    It needn’t be a conspiracy for it to be harmful. I remember a creepy countdown timer for when they (and others) turned 18. The projection of that, and the pressure to retain their childhood traits for profitability, can fuck someone up.

      Yeah, no, I totally agree that sexualization by the public when they were underage (even as adults) probably took a psychological toll, as it probably does on a lot of teen stars (and IIRC it was quite bad with Mary-Kate & Ashley).

      That is a completely different statement from “they were most likely molested by some of Epstein’s Hollywood buddies”.

        I don’t think we even need to go that far. They were almost constantly making those direct to VHS movies and such they churned out in huge numbers, and I don’t think it was easy on them. I’m convinced they were overworked as children.

          my SPECULATIVE STATEMENT.

          Pfffffffffffffft. What a chode. “I hedged with ‘most likely’ bro so you can’t poke holes in the ridiculous bullshit I’m asserting with zero evidence.” You’d be really good at JAQing off. “Were the Olsen twins sold into sex slavery on Epstein’s Island? We can’t say for sure, but it’s impossible to rule out.”

              Nobody is defending pedophiles. They’re defending the necessity of some form of proof of your claim besides, “I feel like…” and otherwise baseless allegations.

              Do you have anything better to do than make false claims on the internet that you know nothing about and have no evidence (even circumstantial) besides, “my gut tells me…”

              Touch grass and eat ants.

                Typical American, wasting your time arguing with someone they think is a troll instead of stopping Trump from ruining the planet.

                It’s your fault he hurts children.

                  YES. The children were raped because the piece of paper that I checked Not Trump onto was supposed to stop him from raping children. It’s like a piece of paper is all it takes to stop anyone from doing anything.

                  I sincerely hope you’re sterile, no need to pass your insanity to another generation.

      Hence why I said what I said. Hollywood is full of sexually deviant executives, my speculative statement isn’t a stretch.
