  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Rock stars, groupies, parties and drugs are as old as music itself.

Consent is the only issue here.

That doesn't apply to having a team that does sex casting on social media for the artist though.

Disagree. I don't see why someone's popularity is relevant.

The only thing of importance is freely given consent.

"Hey he only raped someone! Leave him alone already. Also other people also did it before."

This is what you sound like.

Besides your point beeing incredibly idiotic, there is also way more to the story, like abuse of power. If you bring somone behind 3 lines of massive bouncers and take their phones away basically nothing you do afterwards has anything to do with consent.

So all bands should allow phones backstage and have no bouncers?

Consent is the key issue here, for both drugs and sex. I'm making no apologies for anyone who abuses either.
