Chaplin would have been destroyed today
given his penchant for young girls.
shareHis penchant for young girls didn't do him any good in his own day, his career was damaged by a series of scandals. And that was back when people thought that adult men screwing teens was okay, as long as he married her.
Frankly, he'd have an easier time keeping everything about his preferences quiet in the modern era, as long as he kept everything on the downlow, paid everyone involved off, and didn't marry any jailbait.
Maybe. But eventually money wouldn’t have been enough to hold back the scandal. See Harvey Weinstein.
Qanon would have a field day with Chaplin.
Qanon doesn't go after real pervs, they make shit up!
And yes, Weinstein eventually fell, after decades of blatant horribleness that had become an open secret, but I'm damn sure there are others like him who've gotten away with it. Maybe Chaplin would have gotten away with it, at least, if he had the sense to be discrete about it all.
