    If you are not familiar with Brooke’s story… I’m sorry for ruining you day.

    Shields, now 59, has been vocal about her experiences, including her infamous appearance in Playboy at age 10 and her role when she was a minor in The Blue Lagoon, a film that featured her and her co-star in numerous nude scenes.

      Horrid.

      On a similarly infuriating note, the article states, “One user on X, @dvorstone, captured the public’s shock and dismay . . . They wrote, ‘I don’t think this country has, or even will, come to terms with the sexual corruption of the boomers. From the swinging to divorce to homosexuality, drag/transvestites, and pedophilia, they mainstreamed virtually every sexual degeneracy that has metastasized everywhere in our culture . . .

      None of those words belong with pedophilia in that sentence. Breezing by a careless association like that it is why we are in a horrid place right now. This is the sexual corruption of the boomers still at play. Fuck that guy.

      A more suitable word would have been “conservative” or “religion,” since those are the key corrupters of civilized society in realtime.

        Exactly, the depraved and cruel sex acts (such as rape of children) usually come from sexual repression from religion and lack of education on consent and boundaries due to religious repression.

        It does not come from healthy adults exploring with other healthy adults in a consensual environment with healthy boundaries. That comes from sexual education and freedom.

        EDIT: What’s even more infuriating is the first sentence of that statement is still correct when it comes to rampant child abuse: “I don’t think this country has, or even will, come to terms with the sexual corruption of the boomers.” The whole statement is real “they had us in the first half” material.

      One thing rarely touched on is how her image and movies were used to groom other children for sexual abuse back then. I know a few people, including myself, that were abused to The Blue Lagoon.
