Thanks for the comp Richard. You really stumbled on an eye popping documentary that I’m only able to watch in small chunks due to a mix of secondhand mortification and just ‘eww’.
This reminds me of a girl I knew in junior high that got mixed up in a group of boys from schools many towns over. Pretty much identical situation, being passed around in a room of older black dudes doing stuff that was…just like this, what a way to end your childhood at 14 years old. I was horrified. Our neighborhood just wasn’t like that. Sex was for mysterious college kids. But she was like these girls, kinda dim, desperate for something.
I’ll wince my way through this doc; I think I’m picking up what you’re laying down.
Lmk what you think once you have finished It is unpleasant to watch, the documentsry is still with me 25 years later. And things are now so much worse. If you like the essay, please spread the word. I think it's worth a subscription or reerring my substack to three friends.
