Katy Perry grabs Justin Bieber's butt in resurfaced video from 2012

There’s that award show where a female presenter kisses him and he says no and says that’s assault or something similar and the crowd just cheers and laughs.

I still don't understand it cuz he legit looked like a toddler at the time.

This was also around the peak of the Justin Bieber hate train, which many adults were a part of. I’m around a decade his junior and even I knew as a little kid that the hate was weird and extreme. Critics were calling "Baby" the worst song ever, when it's just an average corny pop song by a child. The same hate for "Friday" by Rebecca Black around that time was also weird af. With what Justin went through, it's commendable that he's still alive and well.

The Kardashians were also extremely weird around him when he was underage

It’s not just him. Underage actresses/pop stars are constantly sexualied. Some even had “countdown clocks” for until they turned 18.

Would it be weird if he was a girl.

Sexually deprived “astronaut”

All that time in space makes one horny. Like, you try going 8.5 minutes without gooning. Impossible.

No wonder why she defended Dr. Luke 🙄

No. She was likely extremely suppressed growing up in that conservative Christian household. I would know. I also grew up in something similar, though I didn’t struggle with harassing or assaulting people. I’m not condoning her actions, but these conservative households have a way of pushing certain people to do this stuff.

she's the only celeb i've ever felt like i'm being forced to see half/mostly naked.

There is a clip where she is hosting some event and is introducing Bo Burnham in an extremely creepy way. He responded by saying "Thank you Mrs Perry". It seems like creepy inappropriate behaviour towards young guys (Bo had just turned 18 at this point) is a pattern for her.

It’s fascinating so many people are saying the Ruby Rose thing could not possibly be true when there is a (still growing) mountain of evidence that she has zero respect for others’ boundaries or consent.

I’d like her to grab me.

I was a homeschooled church kid... am I a horndog? Yes, but only consensually.

Part of me wonders if she, like a lot of such kids, was abused herself and that partly explains why she has no concept of boundaries.

As a homeschooled hippie kid, where do we fall in this theorem?

No one seems to remember her interaction with Bo Burnham either. Patterns.

None of that matters.. he was a child she was a grown adult.

Link it or it didn't happen buddy Anyone who says "BUT CONTEXT" in response to evidence of sexual assault has the burden of proving that context.

>Were she a man, she'd have been charged by now. This is laughable

No one is saying she should get a pass, it took a long time to get Weinstein charged. It takes a long time with men too. Everyone is saying she should go down and no one is saying she is ok.

>Were she a man, she'd have been charged by now. Thinking men are held accountable for sexual assault - laughable. Edit: I decided I was going to explain the issue with your argument. Whenever a man is sexually harassed or assaulted by a woman this argument between genders gets dragged out: the idea being that women are protected as predators because *men are held to a much higher standard and scrutiny when it comes to sexual assault* than women. That is so unbelievably false. Men are overwhelming the perpetrators of sexual assault and harassment and face no consequences in almost every instance. Even when they do have consequences or found guilty they get to be president, musicians, athletes, wildly successful still. Men do not get cancelled for violence against women. Men will face more scrutiny in feminized work with children as suspected predators, such as teachers or caregivers. But suggesting a man would have already been charged with these allegations is laughable. Now, it is completely true that male victims of sexual harassment and sexual assault do face a gendered barrier from the toxic mentality that "men can't be assaulted by women"; the intersection of toxic masculine culture to keep male victims silent and suffering. To be treated as a woman or have violence afflicted upon you that is normally reserved for women is a failing as a man and thus, cannot happen for men's strength and assumed sexual powers and desires: "you probably liked it!". It is such an unbelievably ugly argument. So instead of arguing that women get any sort of advantage or protection in sexual assault allegations or cases - which is an insidious argument made by far right campaigns to remove accountability from men in a violent act that is predominantly used against women, and only show compassion for victims when it's men. Instead: amplify that anyone can be a victim of sexual assault, we should believe victims when they come forward, and offer unique support to male victims due to the gendered barriers in their access to justice and support. Do you see how these arguments are different and one supports male victims and the other seems to only drive an agenda?

Exactly. Taylor Swift went to court over someone grabbing her ass, and she had every right in the world to do that. And she won.

“Amen!” - Harvey Weinstein

Not surprising considering this behaviour. Mildly surprising she's (relatively speaking) got a pass for it for so long though, even post-MeToo

The way she dances makes me laugh

We have that’s the thing.

The smear campaigns are real; the question is, why now? Who’s driving this?

Yeah, I’ve had friends slap or grab my arse as a joke and I don’t really give a flying f*** lol.

Wasn't he a minor and she was a grown adult? But it's ok because she's a woman and he asked for it

Imagine thinking that by criticising one sex offender you are... supporting other sex offenders? This logic is impressively strange.

What the hell are you on about?

... Nobody is saying that. Nothing about this post is implying that. There's no comparison to be made here. What an odd thing to say.

What? Listnook does that all the time. I literally just got done typing a comment out saying something like that elsewhere 5mins ago. But some random posts about this and you're like "List every single sexual predator in recent history before acting like Katy is the **worst of all time** 😡" No one even said that. Get ahold of yourself

What Kanye did isn’t that bad because Hitler existed!! -basically you

Oh I’m sure she’s thrilled

> No one seemed to care. They did care. They just didn't want to face the issues that would have arisen by calling him out.

When was this exactly? Willing to bet it’s recent enough to have been considered sexual harassment at the time

Yea, that wasn't ok.

Different time? This ain’t the 70s

Uh, maybe 50+ years ago that was tolerated. Not in the 2010's

Did the GN slap your butt?

Dude it was 2012, not 2002
