Just because C.S Lewis liked an older chick it doesn't make the dude a pervert, freaky maybe but not a perv..

The fact that he wanted to whip the chicks is the thing that pushes him over the top imo
@@mfjdv2020
I believe the word you are looking for is demeaning. But even that can be argued because all words can be used differently with a particular perspective. Chick was more of a "slang" word similar to bird or broad originally.
What about Thomas Jefferson who slept with a 14 year old slave on his land and had 6 kids with her

Elvis Presley was into teenage girls.
Elvis was into his cousin
I think the case is more that teenage girls were into Elvis...
So was/is Ted Nugent

All straight men would like to be into teenage girls. They're perverts if they're not.
Woody Allen married his adopted daughter. No one remembers that.(not a question) Well...surprise.
I was thinking the exact same thing
She was not his adopted daughter. He was never married to Mia Farrow and never lived with her. Soon-Yi was adopted by Mia Farrow with an earlier husband, Andre Previn. Previn was her adopted father, not Woody Allen. She never even met Woody Allen until she was like 15. he was not her father in any respect. He never had a parental relationship with her. She was his girlfriend's daughter. That's not to defend him for doing that/ It was definitely creepy. But people get it wrong with the "daughter" thing. She wasn't. The facts are sordid enough on their own. There is no need to invent more.
Literally, everyone remembers that. It's the first thing people talk about when his name is mentioned.
I thought we all remembered
@@Ken_Scaletta he acted as her father for her entire childhood. Look how much you had to write to justify his asinine behavior. CUT THE CRAP.
I had a Grover Cleveland moment once., it creeped me out beyond belief. One time while I was visiting my mom's church, I got to hold an infant and one of the older ladies standing around me while this was happening said "You make such a cute couple, promise me you'll get married when you're both older." She chuckled and another lady made the comment that I could help raise the girl "just like I wanted" and then the pair laughed. I felt like all the blood drained out of me in that moment and I have never felt more creeped out. I was 19 at the time.
What about Mozart and his booty music? The man was way ahead of his time...

You wear well tailored shirts dear sir 👍
No Roman Polanski? I guess cause he's still alive and might be litigious. There's also Lewis Carroll; although I have heard that his love of little girls might have been suspicious, he at least was never known to have acted upon it.
LodiTX I think I saw a video recently which did mention Roman Polanski, I'm sure it was TopTenz. It was about Hollywood people who had fallen from grace. Some of these I don't think are perverts, just a bit odd, and I agree with a lot of the comments that there are some major paedophiles left off the list whilst many of those mentioned consist of consenting adults.
Roman Polanski is a nasty man. But Lewis Carroll was possibly a sicko as well??? I'm not calling you a liar, but I was wondering where you found this information? It would make sense since most of his stories center around children, specifically girls.
The point of my reply was that he was not a sicko. He didn't do anything wrong. He had a marked preference for little girls and their wonder and innocence. He wrote the Alice books about a specific little girl, but also collected pictures of little girls and spent time talking and walking and playing with them. I don't know that anyone made anything of it at the time, but in retrospect scholars (who have to find new things to study and write about) have delved into the motivation for his apparent fixation with little girls, but whatever his fantasies, if any, he never acted on them; therefore he was not a sicko. He did have a form of autism that allowed him to function at a high level, but caused problems with social interactions. Perhaps because of his autism he found it easier to spend time with little girls. That last sentence is pure speculation on my part. I know little about Lewis Carroll and less about autism.
Carroll wasn't a perv; he was mentally or emotionally a child himself. He enjoyed playing with children (felt more comfortable with them) and especially, the girls. One of the kids who grew up with him made several comments (one in lovely british dry humour) about the complete lack of sexuality in his involvement, but the awkwardness of realizing one has grown up, but the close friend of one's mother and father hadn't...in short, "out growing" an older man....
D L: Yes, you see. That was the point of my comment. One cannot know another's inner desires or fantasies and even if they are such as might raise questions; in the case of Carroll it is generally accepted that whatever his fantasies he never acted upon them. In the case of the friend you quoted what was stated was no doubt correct, but for a different reason than his immaturity. She had outgrown him. She became an adult and he preferred little girls. For most of his life he was an instructor in mathematical logic and linear algebra at Christ Church, Oxford University. He was also an ordained Anglican cleric. None of these accomplishments indicate to me a man suffering from a Peter Pan complex, such as you imply; nor do his friendships with John Ruskin, Dante Rosetti, Hunt, Millais, etc. He was very comfortable and welcomed by adults and at house parties was an entertaining guest not afraid to sing tolerably well, indulge in story telling, and was reportedly adept at charades. I suggest you do some research on Charles Dodgson, his real name. The argument about his possible pedophilia continues among scholars and probably always will, with no conclusion being reached.

