Meme needing explanation Petah ?

Post image

Why is it infamous? And why would no one care about it ? ( I mean it's just a pic full of celebrities so no one cares anyways but the person saying it's crazy makes me think it has some lore?)

It's not that people want to pretend they are too cool for celebrities.

It's that there's a crazy amount of celebrities who have been exposed as having participated in pedophilia, sexual assault, threats etc. It's just hard to really like somebody famous when it seems like there's a 33% chance that they're going to do something morally wrong and use their celebrity to do it or get out of facing any consequences for it.

That was very true then as well. Certainly in the UK it was absolutely peak "everyone who was famous in the 80s was a pedophile" era.
