Was Elvis Presley a groomer and pedo? if so why was he so loved and not persecuted and prosecuted?

Because no one cared about that 60 years ago

As disgusting as we see it now, keep in mind that, back then, child marriage was not only condoned but sometimes encouraged in those parts of the Southern U.S.

We'll never know if he did it because he had a thing for young girls, or if he did it simply because it was an accepted practice.

Regardless of why, it's objectively terrible that he did that.

Because his fame comes from an era when that kind of age gap and inappropriate conduct was handwaved away with "fRoM a GoOd FaMiLy!"

Especially in his native southern US. Especially especially among the white folks in his native southern US.

Have you not listened to songs from that era? They're mostly about hooking up with underage girls.

Wait until you find out about Jerry Lee Lewis...

Snoop was a pimp. Now everybody loves him. Weird.

Priscilla was 14 when they met, and he managed to convince her father to let her live with him. I blame the father just a much since he knew what was going down.

Paedophilia seemed weirdly acceptable right up until around 2000 or so. It's really quite surreal how commonplace it was.

Yes, Priscilla was 14.

Plenty of famous people were scumbags. Violent, racist, misogynist, beat up women, cheated, etc. From John Wayne to Frank Sinatra, they were awful human beings but people worship them.

Because he was famous, white and in america.

This, but also rape and other abuse was tolerated for some reason back then.

There is also a bit of a gender disparity for who is getting help now. Women can get help a lot more easy than men, and aren't as likely to be dismissed when they come forward.

Lets keep pushing in the right direction

Well he managed to sell rock music to white people so we can look past that

Elvis was a hero to most but he never meant shit to me because the fucker was whack

Idk, but I like the song return to sender.

Downvote all you want, itll just make me like it even more

I don't like saying it because people get very emotional and unreasonable about this but:

These things were normal a long time ago. It's only been in recent years, especially starting from the 1960s, that moral panic took over and these things are looked at now as "a crime".

I absolutely hate (not dislike) that "huah" vocal noise that's commonly associated with him and think any human making that noise needs to be taken out immediately.

I've never heard anything about any of this but I absolutely hate him and any contract he made on society simply as a product of the horror of that noise.

I exaggerate for humor, clearly, but I really do absolutely hate that noise and do not give it a single shred of artistic respect at all, it's flatly and out-of-hand declined any consideration for credit at all and people that like him as an artist I will literally completely discount any of their artistic opinions.

I have the same artistic hate for Elvis that I have political and personal hate for Trump.

I don't even have a way to know exactly what it is but just hearing his voice immediately sends me into a blinding rage. It's not to my knowledge some kinda trauma type of memory associated with it, because I was only exposed to enough of it to just recognize the voice. There are just a few things I know of that make me that angry that quickly. One of them is having to backtrack. Like realizing you forgot a critical grocery and having to go back to the store immediately, or forgetting to bring that one super important thing to work and you have to go back for it before going in. That part multiplies with any kind of time pressure.

But Elvis hits me in the same kind of spot. A randomly specific and very reactive trigger. Well I say reactive but I just end up telling at myself and increasing blood pressure for a few minutes. I don't literally go into a fugue state and start dropping people.

All that just to say that with me he is absolutely NOT loved and the little bit I heard about some kind of drama with the Graceland estate makes me laugh myself silly because screw those people, the whole lot of them. Do fans of Elvis even care a little bit about any of the family careers? It doesn't seem so to me, but I'm not an expert.
