G. Pelicot literally just finished proving that you can’t spot abusers just by looking. It’s disturbing reading the arguments going on about the grooming gangs- it sounds like men arguing about who has the right to abuse. The outrage of Musk seems focused on the race of the men, not the fact of it.
