I'll admit I'm surprised. I really thought hard evidence of him being a pedo could come out and there'd suddenly be a wave of explanations justifying why fucking kids isn't so bad. The backlash starting without the evidence coming out yet gives me a tiny sliver of hope.

I hate to tell you, it’s not actually “backlash,” until it’s on Fox News and they’re saying “sex with children,” otherwise it’s just this week’s thing—like that shooting someone on fifth avenue comment, or the pussy grab rape confession. They actually love it.
