    Why are we laughing at what are most likely molestation victims from some of Epstein’s Hollywood buddies? Edit to fix a spelling error.

      That’s a seriously bold claim that you don’t bother to support at all and just take as common knowledge. After doing a few minutes of searching: what the absolute fuck are you even talking about?

      Genuinely the most I can find are a small handful of trashy outlets like The Sun (at the least trashy) talking about a baseless Twitter accusation against Bob Saget after his death and then – even as trashy as they are – unanimously arriving at the conclusion that Saget unequivocally did nothing to them. (To that end, I can’t even find anything about Saget having ever interacted with Epstein, so there’s a baseless, nonsense Twitter accusation – only discussed by the trashiest outlets who have every incentive to imply that it’s true for clicks but instead deny it completely – about a man with no connection to Epstein.)

      No names, no sources (probably because there’s jack shit), no anything, so what exactly the fuck are you basing “most likely” on?

        It needn’t be a conspiracy for it to be harmful. I remember a creepy countdown timer for when they (and others) turned 18. The projection of that, and the pressure to retain their childhood traits for profitability, can fuck someone up.

          Yeah, no, I totally agree that sexualization by the public when they were underage (even as adults) probably took a psychological toll, as it probably does on a lot of teen stars (and IIRC it was quite bad with Mary-Kate & Ashley).

          That is a completely different statement from “they were most likely molested by some of Epstein’s Hollywood buddies”.

            I don’t think we even need to go that far. They were almost constantly making those direct to VHS movies and such they churned out in huge numbers, and I don’t think it was easy on them. I’m convinced they were overworked as children.

              my SPECULATIVE STATEMENT.

              Pfffffffffffffft. What a chode. “I hedged with ‘most likely’ bro so you can’t poke holes in the ridiculous bullshit I’m asserting with zero evidence.” You’d be really good at JAQing off. “Were the Olsen twins sold into sex slavery on Epstein’s Island? We can’t say for sure, but it’s impossible to rule out.”

          Hence why I said what I said. Hollywood is full of sexually deviant executives, my speculative statement isn’t a stretch.

            “There’s more than a 50% chance that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were sexually molested by multiple (you decided to pluralize it; not me) Epstein affiliates in Hollywood” is a massive stretch that you present zero evidence for and confidently assert. It’s becoming increasingly clear with your responses that you genuinely have a problem.
