Long tradition in a religious Redneck country with a circular geneological tree.
This is what I like to call the “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” Generation. Or pick any number of 70s and 80s movies where teen sex was depicted on camera. Or choose any pop rock hair metal band from that time period where they literally wrote songs about having sex with teenage girls. That’s who’s sadly defending this bullshit.

Back in the 1950s, singer Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13 year old cousin. The media did not keep a straight face. It was technically legal but still trashed his reputation for decades.
This is, like… “to be fair to Polio, it only started being demonised once we found out what it was…”
What in the Holy Name of Logic is this?!
