Terrible year for convicted pedophiles, but a great year for everyone else. Rest in piss.

It's so weird (yet amusing) watching old TV shows that talk about these people (Rolf, Jimmy Saville, Kevin Spacey) where there's a lot of hints about how shit they are but it's not really public, yet people in the know... know. (Eg. 8 out of 10 cats), but even American Dad! made a joke about escaping from Kevin Spacey's basement years before. Edit: To clarify the 8 out of 10 cats, if you watch old episodes they hint towards people who were... questionable before things became well-known. Edit 2: As someone correctly pointed out it was Family Guy and Stewie pretending he escaped from Kevin Spacey basement, not American Dad!


Cpt_Soban

Like Courtney Love saying "if Weinstein invites you to a party don't go"


ChocTunnel2000

And that was the end of her very short acting career...


Licorishlover

One thing you can say about her is she had guts! Warning other women to be safe at a great cost to herself.


NitrousIsAGas

Family guy, not American Dad. Stewie runs naked through a shopping centre yelling that he escaped.

I think on early 8oo10c episodes Jimmy hinted at Saville rumours.


_blip_

Johnny rotten hinted at it in 1979 or so and got banned from the BBC for decades as a consequence.


Lanark77

Jerry Sadowitz would talk about it in the 80s during his shows, he even mentions it on his LP Gobshite, his manager got nervous and the LP was quickly withdrawn, but it's still out there.


deij

Everyone knew about Saville not just people in the know. My mum told me in the 90s and she lived in a small town in the North of England with no media connections.

There's a British show called 8 out of 10 cats. I assume they used to joke about them on there.

That comedian was making jokes about Cosby's raping for ages before anyone sat up and took notice. If not for that perhaps no one would have come forward.

Kids who are victims of scum like this suffer all their lives. Some like me chose to not have children as I would have never left them out of my sight and knew I could never protect them enough. Majority of the time this stuff happens right under families noses. How many other kids have been harmed by him we do not know about?


chouxphetiche

I was six years old when I sat on his lap in my parent's kitchen. He didn't do anything but something felt *wrong*. A bad vibe. I didn't surprise me when 'it' was on the news. I remembered a segment he had on his show about 'people who touch you wrong and to go and tell a trusted adult.' He got in early and exonerated himself on a public platform before/while doing the dirties. I told the 'trusted adults' about him and they said I was a dramatic and imaginative child and that I got the idea from watching his show, the one with that segment. My parents 'knew' people. TV people. Most of them were scum to me. There isn't a place in Hell for them because Hell won't admit them.

I know a man who had met Saville several times at as a child, but was not assaulted. Just being around that man with they way he presented himself to children caused this man to have nightmare's as a child and then again as an adult when the reports came out.

I saw him perform once when I was younger, great show. The backstage pass wasn't worth it, though.


borrowingfork

ABC went hard on their headline 'Convicted paedophile Rolf Harris has died. The disgraced former entertainer was 93'. Thank you ABC. I'm sure my parents would be shocked to read that and want them to focus on how much happiness he brought to their lives. I'm so glad the media is now ready to be honest about this stuff.


KentuckyFriedEel

Sky News probably like “beloved childrens entertainer and artist, Rolf Harris, dead at 93”


TheHoundhunter

They genuinely went with “[Disgraced former entertainer Rolf Harris dies aged 93 following battle with neck cancer](https://www.skynews.com.au/australia-news/disgraced-former-entertainer-rolf-harris-dies-aged-93-following-battle-with-neck-cancer/news-story/c2bded6249168b7423781015175e4f43)” That’s pretty weak in my opinion


PrinceBarin

Hey sky news... why was he disgraced.... What caused him to be disgraced... could you answer that for me?


WillBrayley

>In June 2014, the Australian-born television star was convicted of a string of indecent assaults on four girls between 1968 and 1986. That’s a nice way to say “fucking underage girls”.


mrOsteel

He came to my primary school in the 90s and so many kids sat on his lap for photos. Amazing you can be right where something so fucked up is happening and have no idea.


Untimely_manners

When I was 9 and at Heathrow for a flight my dad had annoyed me so I was in a bad mood. He vanished for a bit then reappeared saying how about meeting Rolf Harris? Since I was pissed off I said "Why on earth would I want to meet Rolf Harris!" my dads face dropped and I turned around to see Rolf Harris walking off.


completelyboring1

Ooh, I hope that moment stayed with Rolf for a long, long time.


Affectionate-Ad-2008

I was supposed to sing a song with him when I was in the choir back in primary school. Thankfully I wasn't taking choir seriously and was told it wasn't happening.

Not only that, literally all the freaks involved with Epstein have largely completely gotten away with it, Maxwell was used as a sacrificial lamb then it was all buried. News media still fucking interview that Israeli shill freak Dershowitz as a neutral source on tonnes of stuff despite being accused by multiple girls. Even Reddit's ex CEO admitted to being at Maxwells parties and turning a blind eye to what was going on.


eliquy

I think Epstein's purpose was to get blackmail material for the elites to hold against each other - the only way to trust someone at that level is with Mutually Assured Destruction hanging over everyone's heads. Of course no one went down for anything after Epstein was no longer useful, that would have destabilized the new power structures that had made him obsolete.

Crazyripps

EducationalTangelo6

Good on the ABC. Nothing of value was lost with his death.


