    For Americans: In many ways, this was the British equivalent of what happened with Bill Cosby. Beloved entertainer/comedian known for entertaining both children and adults who was so revered that a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II he painted hung in Buckingham Palace turned out to have been a pedophile serial rapist.

    Pretty much the only big difference was that Harris made it even worse by preying on children.

    I am still waiting for the skeletons in Mr. Roger’s closet. Too pure. Inhuman. Nobody can be that genuine, right?

    Doesn’t that title imply that children can consent? That’s maybe not the best message? Lol

      When it comes from a pedo it gives victim blaming vibes. Like “she could have said no!” As a reason for why it was okay.

    This is the equivalent of putting “anti-abuse” in your bio.
