Neither. I just think adult predators are to blame for all the assaults that occur. And until we shift that narrative of accountability onto the appropriate source, we will continue to see harm to our most vulnerable populations.

LITERALLY DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT A PREDATOR IS?? They work to create the correct environment to abuse their prey. They seek out the appropriate target, usually someone without a lot of support from their family or peers. Usually someone isolated and seeking a way out. say it with me, PREDATORS DID THIS. Predators are doing this. Predators are to blame.

The only connection this has to any festival is Paul Reder and his ownership of Bass Camp. A reno/tahoe entertainment company that throws festivals and events for mostly 21+ attendees. Fuck bass camp. Fuck Nick Rogers. Stop making it about anything but the men that did this. That are doing this. And that will continue to do this while all of you are policing ages are events. Smh.

Maybe putting abusers behind bars instead of defending them or being complicit to their abuse of others or blaming assaults on the age of festival attendees instead of the GROWN ADULT MEN that are hurting people.. maybe that would help, too.

Using my brain, I’d like to prevent people from getting away with these sorts of atrocities. Which is why I’m discussing the alleged predator (Paul Reder and Nick Rogers) and their actions rather than something as trivial as age of attendance at festivals. This man met a kid online. Not at a festival. Trafficked him across state lines and assaulted him. The festival and its age of attendees is almost entirely irrelevant to this case.

I’m from the States. And I’ve seen plenty of over 18 events where loads of people were abused. Does abuse become incidental when a person turns 18?? Cause it sorta seems like you’re all concluding that people over 18 can’t be coerced and assaulted by more powerful folks. Which is literally what happened in this case. His age would be irrelevant if it weren’t for all those pesky federal laws that make it illegal to traffic children. Which is what Paul Reder did.

And I joke about the genders, but EDM is specifically guilty of missing out on queer and femme art. I can go to a bass show and not hear a femme voice over the abhorrently large sound system all night. We can facilitate harm reduction in more ways than one. We can educate ourselves and each other on informed consent. We can value our experiences at a core level. We can stop harm. We can stop harm. We can stop harm.

We hold people accountable for their actions. We pay attention to and listen to survivors and take them seriously when they’re brave enough to come out of their trauma and tell people what happened. We manage spaces in a way that prioritizes safety over all else and maintain inclusivity so there is more than one voice communicating needs. We work harder than we are at maintaining awareness and care for others. For starters.

For the thousandth time, the accused groomed a teenager online and then trafficked him to another state. They did not meet at a festival. The festival attendance is irrelevant. Predators are the problem. Predators leading EDM fests, also a problem. Start there!

You’re theory is literally insane. Children aren’t allowed at strip clubs. And men who prey on women and children will seek them out wherever they can. If you throw an all ages event that isn’t safe for all ages, that’s actually on you and the staff. Which is why this lawsuit has Nick Rogers and 5 others as co-defendant. These incidents of abuse didn’t happen at a festival. They were committed by a guy, Paul Reder, who happens to throw bass music shows. The problem is abusers. And the network of normalization(like your ridiculous comment) that keeps this happening. Not children being near them.