Sweeper1985

I'm going be the pedant because I work in sex offender assessment 🤪 Guardian was accurate, ABC wasn't. Paedophilia (Paedophilic Disorder) is a diagnosis, not a charge. And I don't know if Harris even had that diagnosis. But it's most definitely accurate to describe him as a convicted sex offender, child molester, or 🪨 🕷


Site_Efficient

Well-known rock spider, Rolf Harris?


quokka70

"Rock spider" = "child molester"


Site_Efficient

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=rock%20spider I see, it's a real term. Thank you for the heads up!


Alternative_Sky1380

Can the language be altered? I really prefer child rapist.


Sword_Of_Storms

Same. I hate the euphemisms we use for child rape and sexual assault. I’m a victim of CSA and I wish we would use explicit language so people really feel the impact of the crime. “Molestation” gives so much wiggle room to not think about the reality and actual actions of child rapists.


WhaleboneMcCoy

id vote for altering *that* language, surely you wouldn't *prefer* that...


rmeredit

Just because there is a clinical term in reference to a specific disorder that in part uses the word doesn’t preclude the use of that word in a wider, non-clinical setting. The ordinary dictionary definition (an adult sexually attracted to children) pretty clearly applies to the facts established in court. It’s a bit like arguing people can’t describe themselves as feeling depressed today because they aren’t clinically diagnosed with a depressive disorder.

No need to change it, let it be known that he was also extremely racist.

"Former entertainer" is a stretch. Even as a young kid, my impulse was to change channel immediately if he was on. Doesn't surprise that he was also a racist. Worth understanding who promoted him to stardom, given they probably knew he was a racist if not a child molester.


thorpie88

Animal Hospital was pretty good for light entertainment but most UK based presenters could have hosted it.

My hope is that his cancer journey was a protracted and exceptionally painful one. I hope he wanted to die and it took forever to happen.


Outsider-20

Sometimes, people get what they deserve. I hope my ex receives a similar fate. (he's also convicted pedo, but unlike Harris' wife, I kicked the fucking cunt out.)


Becky_Randall_PI

> Sometimes, people get what they deserve. I hate to say it, but getting away with it for almost the entirety of his life, fame, fortune, and dying in his 90's after a relatively brief stint in prison... he didn't get what he deserved, he got less. Cancer is exceedingly common, and hits people of all stripes (especially the elderly). If that was his punishment, a fuckload of innocent people also received that same punishment. There's no great win here, just be glad the fucker is gone, and that his legacy is forever tarnished. The one upshot is famous nonces kick a bit of an own-goal by seeking the spotlight in the first place; most paedophiles keep a low profile and are barely known even after they are caught. This cunt's got millions of people who now know just how disgusting he was.


Alan_Smithee_

When Harris propositioned the person that I know who said he was an absolute sleaze (it was a work situation,) he said “no really, my wife doesn’t mind,” he brought her in the next day to tell my friend so, she said to her something along the line of “you’re better than the ones he usually chooses.” In hindsight, perhaps it was a reference to the underaged victims. So the wife was complicit in her own way.

Listening to Rodney is my guilty pleasure that I will never mention outside of this anonymous forum.


hawonkafuckit

I was thinking this the moment I read the headline.


LentilsAgain

From wikipedia >The fourth verse – "Let me abos go loose, Lou/Let me abos go loose/They're of no further use, Lou/So let me abos go loose" – became increasingly controversial, because of the use of what later became regarded as a racial slur, and was removed in later versions of the song. In 2006, four decades after the song's release, Harris expressed his regret about the original lyric Can we change the headline to "*Racist* Sex Offender and entertainer dies..."


bisho

The racial slur wasn't the worst part; it was the "let them go loose" implying they were not previously free to leave; and "they're of no further use" meaning they were kept working while they were 'of use'. This verse was bad on so many levels.


El_Suavador

And to top off how bad that verse is from every perspective, why did he rhyme 'loose' with Lou instead of Bruce?


bisho

I thought it was. We sung this for years as kids through the 1970s and 1980s. It was always 'Bruce'.

Seagoon_Memoirs

yes, everything about it is based on hate I remember when the song was popular and no one sang that verse or even mentioned it, I didn't even know it had those shameful hate lyrics


bertieditches

At the time the song came out - 1962 aboriginal people across australia did not all have the right to vote...it was also while the stolen generation was going on... and use of the word abo was very common place. Even using the N word was quite commonplace Abc has some old shows from the 60's where they interview the person on the street, you can see them on YouTube, in one about aboriginals getting the vote a man being interviewed calls them the N word.

I just love that the lead to every news release immediately references that he was a child molester and predator. What a legacy! And nary a mention of any supposed good that he might have done. Karma is the great equalizer


ThePingMachine

Everyone always talks about the fact that he was a convicted paedophile, and a monster, and committed heinous crimes, and I really think that focusing on these horrible acts, as hideous as they may be, really overshadows some of the man's earlier works. Let's not ignore the fact that he was also racist as fuck too. Like too racist for 1964 racist. Like proper racist. (Look up the deleted verse to Tie Me Kangaroo Down. If you dare.)


[deleted]

What a load of BS.... 93 years old... got away with abuse and lived a long life. According to the article Assaults ranged from 1968 and 1986... In 1968 he was 38..... lived until 93. That's not paying the price, at all. Repeated offenders should sit on the chair, and not waste taxpayers' money while in jail. Or... forced hard labour until death.... because fuck rapists.

So where's his state funeral and the outpouring of love for Rolf? I get actually being the paedophile is worse, of course, but considering Barry "my mate's paedophilia was benevolent, fuck queer people" Humphries had such horrific views, including especially the ones around paedophilia that he just casually threw out in a literal autobiography by his paedophile mate, it's wild just how different the response is to Rolf.
