Honestly after watching this whole thing last night and fully processing it I woke up this morning in a weird mindstate.
shyt, this is why parts of Manhattan feel so goddamned EVIL at times walking through...especially near midtown. I seriously feel for the victims of sexual abuse, but I'm now starting to realize that this was a slow process that was made from the 80s to now...

I present to you and the rest of the coli this documentary from 2000 "The Merchants of Cool"
www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/cool/
It's from the same time period.
I present this mainly because it really displays how Hollywood has been sexualizing the youth and normalizing certain things in the media especially during the 90s up to the 2000s.
Please note the parts that talk about Dawson's Creek...which now looks very funny in the light now. It was a show about teens that were permiscuous and whatnot. One of the main storylines in the the first season was between Pace and his older Teacher. This scenario has panned out many times. Also, there's more about marketing in here.
