I honestly don’t know the full extent of the accusations against Gates. But more generally, even if the people involved were adults, how do we know it wasn’t criminal? How do we know the women were involved consensually? And for those that did “consent”, how do we know it wasn’t due to coercion and the enormous wealth and power imbalances at play? The pictures of Gates released with one of the previous dumps sure don’t make it look like everyone was happy to be there with him… obviously a lot of this is speculation, but I’m weary of using the logic of adult = not criminal activity.

For a slightly different take, I was mesmerized watching New Yankee Workshop and the old This Old House seasons as a kid and often wonder how much they contributed to practical skills and hobbies I have as an adult.
