I was going to say, well, he is in the Family Feud line, but then you did bring up Richard Dawson.
...holy shit what a creep. I barely remember the guy at the time because he was just finishing up when I was young--I only really remember Ray Comes (RIP poor dude)--but I always knew of Dawson because of his reputation.
Grandma and mom and the others would be like, "That Richard, always kissing people!" and kinda chuckling and shrugging it off...but HOLY SHIT--have you seen any of those old shows recently? There is this OTA channel here than only plays game show reruns, all day long....and the Dawson episodes. I caught a few moments from them, but that stuff is goddamn ridiculous. Not only was he 8 sheets to the wind all the time (dude had the whiskey shuffle going on), but the way he would leer over the women, waiting for the kiss, and they would all have to do it like it was required--and on the fricking lips! What a goddamn sociopath. It's amazing to think that that ever flew.
"Yeah, that's just how things were back then." Well, my mom recently reminded me about what that meant, about how when her, her sisters, her friends would tell mom about being groped or harassed or abused at school, by uncles or whatever, Her mom and all the other mothers would just tell them, "Well, that's just how things are...better not say anything!"
I mean, wtf...so yeah, it's been a fucking cancer for generations. The blood on the streets over this really isn't enough for the depth of the crimes that so many generations tolerated and got away with.
