An 87-year-old man asking a child to "suck his tongue" is not creepy?

In what universe is this appropriate?

Look--if I, as a random person, encountered a child, and I said this, I would hope that the people around me would condemn me.

But the Dalai Lama does it, as a "religious leader" with social power, and people like you excuse it.

This is how child abusers get away with it.