My mother's side of the family is rumored to have decended from one of King Edward the VII's bastards. Am less skeptical of this claim after watching this video...
It is a very common Theory , so much so that the character Vera in coronation street was given the belief as a long running gag it gives dubious births a bit of glamour . Lloyd George was the runner up candidate hence the song ''Lloyd-George knew my father''
Please don't conflate "out of the norm" but consensual sexuality with predatory behavior that happens to involve sex. They are not variations on the same spectrum, they are entirely different things.
Well said, you two.

@@TheMaru666 It can be if one of the perverts manipulates the other. We don't have enough information. Read The Holy Bible if you are unsure of what is sick and twisted.

This video seems to conflate being kinky with being a sexual predator.
[added for clarity] Simon begins by saying "if the metoo movement has taught us anything, it's that perverts are everywhere."
It's clear from the rest of the video that 'perverts' is intended to include people who are consensually kinky.
Obviously, the metoo movement isn't about kinkiness or the lack of it--it's about sexual predators.
There's nothing contradictory about a sexual predator who only performs heterosexual 'missionary-position' sex.
It's treating two un-correlated things as if they were the same thing.
It's similar to saying "if the Catholic church's cover up of child abuse has taught us anything, it's that gay culture can be found even in religion."
James Hutchings He said that the people in the video range from mildly kinky to sexual predators.
To be a Pervert is defined as:
"A person whose sexual behaviour is regarded as abnormal and unacceptable"
By this measure (and by the social norms of the times these people lived), to be perverted is to not be heterosexual and "vanilla" in ones appetites.
Michael, sure, but they're using "perverts" (the most extreme end of the spectrum) in the title, probably because it sounds juicier and more scandalous, but it also creates a link in people's minds between that word and the men in the video, regardless of what they had actually done. And by grouping mild whipping and lusting after 8 year olds together, they're doing the kink community a huge disservice. Because there are still people out there who think anyone who isn't vanilla is a complete pervert (the kind of people who think homosexuality leads to bestiality, for example), and there is no need to throw any more fuel on that distasteful fire.
Phil Atkins the problem those associated with the kink community have with this video is the word “unacceptable” in that definition...
And stick to facts, to what is known, and not spread about tales of what someone merely thinks or suspects.
In ten yrs we can expect John Podesta, Anthony Weiner, Bill Clinton, Jeffery Epstein, Obama and about 200 other Adam Schiff types......

Jerry Lee Lewis - married his first cousin once removed who was also 13 at the time, I believe? And he was technically still married (to his second wife) when he married his cousin, so they had to marry again. I believe he had 6 wives in total.

