for starters, just so you have some background, drake is currently dating an 18 year old girl he met when she was 16, he is 31.
also here’s a tweet from drake himself talking about fucking young girls
and noww let’s talk about how he’s preying on Millie.
At the Emmys, when asked about her friendship with him, she said he regularly texts her things like “I miss you” and that they’re very close, also, that they talk about boys/dating advice. He is a 31 year old man and this is a 14 year old girl. He’s talking to her about boys and dating and sending her “I miss you” texts, there’s a word for this. It’s called grooming. (Grooming is when someone builds an emotional connection with a child to gain their trust for the purposes of sexual abuse, sexual exploitation or trafficking. Children and young people can be groomed online or face-to-face, by a stranger or by someone they know – for example a family member, friend or professional.)
He met his current girlfriend at sixteen talked and flirted with her, groomed her like this, and is now in a relationship with her. It is so disgusting to see people claiming this is normal, the industry she is in is highly pedophilic and she’s a child. This is not normal or okay, a 31 year old grown man has no business texting a 14 year old girl like this.
Also according to Millie herself (while defending this atrocious behavior as a groomed teen is wont to do, in my experience as a formerly groomed and abused teen myself)
NO ADULT WHO ISN’T UP TO SOME NASTY BULLFUCKERY HAS SECRET TEXTS ABOUT ROMANCE WITH KIDS OR TEENS. THAT’S A MASSIVE RED FLAG TO ADD ON TO THIS CRIMSON FLAG PILE
Adults can be there to help teens grow with helpful advice. Adults and teens can be friends in a way, but not peers. It’s not a “teens aren’t worthy of being peers with us adults bc we’re SOOOO much better than them” thing, it’s an “adults have more life experience and emotional/psychological development than teens do and therefore a truly equal peer relationship isn’t possible, but manipulating a teens desire to be seen as mature and cool and grown up is very possible if you’re a fucking creep” thing
I’m worried that everyone trying to tell her he’s being inappropriate/creepy with her is only gonna make it easier for him to groom her, so I just pray there are people close to her that can help her navigate this mess and that Drake fucking cuts the shit and stops being creepy at best/outright predatory at worst with teenage girls holy FUCK
Negron says in the lawsuit (and has told Kotaku) that soon
after she was hired, her manager quit and she took on her job duties
without adequate compensation or a change in job title. Although she
asked her superiors about making her title official, she was never
interviewed for the position and, instead, three men were hired into the
role one after another. Later, after her third supervisor left, the
lawsuit says Negron was offered to perform the role again, still without
proper compensation or a job title change.
Oh Boy Who Is Ready For Some White Gamer Boy Rage
for everyone who’s been thinking about supporting riot thanks to the new k/da video: reminder that this is still absolutely a thing, and don’t let them distract you from it in the slightest
of course, I couldn’t just draw baby Ax with a flower crown on and not draw series-age teen Ax in one, too. He definitely knows how to make them– flower crowns seem like they’d be very on-brand for Andalites.
They… They’re not hideous anymore.. I could actually use these in survival builds to show my power,,, my resoursfulness,,, my lustre 7/10

I think I have the legal grounds to sue for having to look at her like this. You’ve stripped her of her prowess… her power… her dignity -4/10
NOW THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!! It’s so shiny and so good I will frame every ingot I have on a wall instead of storing them in a chest 10/10
Where’s the end aesthetic gone, you took a perfectly fine rod and gave it depression 0/10
