I was pointedly avoiding getting into that and just focusing on the body count

You can, very broadly, say that Salling getting into child porn and killing himself upon exposure was "dying due to bad decisions based on poor impulse control" and that's a trait he has in common with Monteith being killed by his drug addiction But that's a *very* broad brush

Yeah, I'm gonna say that's super unfair to addicts, both in comparing it to pedophilia and painting it as an issue of impulse control

Well, I dunno Naya Rivera, who was one of the only people to give an interview about it because she'd dated Salling, said she'd had no indication he was a pedophile when they were together but that her impression of him was he was constantly chasing destructive "highs"

And she wasn't surprised when he ended up getting arrested for something really bad but was somewhat surprised at what it was

I dated/lived with someone for a couple of years who had a (I think?) similar propensity for just *something* bad. He'd take some pills, or start drinking at 10am, or shoplift. But that's different than a straight drug addiction. There's probably a fair amount of overlap…

Well sure I'm not saying it's all one thing at all, I think it's just that whatever propensities for negative behavior in general young people have will be massively amplified if you give them a lot of money and attention and not much genuine emotional support to match

Cory Monteith, for his part, seemed to be a really sweet guy to everyone around him and his toxic means of dealing with stress were all directed inward I'm just saying I think it's still possible but unlikely he'd have died at the age he did if he hadn't gotten famous so quickly

Just like for all we know Mark Salling was always going to end up coming to a bad end but the godlike feeling of everything coming up cherries constantly when you become a multimillionaire before you turn 25 can't have helped

Like, I feel obligated to say that as much hate as she deservedly gets, Lea Michele isn't anywhere in the same ballpark of wrongdoing as Salling (who was also accused of sexual assault), and probably there's no universe where she would be

But she obviously felt free to be as much of an asshole as she was -- including being an openly bigoted racist asshole -- because of the extremely high self-confidence that came from being a big star with thousands of fans since she was a damn teenager