Jim Jones had a similar line. All marriages were void.
Lewis Carroll had uncomfortably close relationships with a few families filled with underage girls. One, named Alice, was considered the influence for his best known character. He was also a prolific photographer and at the time had a few thousand photos, which was considerable compared to other photographers. While many were destroyed after his death there are a few that include young girls in revealing outfits so there is speculation the destroyed photos were even more revealing and offer a view into his darker side.
Doesn't The Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) and his nine year old wife get a mention?
My Great Grandmother married at 13yrs. Since her future husband's family would have objected she and her parents lied and said she was 14yrs. All I know about his age is that he was over 18yrs (probably 21) and they were happily married for at least 4 decades. Only she, he and their parents knew of their true ages. She confessed to her ' young love ' three days prior to her death when she also had to admit she was only 102yrs and not 103yrs. It seems young marriage was not looked down upon, depending on family blessings.
WHERE IS JAMES JOYCE AND HIS LOVE OF FARTS AND DEFECATION
Skreamie 🤣🤣🤣 I almost forgot all about that! Thank you for reminding me, LOL!

The Marquis de Sade was a prisoner in the Bastille and the revolutionaries released the rather dazed old man without realising who he was.
No he wasn’t in Bastille that was Dan Smith
De Sade is an interesting one to study because so much of it is right out there in the open - read his works (or skim) and watch the documentaries and dramatic renditions of De Sade and his life. If you haven't already, it is worth it.
Not to excuse his behavior, but I don't believe that CS Lewis became a Christian until he was 33 years old.
Barry Hornby
As I understand it, his life was profoundly changed.
What is to excuse? He liked whips and got drunk once.
Tyrant-Den I think most people back then, and to some extent now, would consider it wrong for an 18 year old Shack-up with a 45 year old. The reason why this significant for CS Lewis, it's because of the clear contrast to his later Christian beliefs.
Barry Hornby does nothing to excuse his still pretty innocent behavior.
To the degree there is anything taboo about an 18 year old and a 45 year old having a relationship, the "guilty" party is going to be the 45 year old, not the teenager (even more so back then, because women's sexuality was generally frowned upon no matter what they did with it). Also, no relationship between them has ever been confirmed, and the only source quoted was the theory of a single friend.

Just got to defend C.S. Lewis for a second. He didn't actually become a Christian until his early 30s, and he didn't write most of his books until his 40's. So just because he was into weird sex things when young, doesn't mean he was a pervert when he wrote all the books we know him for.

