I always thought that Pee Wee's exile for spanking it with a bunch of other guys in a porn theater was pretty performative. It was the suits at CBS that kept trying to turn his adult material into a kid's show in the first place. It was fine for them to snap back to reality and reconsider his audience, but blacklisting him from everything was too far.
I feel like a lot of people were more prudish back then. What he did didn't harm anyone.
I agree. It would have been a great opportunity for him to recast himself as an adult. Just like Rowan Atkinson doesn't need to be Mr. Bean.
It sucks that this is a question that has reasonable answers for it that has to get nuked because lemmy is full of censorous slime, who are self-conscious of their own censorous nature. Mean while they have posts on the front page pointing fingers of censorship at others.
