AA misuse

At some points, recently, Mr. Maron was complaining about what he implied were the old fashioned ideas in AA.  He mentioned their rate of success (every girl he has 13-stepped in the past 8 months that I am aware of is much worse now), and appeared to think those who have told him he is doing some things wrong by talking about AA publicly, are somehow mistaken.

Here are some of my responses:

jesus, maron way to spin you using recovery to exploit girls, as some sort of breaking free of old ideas in AA. If you don't think the 13th step was the first thing to take place in the first 12-step gatherings, you are delusional. What you do with AA to fuck up the minds of girls like redacted person and redacted person, and god-only-knows how many more girls, is the original, oldest reaction within AA members that exists.

New and profound? More like old and predatory."

"I can agree that if you talked about AA without 13-stepping broken girls in recovery, you might be doing not bad things. 100 percent of these broken girls you 13-step and sexually exploit, have had recovery defiled and perverted by you. That is fucked up and abusive."

You are a celebrity. You speak publicly of AA. (Big no no) You have made a living where you choose to joke about, target, and sexually exploit broken girls. Then you publicly berate those girls as "lunatics." Over and over. For decades. You interact with girls in 12-step, when you know damn well that 13-stepping ( BIG no no) is wrong. You sexually interact with your most broken, young girl fans, whom you groom to come after you. And you do nothing to protect the obviously endangered underage girls who respond to your public grooming. You endanger young female fans who have issues you know and understand well, and purposely target. You endanger sexually exploited children. This paragraph lays out exactly why your sexual behavior IS everyone's business. Every single parent of a child seeing your movies, every single person who supports your livelihood, has every fucking right to be protected from what you are publicly choosing to use your celebrity status to do to broken young fans in recovery, and broken girls suffering the effects from sexual trauma. You have chosen to behave as a predator toward your most vulnerable fans. Your sex life is damn well everyone's business, for just these reasons."
