    I always thought it was weird when certain friends celebrated when they turned 18. These poor girls have been exploited since their birth. IDK it just seemed very weird.

      That one Robot Chicken skit:

      Onlookers as Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen enter a building

      “I’m so excited!”

      “Why?”

      “Because… they’re ‘legal.’”

      “Dude, you’re 35.”

    Now does the same one always look like they just smelt it and the other like they just dealt the fart?

    I shall name the first one Hodos (ὁδός) and the other Ora (ώρα). For the words way and time (as in the time something happens).

    Their blessing is bounded by the curse of not knowing that knowing mine is the cause of their demise.

    Why are we laughing at what are most likely molestation victims from some of Epstein’s Hollywood buddies? Edit to fix a spelling error.

      That’s a seriously bold claim that you don’t bother to support at all and just take as common knowledge. After doing a few minutes of searching: what the absolute fuck are you even talking about?

      Genuinely the most I can find are a small handful of trashy outlets like The Sun (at the least trashy) talking about a baseless Twitter accusation against Bob Saget after his death and then – even as trashy as they are – unanimously arriving at the conclusion that Saget unequivocally did nothing to them. (To that end, I can’t even find anything about Saget having ever interacted with Epstein, so there’s a baseless, nonsense Twitter accusation – only discussed by the trashiest outlets who have every incentive to imply that it’s true for clicks but instead deny it completely – about a man with no connection to Epstein.)

      No names, no sources (probably because there’s jack shit), no anything, so what exactly the fuck are you basing “most likely” on?

        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.

              Did I make you uncomfortable with consuming the lives of the Olsen twins like a cheap and disposable drug?

              Dude holy shit, seek help. I have never once in my life given an iota of a shit about the Olsen twins or anything they’ve been involved with. I might’ve seen one episode of Full House by coincidence, and I played an nth-hand copy of Mary-Kate and Ashley: Sweet 16 – Licensed to Drive for the PS2 two decades after its release (when the twins were nearly 40 and the publisher and developer had been defunct for years) for about 30 minutes as a gag. This is the first time I can remember seeing a picture of the Olsen twins in years, and I only responded to your comment because it’s so insane (I genuinely knew so little that I assumed I’d completely missed out on a scandal and tried in good faith to find out what happened).

              Your willingness to assume anything without evidence as long as it feels correct to you is staggering.