Cs lewis was an atheist for a large part of his life. & rest are just a speculation.
From 18-33 is not a "large part".
@@LSSYLondon Respectfully, as I also understand, the common view seems to be that 'a large part' doesn't have to be the largest part, the most years, or over half. It was a quarter of his life (more if accounting for early childhood years as too young to choose atheism or not), which was a big chunk of it - a large part.
Please stop promoting the idea that kink is equivalent to perversion (as the title and the predilictions of many of people you've listed here does). Perversion is any sexual act that is NONCONSENTUAL and deemed innapropriate by societal norms. Kink is any sexual act that is outside the so-called norm, but IS LIMITED TO CONSENTING ADULTS. They are not synonymous, and should not be conflated.
Yes exactly
Perversion is a type of human behavior that deviates from that which is understood to be orthodox or normal. Although the term perversion can refer to a variety of forms of deviation, it is most often used to describe sexual behaviors that are considered particularly abnormal, repulsive or obsessive.
Nothing in there about being nonconsensual or consensual
I sniff farts for gratification
It's nice to hear someone speaking English correctly. Your grammar is impeccable.
“Hands” Christian Anderson..??
Lol see what you did lol
i often wondered why they called mr anderson hands.
" King Edward VII - King of England ? That would have come as news to the Scottish and Welsh taxpayers who were also forced keep the parasite in the style to which he imagined he was entitled.
Turns out my father, unbeknownst to my mother, was a little bit of a pervert though as far as I could ascertain, he kept his perversions to himself and explored them strictly through reading up on the topic. Since he was not famous, no one but my mother cared and since his eyes never wandered, I don't think she cared much.
In 1918 my father went to France. In 1919 after the war ended his unit commander began letting the troops have a little time off rotating them a few at a time for a few days of R&R most of which occurred in Paris. He liked old books so he visited some of he book shops that survived the war. This much I have verified with receipts and stationary that he brought back but I will get to that in a moment.
Years after my parents died and in fact some years after I inherited the house that I grew up in which was also the house my father and grandfather were born in and also grew up in, I did some renovation work or rather restoration work that necessitated partially demolishing a wall in his library. The wall turned out to be about two feet thick with a huge space inside. I discovered that there was in fact a secret access panel but not until I tore down the wall. Inside were boxes, an old army foot locker and paper bags filled with all manner of books, magazines and personal items. A great many items were in French and a great many were quite old. Some were dated to the late 18th century and some were undated but based on the printing style and condition looked to be from about the same period. Not being a speaker or reader of French I sought the advice of an acquaintance who could in fact interpret French for me. She briefly skimmed some of the loose pagers and documents and glanced at some of the books and announced that my father had bought a significant amount of old literature and other items from several shops in Paris in 1919 and that he was a monstrous pervert. She adamantly refused to translate any further and suggested I burn the lot.
Well the foot locker itself contained my father's dough boy uniform, medals, mess kit, personal items and his Browning 1918 rifle and I have no idea how he snuck that across the pond because I was under the impression that they were not for keeping but for only using while on the battle field but then I'm not a military historian. So that I was keeping. I was on the fence about the rest but I don't like being told what to do so I ignored her advice and sought out the help of an older gentleman of French extraction who was a little more open minded. He was a Jesuit priest. I invited him over to my library where I had the material spread out on my table for him to examine. Now I had noticed that some of the works were profusely illustrated with some rather explicit and perverted engravings of surprisingly high qualities. I believe some would cause Larry Flint to blush had he seen them. My friend the Jesuit did a lot of "hmmming" and "ahaaahhing" and some "OH My's!" and then informed me that I had a more or less complete collection of the works of the Marquis de Sade along with those of several of his French and ironically a couple of his German contemporaries. But then he explained that according to some of the documents, these were likely author copies based on the notations in some of the margins of the books and documents. One hand written manuscript of about 80 pages that included a handful of crude but explicit sketches he explained he guessed was an unpublished story written by De Sade.
So I sought additional advice from a professor of 18th century French literature that he recommended who then hooked me up with an antiquarian book seller that specialized in "libertine literature." It appears that my grandfather's receipts and documents along with some older documents included all point to this having been a collection of items that came down in the de Sade family and had been auctioned off sometime late in the 19th century to one of the Parisian book sellers my father had visited. He had paid a relatively low sum of 15 francs for the lot, considerably less than the book seller paid a couple of decades earlier in a Paris auction. I asked the book seller what he thought the value was today (30 years ago) and he informed me that it might perhaps fetch around $1500 US for it though he also said that was only if I burned about 75% of the collection and tear out some of the engravings from some of the books which in his opinion no auction house would touch. As for the original manuscript, he confirmed for me that it was in de Sade's handwriting and authenticated it for me then said I would never be able to sell it due the content since nobody would want it. I did not follow his advice.
It seems that after over 200 years some of his published works have never been translated into English. That book seller offered to translate them for me and as he did he gave me some updates. He expressed the opinion that although de Sade had a unique insight and popularity in some circles, was an atrocious writer and doubts many people have actually ever read his completes works. I am of those few people now that I have had the previously untranslated works translated. The only price I had to pay was a small 18th century document with de Sade's signature on it that I let him keep. He has it framed in an ornate antique frame on the wall behind the counter in his shop. I had several of his autographs so I didn't think it a particularly high price.
After reading his works I have concluded that the shop keeper is correct about the quality of his writing. Reading his work is tedious at best. In some of his works it is clear he has a one track mind. Poop! It seems that was all he thought about 90% of the time. While he did have some rather violent and sadistic fantasies, his main interest seems to have been poop. He went to great length describing infinite myriad of things that he thought one could do with poop in every conceivable variation repeating the same over used florid and unimaginative phraseology ad nauseam ad infinitum. His great talent wasn't making people sick from reading the most disgusting words ever written in the French language but rather his great talent was his ability to bore people to death. Even the most avid pervert with an unquenchable thirst for perverted literature, and I use the word literature very loosely, would unlikely be able to complete reading any of his longer work due to being induced into a narcoleptic state in a few minutes. I doubt any of those who prosecuted him or analyzed him, if you could call what they did in French prisons at that time analysis, ever read past the first chapter.
But someone needs to preserve his writings. I don't claim to have everything he ever wrote or published as there may be something I missed but I think I have come close. I don't claim to have every document or book he ever owned but rather a tiny fraction of his vast collection but I do have many key items. I have one book that he wrote his name in as a youngster that is richly illustrated with early 18th century engravings. The book is a history of corporal punishment and various forms of torture. It was a gift from his uncle who was an abbot though it is unclear if that abbot was an actual priest though usually they were. The illustrations are for the most part quite explicit, violent and most of the victims are naked. The perfect gift for an adolescent and impressionable boy. This was shortly after de Sade's father ran off and abandoned the family. Later on de Sade was repeatedly abused and tortured by the headmaster of a private school he was sent to. I have also a sketch by de Sade, it was a crude sketch and and explicit one apparently drawn around 1755 when de Sade would have been around 15 years old. it is of such a nature that if I described it here I would most likely lose my UA-cam account permanently. In many countries such a description made public would earn me a lengthy prison sentence. Fortunately my attorney's inform me that owning my collection is perfectly legal though just barely so in a couple of instances.
De Sade's position in this video is well earned. The use of his name in modern context as mentioned in this video is a it should be. He wasn't the first sadist but he perfected sadism.
Helluva story.
Nobody got time for that
I had to get my text to speech agent to read all that off for me
Wow, this should be known
Thanks for sharing this interesting story. There is generally no smoke without fire and some people (not necessarily men) are really deranged in their minds and actions. Worse still is that many of these could go on for so long thanks to being royal or aristocrats. If De Sade would have been a farmer he would have been executed on an early stage.

