>>18162948Most of the accusations against her are incredibly overblown and stupid. Her behavior was definitely inappropriate at various points but the people pretending she actually wanted to fuck kids are retarded and caught up in mob mentality toxic gossip train bullshit unironically.
People went to her shows for like a decade where she did this shit constantly and not once did anyone complain about it or think it was "disgusting pedophile" behavior. She did it in front of full crowds of people and everyone was laughing and having a good time. Because the reality is that the stuff she did on stage that is now being labeled as abusive or grooming behavior was just harmless slightly gross humor that is now being demonized. They only have a problem with it now that people are presenting everything in snippets and giving it negative context. Like that idiot teenager who says that she "spread her legs on stage" and says that Colleen endangered her because then some dudes in the parking lot looked at her like she was a slut(as if they didn't already see her as one for how she was dressed). Teens are not pure, uncorrupted innocent lambs. They know what sex is and can handle a sex joke. Only in these ridiculous circumstances of witch hunting will we pretend otherwise.
The main bad things she did which she should apologize for is being way too open with teens about her own sexual life and goofing around with them about sex so casually and being WAY too close to them as a celebrity. She was obviously not trying to fuck them or she would have made more deliberate and obvious attempts to get nudes or sleep with them.
But nobody will bother forming a nuanced opinion like this because it will be seen as defending a pedophile so they'll all just condemn her and refuse to really think about the subject and just make fun of her stupid Ukulele song.
Thank you for attending my TED talk.
