Something that's on my mind is how to educate on appropriate conduct without relying on

A: Role models that will be idolized to dangerous levels
B: People being punished as examples of bad behavior

A trend of these big name abusers is that they are brawl people didn't have 1/?
good smash role models to teach them what's acceptable IMO. They saw people brag about their girl numbers or mingle with people not in age group, underage drink, see no repercussion, and think it's OK.

Or the abuser is that role model which has the power to do what they
want and abuse it.

Seeing others fall or being the victim of a fall is a great way to show "hey don't do this" but it's a toxic cycle.

Statements like "don't flirt with minors" SHOULD be easy to follow, but how do you educate someone on where the line is between normal
conversation & flirting what are the signs? Best responses? How about explaining power imbalances in relationships? It's really easy sometimes and other times things are in a grey area.

I don't have a solution and these events will be stories we point to, but is this the best we
can do?

Last thing: how do we pre-emptively and fairly identify bad actors who know what they are doing to keep everyone safe?

It's 4am and this has been on my mind, idk if it makes sense I just felt the need to vent.
Saying don't let a figurehead take advantage of you is obvious on paper but easy to not realize is happening. Maybe guidelines to state what is normal and acceptable behavior vs. what is a red flag could be of use? It would be work but that might be a real usable resource.
But that might lead to being used to "game the system" so it's something I'm debating in terms of viability.
