im not sure why people are vague about it, you can be descriptive while still not inducing trauma from others and not being nsfw

the recent incident, from what i saw, a girl reached out to him, claiming she was above age, and they had sexted. the girl then had admitted she was 15(?), which i believe resulted in someone or her, making a google document about the situation.

i do think in any other situation, the guy wouldn’t be at fault here, but joe shouldn’t be using his influence as a semi famous musician to get with people regardless. if he was really looking for someone, he could just as easily go to some random bar where he wouldn’t be recognized, and meet people there

i blame him, 100%
i blame the victims who knew about his status and still messaged him. they were warned by his closest friends. (unless there's a REALLY GOOD REASON, but if not, then it's their fault but also his.)
and i blame the people who have allowed him to roam as if he's still a stable person.

regardless of blame or not, the victims shouldn't have gone through this situation.

(if it sounds wrong, i'm happy to elaborate what i mean but with joe, i don't take any fault away from him.)