Did he ever think she might have found him repulsive?No,of course not.
So you are telling me that Henry VIII got catfished by a photo? So that is not a new thing for men 😂❤
Perverts? A man having a relationship with an older woman is a pervert? I think you need a dictionary.
Grover Cleveland, second to the Marquis de Sade. LOL.
Really love that Caligula was a hated childhood nickname that meant ‘little boots’. Pretty awesome it’s how he’s remembered even though he despised it.

You should include rock celebrities, those who "adopted" underage girls (for sex) so they could cross state lines in the U.S. oh, and they rewarded the parent who agreed to the adoption. I think some British rock stars also had similar arrangements.
I almost feel like the last one was skipped over because that’s not even brushing the surface with how horrible a person he was. It’s hard to stomach all the evil he was capable of
Caligula sounds like he had a bit of brain damage from that poisoning
i can't fall asleep unless I listen to this nice man say horrible things with his soothing voice.
Missed Mohammed, the founder of Islam.
no, he did him in another vid.
Also missed a few Popes and pedo priests!
Simon specifically mentioned that the people on the list were there because their kinks or perversions were not normal even for their time. Mohammed was rather "normal" for his time in that region.
They don't talk about Muhammad, or else Aloha Snackbar happens...
@@ericlanglois9194 It only was "normal" because he made it "acceptable". If you want to go there, sacrificing children was "normal" behavior for the Canaanites. If you have a daughter or relative who is 5 years old, you look into her eyes and then tell me "marriage" to a man with grey in his beard would have been okay x-number of years ago. This remains a problem today in Iran because of their false prophet said did it, don't give me that time and region nonsense.
*Most of these are not perverted at all but just fetishes - or customs of the time* .. my own grandmother and grandfather were 15 and 18 when they got married and they wouldnt think it was wrong ever. Why? Because then (about seventy years ago) it was perfectely normal and legal too. Cultures change, i dont think its right to call that perverted because we think different now.
Strange but for some reason I've never liked charlie chaplin .. his face always gave me creeps . Also Busters Keaton was the best silent film actor in my opinion
Some of them were not perverts, they just had fetishes. Domination (being dominated) fetish is fairly common.
Yeah , like a foot fetish!
Totally agree. It doesn't seem fair to me that they slander a person only for sake of making the pervert list longer.
A hundred years ago if a girl wasn't married by 20 she was considered an old maid. In many states girls could be married at 12. Yikes.
a 12 yr old is not a woman. creep
t Bone its nature. She bleeds, she breeds.
Girls sometimes get married here in USA at age 10 still.

