Taking up Flex's point about copping some responsibility, why do you think others (industry, DJs, Jay-Z) were comfortable for so long with him when it wasn't a well-kept secret in the first place? Was it just C.R.E.A.M (and the fact he's not on top anymore)? Was there a sense that his private life was private, or just that he wasn't going much further than the regular sex-with-groupies? How does this case work alongside hip hop masculinity / sexuality? Oh no! I just asked for some undergrad Cult. Studies essay...

Also keep in mind that industry types, especially rap industry types, are shady characters. This child porn charge is a stand-out, to be sure, but shootouts among entourages, gun charges, anddrugs all around the industry don't really make for a soapbox that anyone can preach to R Kelly from. Dangling modifier. I'll be tmost of his buddies just thought she was another groupie - a little young, sure, they don't really go for them like that - but a groupie nonetheless. I'll bet a lot of them even didn't know he liked that. Plus I'll bet people like label dealers and his agent are pretty much just all about the money like you said. And he's still making hits, so, shit, everyone wins, except the girl that got peed on.

"Internet liberal" might be a better/less self-consciously aggressive term but it does feel a lot more unified politically than it used to. A lot of positions on issues, it's just taken for granted we all agree, there's less discussion. Not sure I mind really, "discussions" used to get p fractious and unpleasant.

Embattled R&B star R Kelly has been filmed telling a room full of people it is "too late" for his musical influence to be curtailed.The video was originally uploaded to Facebook on 17 May, as the singer faced fresh allegations of sexual misconduct."I'm handcuffed by my destiny," he says, clutching a cigar. "They should've did this [expletive] 30 years ago."It's too late. The music has been injected into the world."

i don't think R Kelly is going to get many new fans down the road, that's one way to do it.
― omar little, Wednesday, 23 May 2018 16:04 (five years ago) link
on the other hand, it's crazy what fans will say to defend him, how they'll still believe he's being railroaded or even did nothing wrong.

Beyond why not both, they also undoubtedly had to factor in the risk of a defamation claim
HBO actually is being sued by the Jackson Estate for airing the "Leaving Neverland" doc (though that's a wild-seeming contractual claim based on a 1992 agreement for airing a concert, in which HBO apparently agreed "not make any disparaging remarks" about Jackson)
