A community dedicated to the weirdest people involved in politics.
Locking this post because there is a lot weird shit and reports coming from it.
This you post
Reminds me of shit saying I heard when I was 14. "Old enough to bleed, old enough to breed". Even then that was a fucked up thing to say. But I heard it a lot as a teenager. Mostly from other teen boys who didn't know shit about sex.
Didn’t she accuse someone of SA when she was underage? Yes, when she was 17, so her comment about girls even younger is insane.
But that gets to the heart of Azealia Banks. She’s insane. She’s part of the lgbtq+ community and her sibling is trans, but she supports JK Rawlings and belittles trans women and has likened the lgbtq community to the KKK.
She believes that African Americans should be paid reparations for the crime of slavery, which zero republicans would ever grant.
She flip flopped her endorsement of Trump in 2016. Despite saying women’s issues were too important to vote for him, she celebrated his win. She then did the same basic thing in 2025, but for who knows what reasons.
She’s pro Russia as hell as well as a Zionist.
I’m not sure how we get it to happen, but she needs to put up her brain for scientific studies. The neurons are firing in ways rarely seen in humans.

Her ability to find the most wrong take possible on just about everything is genuinely unearthly. You could generally set a pretty reliable moral compass for yourself by just adopting the exact opposite of her beliefs.
it's pretty easy. just change the question to "what will enrage the most people and thus get me the most engagement in order to remain relevant?"
then all her takes make sense.
Even if you bent over backwards to agree with this tweet, just look at the facts of the Epstein case. These girls were sex trafficked. Epstein and Maxwell sought out vulnerable girls and took advantage of them. They were not girls in a traditional mindset trying to find a husband and have kids.
Exactly. Trafficked and trapped. For whatever reason the originator of the tweet chose to do what she did it’s not the same as being carted off to an island full of pedos with no safe place to escape to.
When you try to suggest that something is normal based upon your own experience, but everyone just looks at you with concern and pity in their eyes.
Like, yes girl, I was absolutely raped at 14 too, and we both need therapy!
Exactly. It’s a trauma response. Sweeping it under the rug. My parents beat me when I was a child and I turned out fine.
WTF? No, Ms. Banks, I was a teen in the 80s and no, my friends were not doing 40 year olds, eeeew. That was still called Statutory Rape. Girl, you are 34, do you find 14 year old boys attractive? I thought not. Those are children.
Don't be too sure. She started out "in Trump's defense", FFS.
She's right about one thing. This shit was prolific back in the sixties, seventies and eighties. Operation Yewtree blew the lid on just how rife paedophilia was amongst celebrities and how the (British) establishment had been covering it up for decades.
The Epstein files should have been a similar watershed moment for the US, but unfortunately some very powerful people are on that list.
Exactly. I didn't even hear the word "paedophile" until 2000 when Sarah Payne was murdered.
In school in the 90s there were always 13 and 14 year old girls with older boyfriends, like we're talking 19 or 20 with cars and they could buy them cigarettes and booze.
We never really thought much of it.
They had very much made this shit normal, and I'm glad we now don't.
No idea who this is, but they have a lot to unpack in therapy. 15 year olds don't seduce adults...
I hate to tell you, but you and your grandmother's trauma are valid, and not at all okay. The fact that they are trying to rationalize it tells me they know on some level that what happened wasn't okay. Its a defense mechanism.
I'm starting to get a vibe of: "I didn't understand consent when I was that age and had sex and no one did anything, why should we now?"
Azealia Amanda Banks was born on May 31, 1991, in New York City's Manhattan borough; she was the youngest of three.[5][6] Her single mother raised her and her two siblings in Harlem, after their father died of pancreatic cancer when she was two years old.[7] Following her father's death, Banks says that her mother "became really abusive—physically and verbally. Like she would hit me and my sisters with baseball bats, bang our heads up against walls, and she would always tell me I was ugly. I remember once she threw out all the food in the fridge, just so we wouldn't have anything to eat." Due to escalating violence, Banks moved out of her mother's home at age 14 to live with her older sister.[8]
At a young age, Banks became interested in musical theater, dancing, acting, and singing. At 16, she starred in a production of the comedy-noir musical City of Angels, where she was found by an agent who sent her to auditions for TBS, Nickelodeon, and Law & Order, all without success.[9] At this point Banks decided to end her pursuit of an acting career, citing the stiff competition and overall sense of nonfulfillment.[10] Because of this lack of fulfillment, she began writing rap and R&B songs as a creative outlet. She never finished high school, instead choosing to embark on a career as a recording artist.[5]
Ok, so she got her start fucking her way into roles and doesn't want to admit that it was wrong. This is where a lot of those Epstein Island kids end up. That's why you don't hear as many testimonials as you think you should. They got gaslighted into thinking it was normal.
