Producer and musician Sean Combs was sued in federal court on Thursday by his former girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie, whose real name is Casandra Ventura, who alleges she was raped and subjected to years of physical and other abuse by Combs.
I don’t have any stakes in this but every time there is a new “scandal” of some sort of celebrity being creepy and perverted I can’t help but wonder what the victims were expecting initially.
Since the invention of the rockstar concept sexual deviancy and substance abuse have openly been a part of the package. Being scandalous is the very essence of it.
Now i don’t condone any of it, but if people seek out someone with money and fame as their partner, how can they possibly be surprised by that? It’s even part of the initial attraction.
Fair enough, that’s not my intent. The question still stands though. People are not fucking stupid, where should the line be drawn? Is it victim blaming if I call someone who touches a hot stove an idiot? Probably not.
So I would say there is some sort of common sense that should be expected from people.
This is even worse than reddit tier armchair psychology.
I’m not a future rapist because I ask where compassion ends and idiocy begins. I don’t think it’s good that we have a caste of people above the law, but that’s how the world works. The rich can do whatever the fuck they want, which breeds extreme and deviant behaviors. That shouldn’t be news to anyone.

Kids don’t think like that tho. They don’t think in terms of sexual ulterior motives. Especially when they basically idolize the person.
Plus it also escalates. These kids get groomed. You think new altar boys go from heres the altar to plowed in the ass overnight?
Mr. Plow, that’s my name, that name again is Mr. Plow
Victim blaming is a garbage tier hot take.
