefrontal context. These girls were practically children, and Haywood took advantage of that.
@ryanrules25@generalvanessa@AE_Iven @_StevePotter @RyanTheTwit Ryan was a safe space for a lot of people, including me. Now it's taken away. I get how hard that can be, but what he did was wrong. He's ruined years worth of content. I get that that's hard, but je purposefully preyed on vunerable fans. That's not right. End of story.
@ryanrules25@generalvanessa@AE_Iven @_StevePotter @RyanTheTwit Im literally in the same boat as you. But Im not going to ignore what he did. What he did was wrong. What he did isnt for us to forgive. I get you look up to him. Hes been one of my favorite content creators for half a decade. But he needs to face the consequences of his actions.
@generalvanessa@AE_Iven@ryanrules25 @_StevePotter @RyanTheTwit Even if this wasn't the case, what he still did was unforgivable. He preyed on girls who were young, impressionable, and had mental illnesses. He used his status and influence to cheat on his wife with vulnerable fans. How are you still defending him?
@generalvanessa@AE_Iven@ryanrules25 @_StevePotter @RyanTheTwit I just want to say, (to Iven, not vanessa), that this isnt an issue of legality. It's an issue or morality. The AOC in Texas is 17, and no one below that age has come out as far as I know. The only definite legal issue has to do with child pornography laws. 1/2
Nothing will rot a manโs mind more than having a big online audience. It becomes so much easier to listen to how much you rule, like an endless radio station of self-service, than to ever put your own behavior in check. I know from experience. Counseling of some kind is a must.
@pedro_caridad @hspnicathediso @_TrevorC An age gap of nearly 2 decades adds to a power imbalance that already existed in their situation. It does, actually, matter.
