"Incels are a symptom of existing problems in society, and I think solving this issue with incels killing people involves looking at the root causes."

"Oh yeah, totall--"

"That problem is women are fake cunts, and we should forcibly control their sex lives and allow them to be raped by nerds if they have too much sex."

It's insidious. It goes a long way to making the issue unsolvable, since the most effective approaches (all of which will involve "looking at the root causes") can now be conflated with misogyny.

In what world does confronting toxic masculinity or getting kids to be less hateful around issues of sex/identity/mental health/acceptance get conflated with misogyny?

The screed Uncle Wemus provided, by making the (correct) observation that the incel issue has deep society causes and then immediately following that up by proposing a comically heinous system of state-mandated rape, is attempting to confuse matters in exactly that way.

It reads like it was purposely designed to cast doubt on anyone who does less than demonize the movement. (Which leads me to believe that Martman is right on the money.)

How clueless do you have to be to go from "women won't gently caress me" to "it's obviously their fault?"

The root cause is too many morons spending too much time online and not realizing that life doesn't work like fiction.

Exploration is ill-advised.
There's a lot of discussion to be had over the actual cause, and a lot of it likely comes to capitalist alienation rendering many people essentially superfluous to society, toxic masculinity as the default upbringing for boys with no coherent alternatives, and suburban isolation, but I figured this thread is more to do with rich and powerful sexual predators rather than random losers on the internet.

You can tell Bertolucci is from a different era, because most of his peers realise that they're at least ostensibly supposed to be ashamed of their actions.

Oh, well, that's all water under the bridge, as I always say. Water under the bridge!


Good. Weinstein’s done a good job of keeping a low profile, and in the public consciousness that’s the best defense, because the public consciousness is fickle. Anything to keep that scumbag’s dopey, bloated face in the headlines is worthwhile business. Doubly-so if it offers retribution for one of his victims, and further drains his net worth.

this dude is a cool as hell old man who got hosed by an rear end in a top hat and then taken by a bunch of equal-sized assholes. I say let him back in so he doesn't have to be in the company of a bunch of fuckin' creeps (because you know Cosby and Polanski won't be the last).

some proof, the final line of the article:

quote:

"I get screeners from SAG," he reveals. "Some, not as much as I got from the Academy." He nonchalantly adds, as his managers gasp, "I lend them to my neighbor."

No. Last time this happened someone was suggesting Spielberg was a pedophile because of Hook or whatever. It’s unfair gossip.

Edit: unless you’re talking about Larry Clark. The most obvious pedo still allowed work

Yeah, fair enough. I remember that really weird derail.

Larry Clark, if he is innocent, seems to be perpetually cosplaying as a guilty version of himself.

I vaguely recall one guy who seems to have been abused by nearly everybody in Hollywood said the only people he could trust are Steven Spielberg and Michael Jackson. (oddly enough. I've mentioned that in retrospect, the latter seems maybe almost too obvious compared to the pattern we've seen of how easily the rich and famous can sexually abuse and get away with it, though that's a can of worms best not opened and no one has any proof)

Actually in the late 2000's a documentary with interviews of almost all of his alleged victims came out and basically he definitely didn't do it and he was set up because while not a pedophile he was a desperately broken person and probably more than half insane so it was easy AF to make it work and he was so super rich and scared that he would frequently settle out of court immediately because whats 250K to Michael Jackson if people stop saying he touches little boys?
