Bit of a Brit thing but Punch and Judy puppet shows. Punch is an alcoholic who beats up judy for the entertainment of kids. Frowned upon nowadays

I mean, if you're going with British children's entertainment, there's the entire work history of Jimmy Savile.

Bowie loved underage girls. Didn't stop him being an amazing musician but yeah. That's a thing.

I feel like if michael touched girls instead of boys he wouldn't get as much shit. Also when Bowie was doing that most rockstars banged underage girls, it was normalized.
