Questions That Will Get Me Cancelled, #114:
To the various celebrity women now suing and accusing Marilyn Manson of sexual predation and abuse: Please explain to me exactly what it was about a guy that looked like this and wrote songs about sexual sadism made you think "I really want to get naked with this guy!"
I don't know the whole story but I suppose you might say there are no circumstances where you deserve to be raped.
That said, I'm not surprised by anything he may have done. Never a fan of his nor his music.
That no one deserves to get raped should go without saying, however, I question someone who dates someone like this, who obviously has ...odd?... tastes, and not expect things to push the boundaries a bit. There's a very easy line to judge between getting freaky and getting raped, and that's the point where the woman says no at any time. I just wonder about the timing of her claim, since this is not the first time stuff like this has been said about him. The last time he was accused would've been a great time to bring it up.
Not saying it didn't happen, but I'm also not in the "automatically believe them" camp, either. It's like the senator describing porn, "I can't define it, but I know it when I see it" or something to that effect. Something about this story just doesn't add up for me.