Caligula's real name was...Gaius Julius Caesar Germanicus.
Caligula means "little boots" in Latin. A nickname given to him by soldiers of the 9th legion. He would not have been called Caligula when he came to power.
I'm sorry, but your facts are a bit wrong. You said that Henry VIII's first wife, Catherine of Aragon, was not able to bear him children, That the marriage was never consummated. This is actually wrong. Mary I of England was the daughter of Henry and Catherine.
Eric DiMemmo no, he said Catherine of Aragon was originally Henry VIII’s brother’s wife. The brother had died before it was consummated.
Eric DiMemmo Listen!!! He says that her marriage to Henry's older Brother ( who died!!! ) was never consummated!!! And he says that she never bore Henry the son that he craved!!!! By the time she was 40... They only had 1 daughter... and were not likely to have anymore children...
Henry read a passage in the bible that said it was sinful to marry your brothers wife... so he asked the pope for an annulment! The pope refused... so he became the head of the Church of England and divorced Catherine! What you claim is NOT correct!! You need to listen better.

One fact about the Marquis De Sade was he was in the Bastille in 1789, but was moved out before the revolution because he kept shouting obscenities at passers by through the pipe used as a toilet.

Joseph Smith Jr may have been sealed to many women but in Mormon Culture, you can be sealed to your Children and not have it be a marriage Ceremony. It's also important to know that the only Biological children he had was by his first wife Emma.
I'm not going to say he's was wrong for his teachings so I don't offend anyone but I think we can agree what he taught wasn't based on Christianity (it wasnt like Methodist isn't based on Judisium) so it's one thing not to agree with his beliefs but I believe what you say was true so yeah why mess with him on that? He had 53 kids with one woman? Really?
@@andywinslow9638 actually no, historians have stated that Joseph only had biological children with Emma. True he was sealed to many women but keep in mind that in Mormon culture we can seal parents to children.
You know what? I'm thinking of Brigham Young but I still agree with you anyway. And you're right. Concealing doesn't mean having biological children in Mormon culture
Interesting....
The character Granny Weatherwax (of Discworld fame) also likes to hold a note saying „I aten‘t dead!“ too keep people from burying her while she sends her mind wandering.
Historically important perverts sounds like a great band name lol
All throughout history, there's nothing new under the sun
Well dang someday you can add Bill Clinton and Joe Biden to this list
I don't think Henery VIII was really perverted. He needed a male heir, or so he thought. So there was a political reasoning behind what he was doing. From our modern perspective his methods may seem objectionable to many people but we don't really understand what he was up against and what kind of world he lived in. I'm glad he broke away from the Catholic church...they had way too much power. Ironically he did all this to get a male heir and didn't succeed but his daughter, Elizabeth, turned out to be one of England's greatest leaders and kept the country out of the hands of Catholic Spain by defeating the Armada ..which was 10 times the size of the English Navy
"From modern perspective his methods seem objectionable"
I'm sure someone at the time objected to his methods. He had his wives killed so he could marry new ones, for crying out loud.
If someone values thier sexual appetites above another persons life, that's
Didn't he break from the church because the pope wouldn't dissolve his marriage?
Huh and people wondered why syphilis started about and killed so many.
Syphilis was unknown in Europe until it was brought back from North America. Europe gave 'em smallpox and measles in return.
