I would say your gut is a pretty normal reaction.
If you read someone has pictures of underaged kids nude in his bedroom on the walls, you go, “Hmmmmm. Something ain’t right here.”
“But it’s aaaaart.”
“Hmmmm. May be. But something ain’t right here.”
Yes. Like Michael Jackson saying he had little kids sleeping in bed with him. As you said...”Hmmmm. May be. But something ain’t right here.”
