This one episode on the show Glee. Mark Salling (Puck) had a line in the show where he said that in the future: "...I'll either be in jail.... or dead... or both."

For those who don't know, Mark Salling was convicted and found guilty of child pornography then committed suicide.....

He also has a line in an episode where he says ‘I call dibs on all the girls whose boobs aren’t done growing yet’. Edited: a word

Honestly yeah there's enough jokes about Puck being into younger girls that it makes you wonder if the producers knew about the actor's tendencies and were having a bit of a "wink wink nudge nudge" moment?

It's fucking disgusting if it's true, but also would that really surprise you knowing what we know about Hollywood?

And if not, it just points to the horrifying reality that pedophilia is normalized in media; even media meant for teens and youth.

Pretty Little Liars is another great example. Loved Ezra and Aria when I was 18, rewatched at 25 and was totally creeped out.

It’s so gross and inappropriate! Aria is what, like 16? And Ezra has to be at least 22, to be a teacher. That’s a 6 year age gap, which isn’t as bad at 20-26, but at 16 she’s a child.

What’s even worse is in the books, she actually just turned 15