Growing up in a state where the legal age was 18, we heard "16'll get you 20" back in the 70s and 80s.
So no idea where this nonsense about the 90s started.
By even debating this idea of 'at what age is having sex with children OK', you fall into the trap. We already have laws defining age of consent for a reason.
The trap is to distract you from trump's sex crimes. They need to normalize statutory rape as acceptable, because more and more stuff is going to be coming out about his doing that. His base is horrified by pedophilia, but not by misogyny.
This is how they prep the base to be just fine with crimes trump did (in this case rape) when more info comes out. Keep their thinking in black-and-white: 'pedophilia is evil, but trump didn't do that, so he's not evil! He's still our Daddy.' So they'll ignore his rapes of under-age girls just like they already ignore his rapes of adult women. So by saying,
"Sure, why wouldn't anyone be attracted to a girl whose body is developed even if she's 'technically' under age -- it's not like it's pedophilia or anything, which would be wrong!". As long as they're 13+ it's fine!"
they are saying statutory rape is OK as long as the girl is at least 13. No, that's just how the new Christian Nationalist theocracy wants it to be. The crap about "it was acceptable back in his day, only taboo since the '90's" is of course bullshit. I'm surprised they didn't claim it was only made taboo by the 'woke left'.
A lot of time people comment on their own life as a youth, not really understanding the fucked up parts were in fact, fucked up.
I didn't know that the insane shit my parents put me through wasn't normal life for everybody else. Took me well into my 20's to figure it out and even though I'm 50, I am still re-discovering memories that remind me just how fucked-up my life was back then. Re-connecting with my sister after 2 decades of estrangement due to family dysfunction and addiction, new realizations are still unfolding for me.
Simply because it was the norm it doesn't mean it's right. Pederasty was definitely a thing, but a Jewish historian who lived in the Roman era said the children clearly do not like it. And grim as it will sound, there are plenty of children in South East Asia abused by Western sexpats. You can definitely see how distraught the children are while the pedophile walks proudly with his chest high.
My great-grandmother, who was born in 1910, may have gotten married at 13 (iirc her husband was 17-18 at the time) and had my grandmother when she was 14... but that's doesn't make it "right" that she was a teen mother. She married young to get out of an abusive home life and that was her only way out at the time.
Wow, and here I thought I liked her music. Not anymore, jesus christ what a creep.
Worst part is, I largely feel bad for her. This is the cycle of abuse at work. This woman needs help she'll probably never accept.
I'm not sure who this is but the only thing I know about her right now is that she's okay with pedophiles.
It's not that social norms have changed. What happens is individual people don't realize how fucked up predators are until they get older. If you observe something as a teen and are told it's "creepy" and "gross," that's all you think it is. But then you get older and realize that it's actually much more sinister than that. There's manipulation, there are systemic injustices that enable it, there are people who don't know how to spot abused kids or feel like they can't upset the apple cart without throwing their own lives away.
It's like saying nobody understood algebra until YOU took an algebra class.
I'm wondering if her grandmother, who had her first child when she was 12, was happy about it. Never hoped for change. Was not embracing social change when it happend. Like people don't regret some of their choices when they were teens.
I was just talking to my wife about how MAGA will find some way to justify trump being a pedophile. They already try to justify rape.... and then i read this.
Times have changed, that's for sure. There are still huge, successful rock acts that are known to have engaged in that. I'm not excusing any of it but it was normalized, and to a degree we overlook it with varying levels of cognitive dissonance. My 16 year old prom date in 1990 went with me as friends because her boyfriend was 29 with the full blessing of her parents. Child porn wasn't illegal until 5 years after I was born.
But also I look back on those times and see so many girls with what today would be clearly seen as signs of abuse (including my prom date). It was always wrong. It was always harmful.
Real wild for these mental ill people to tell you about the rape they normalized in their everyday life.
JFC
The right is foaming at the mouthh with hate. They are so deadest on hating groups that they're defending pedophilia (something that harms children) because they want to protect children.
They don't want to protect anyone. They want to own their children.
This is Kanye-level rage baiting
Its not, she's just braindead. She has put so many bad takes on social media over the years and this is just the latest doozy.
She's previously accused music producer Diplo of sexually coercing her during the time they worked together when she was 17 years old, she said he was "someone that should be cancelled in the music industry". That was on Instagram in 2023. Now, this.
She's also said Sweden is a racist country and said it should "get bombed" a couple years back. Earlier this year... she moved to Sweden.
She's not rage-baiting, she's just dumb.
Social media has gotten people to think the most awful things without any hint of irony.
I may have been a little kid in the '80s, but I don't remember Jr High being an acceptable part of the general dating pool. I also don't remember any major changes in the '90s to how acceptable relationships between adults and teenagers were.
So basically: "Yeah, he was raping 14 year olds, it's no big deal. Everyone was doing it."
