I am unfamiliar with ICP’s content so can’t say exactly what is and isn’t in there, but horrifically, yes, “going with the flow” can very much include sexualizing minors depending on what decade you’re looking at.
For example, a now-infamous 1978 article in High Times.
CW: Gross sexualization of a minor
The article describes then 13 year old Brooke Shields as “the most perfect nymphette in all creation” and “a sultry mix of all-American virgin and nascent whore”.
I’ve been fixated on the huge blind spot people have about the 90’s, or anything pre-2000. Pedo, or at the very least the teen version of it, was super acceptable. ‘If there’s grasa on the field, play’ was an incredibly common sentiment, and I think just about any male musical artist(at least the males are easier to find examples of) has at least one instance of sexualizing a minor in the 13-16 range.
ICP has a few. Nirvana has some. Beastie Boys. Pretty sure Green Day had some questionable moments. Just about all hair metal and classic rock. It was like a weird inside joke.
Not entirely clear on what the big turning point is but the disavowals started even before Me Too. Suddenly it became super tasteless to make those same comments and everyone was very suddenly never a person who would say these things.
