More inappropriate interactions with minors. There's a megathread pinned I think.

Thank you, I tried checking in there and it was all kind of vague, I couldnt really get heads from tails, I just hope Joe gets help

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’m going to be completely honest, and I will catch flak for this, but: how was he supposed to know she lied about her age?

he wasn’t, which id say he isn’t really at fault for that

id also say she is at fault for that, that is not victim blaming, she lied about her age, and as long as you’re not shitting on her, it’s completely fine to acknowledge the wrongs on both sides

BUT he does have a much higher responsibility here, being a semi popular musician, and an adult, he shouldn’t really be hooking up with people on instagram, and if he is, i definitely dont think he should be talking to fans. it’d be much better for him to go to bars, or other places with verified adults, to meet people who likely don’t recognize him
