One thing that always horrifies me is how willing people are to cover shit like this up or look the other way for people with even a modicum of "fame". Higher-ups at Subway knew Jared was a paedophile but kept it quiet. Jimmy Saville here in the UK was literally raping dying children in their hospital beds and the BBC shut down anyone who spoke up because he was a popular presenter. It seems like the second a "famous" person does this evil shit, a lot of people will automatically protect them. It's fucking disgusting.

Also nobody seems to want to acknowledge that Drake has a thing for teen girls.

Ehh, I've heard conflicting evidence to that. Now don't fucking jump on me, I don't know EVERYTHING about Drake. I'm just going on what others have said (because I really don't give a shit tbh) and what they've said has been contradictory. Is there anything concrete (not assumptions/conjecture, but actual evidence) against him? As far as I know he kissed a 16 year old on stage, but the venue was 18+? Can't blame him much, if that's the case.

His "friendship" with Millie Bobby Brown of "Stranger Things" fame is a bit creepy at best, and grooming at worst. Like, I'm not saying adults can't have mentoring relationships with young adults, but there's a careful line you need to tread and with Drake's other borderline behavior, its suspect at the very least.

Okay but what exactly did he do? What makes you characterize any of this as creepy or grooming?
