So by now it's safe to say it's a wrap for Jarne. Other than the reductive drivel by the likes of beefy lad (Atwood, Nabokov, really?), it seems we all agree this is unacceptable. Would be good to see companies make statements but not holding my breath.
He is clearly not taking it well. Adding insult to injury, all his own scummy doing. Surely any sort of sympathy his way is a kookable offense right now. Understandably so. This is a purge and he's laying into it like a dumbass creep and it merits scorn. That said the 'kill yoself sentiment' expressed in places bums me out. Two wrongs etc. But maybe insta is just not for me.
Also the 'pedo is a way of life in Europe' idea is absurd. On a par with 'Scandinavia is a commie state!' (Of course we have plenty of sweeping ideas about you guys, as well.) But to be clear about this: age of consent laws are still interpretable by judges, so that even after 16, power imbalance and compromised consent are taken into account. Belgian consent laws are broadly identical to Alabaman ones, by the way. Not to mention public opinion, which doesn't take kindly to this type of thing at all.
