Seems kinda disingenuous to focus on that and not the part where his publicist is managing to get some redemption narrative pieces published

Edit: but also, seriously lol at the idea that a publicist doesn’t approve anything C.K. does in public, including taking walks with friends

There's a lot of disgusting poo poo from old Hollywood and I'd bet that the worst of it hasn't come out yet. Loretta Young was raped by Clark Gable and didn't tell anyone for 60 years because she thought it was her fault, and that wasn't even known until like two years ago.

Wait, the dude who made his name and career by alleging to have formed a relationship with a little girl over the internet and then romancing her sister only to claim to have been duped by a bored middle aged woman which he discovered when he drove to meet her unprompted and then made a media franchise off of investigating people on the internet to find out which of them was lying in online romances and exposing them on TV was creepy with women?

I couldn't have seen that coming.

amazingly, Errol Flynn probably has a slightly worse reputation than he deserves because the dude who wrote a biography about him embellished all sorts of poo poo in that book (like the nazi spy thing, for instance).

of course, Errol Flynn still happily hosed underage girls, installed two-way mirrors in the bathrooms and guest bedrooms in his mansion, lied about traveling to Spain during its civil war to report and bring supplies and food to Republican soldiers in order to create a hoax about his death to shill for a movie, and was buddy-buddy with fuckin' L. Ron Hubbard of all people, so he's still a Grade-A Shithead. But he probably wasn't an actual literal nazi.

If your boss hitting on you is sexual assault and a violation, then an all-powerful dictator is the ultimate #metoo situation. I don't know if 35,000 is an accurate number, but it's more likely than not the man was an out-and-out violent rapist (having armed thugs pick up women for you is no different than ripping someone's clothes off in the street). Even if they were willing, according to the #metoo logic, that's obviously still assault. They could not give consent. Although one doubts they were asked for it?

Anyway, get your rape apologia out of here? Rape is bad. We should burn all of the Fidel Castro memorabilia and never read anything by him again. Anyone who rapes is evil, anything else he did is irrelevant.

I DEFINITELY believe the GQ clickbait article brought to you by 'GQ Contributor', who also brought you "Fidel Castro was a tyrant who brought the world to the verge of unimaginable conflict
Fidel Castro, who has died aged 90, was a homophobic, communist tyrant whose government imprisoned critics, and engaged in torture."

There are dozens of sources. I think you just happen to like this rapist. The voices of women who cannot speak because they have no voice---their voice has been stolen by little weinsteins---would cry out for injustice. But you are holding them down just as much as any accomplice. Your attitude is normal, is it not? The man in charge must be given his manly due. Satiate his lust, his pleasures must be given. What is for the woman but to give? Her body is a toy, her consent does not exist. A dictator who, by his own admission, is the father of dozens, is by any reasonable understanding of consent and power disparities a violent rapist.

And you, sir, are his supporter.

I do not approve of little weinsteins.

It's not sexual assault, but this interview with the Arrested Development cast is pretty horrifying, particularly Jason Bateman repeatedly talking over Jessica Walter, who was in tears recalling Jeffrey Tambor berating the poo poo out of her, telling her that it's just Hollywood and she should just deal with it.

Well, I mean, Cross was already outed as a shitbag, so that's not surprising for him, but for Bateman, Hale and Arnett to basically triple-team Walter and say, "Dude, whatever, shut up and get over it" is something that you don't exactly expect to see every day.
