Nikolas said she heard one of her male teenage castmates say, “It’s like a cum shot.”
This kind of sexual based bullying took me back to a really shitty time growing up as a teenage girl. No one ever talks about how teenage girls are bullied by teenage boys in this way. IIt's a really shitty kind of othering that makes girls grow up associating sex with being humiliated.
This kind of teasing is what makes it hard for me as an adult to trust men when dating because I always imagine that when I'm not around they're laughing with their friends about me behind my back.
Fuck these pedo ass companies that allow this shit. Poor kid.
Sexual based bullying is a good way to put it. I remember when i was 14-16, it was pretty common for the boys in the class to just smack the ass of most girls in the class if they walked by. Something i'm sort of proud of is the fact that I never joined in on the harassment, even if my reasoning for it was the most Incel-shit imaginable. For the record, i don't think most grown adults do the whole "mocking your partner behind their back", but obviously that depends quite heavily on the type of person you're with. There might be a boomer-tier joke about "the wife only got to pick the color of the car" or "the husband only got to choose where the TV is located in the house" (both are jokes told to me by my coworkers within the past week)
Glad to hear it's a thing most people grow out of, at least.
It's hard to see all young women as sex objects when there is at least one you can't imagine having sex with and deeply care about as a person.
This guy goes through waves of exposure to the weird shit he does and then disappears for a while before everyone is reminded he's a sex pest once again.
It's always massages with these fucking creeps. Weinstein and Epstein would both ask for/pressure women into giving them massages too.
she did not feel Nickelodeon sexualized child actors more than other shows did.
that's a hell of a sentence
Josh Peck wrote that he made about $450,000 over five years of filming “Drake & Josh.”
Wow, that's low. I always thought that at least these kids would be set, regardless of whatever bullshit went on during filming, but this guy wasn't even making six figures as a titular character on, like, one of the top 10 most successful nick shows of all time? Did the unnamed side characters even get enough to pay for food lmao
If you have the bandwidth for it, McCurdy's book is fantastic in audiobook format too. She narrates it herself.
This episode aired and was seen by millions of people and (to our knowledge) not one viewer ever had a concern.
