  • Every news cycle is the same repetitive story: sex trafficking, celebrity scandals, nothing new.
  • The Abercrombie CEO was running casting couch parties under the pretense of model auditions to sexually exploit young men.
  • Tim says he needs this to be brutal rape—not just models complaining about being objectified—to care about the scandal.
  • Defense attorney angle: young men getting on planes to supposed modeling events didn't realize they were walking into orgies.
  • Maybe fashion and the modeling industry should just be eliminated entirely.
  • People working at pizzerias and bars aren't getting trafficked—it's always the models.
  • Tim expresses fatigue with the endless rotation of trafficking scandals hitting the news every week.
  • The constant coverage cycles through the same five stories like a 90s documentary: kids in cages, rape narratives, over and over.
