My dude I have some bad news for you if your life is just crossing off media from a big list under the heading "SOMEONE WAS TERRIBLE" like go ahead and start with all music ever recorded and then just go from there.

The Office also has Gervais which is bad enough and the Simpsons had that extremely lovely handling of the Apu thing recently. I think you'd have a hard time finding any kind of entertainment where nobody involved is an rear end in a top hat

peer posted:"I sound like I’m condoning yelling at work. I do not. The full context of the apology sounds better than just cherrypicking those particular lines. But even just with those lines, he's at least acknowledging that the interview sounds really bad instead of doubling down. He then goes on to explain that he realizes what he did, that he supported the person who did the bad behavior over victim, who is sitting right there. So it really does not feel like a half-hearted apology to me but if I could see him making it, directly from his mouth instead of on Twitter, I'd have an easier time accepting it(not that he owes anyone other than Walter an apology).

The Simpson would have gotten a pass on Apu if it the plug had been pulled 20 years when the Good episodes outweighed the Bad, and the show would have grown fonder in the public's memory instead of growing older and outdated. The Deadpool movies have Deadpool's wacky sidekick Dopinder and it helps that he's actually played by an Indian guy and he's no less unhinged than anyone else in the cast. He'll probably replace Weasel entirely in Deadpool 3. Inspector Gesicht fucked around with this message at 15:02 on May 24, 2018 |

So this thread has moved from being about sexual assault to just complaining about people being mean? Time to shut down movies/tv/music forever, it's been fun guys. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Pedro De Heredia posted:Moses Farrow wrote an extremely long essay about Woody Allen, Mia Farrow, and the accusations. It's a good (if very depressing) article. I kind of wish we had the recollections of the other children as well, but I can understand why they'd rather not share such intimate memories with the general public.

I think you'd have a hard time finding any kind of entertainment where nobody involved is an rear end in a top hat Not to be too cute about it but yeah, essentially this. You’re often looking at collaborative efforts in industries with messy inner politics in eras dominated by toxic culture problems. Enjoy as many unproblematic things, and support the best people working now, but if you’re looking backwards you’re going to have to live with the context. Which, imho, is a good thing, because it rounds out your understanding of what you’re consuming and hopefully makes you more aware going forward. I still love King of the Hill even though Mike Judge has outed himself as an absolute wackadoodle.

What I'm saying, ultimately, is that there is no possible way you're getting credible information about Castro from the CIA, FBI, would be assassins and exiles whining that Castro took away their right to own slaves. No offense because I'm sure your outrage is very real but there is no reason whatsoever to believe a word of any of that. LesterGroans posted:There's a really good part in the behind-the-scenes of Netflix's W/ Bob & David in the writer's room. Cross has a sketch idea about a kid who dies and comes back and writes a book about going to heaven. Cross seems more focused on talking about Jesus having a boyfriend and Odenkirk rightfully steers it to the funnier idea of everyone (Hitler, John Wayne Gacy) being allowed in Heaven. The funniest joke in the whole revival series is Heaven is Totes For Real thing about "the Prophet Muhammad?" "No! Mohammed Atta!" Timby posted:It's the audio that gets me. She is in tears, saying that she's never been treated like that by another person in nearly six decades of acting, and just doing pure victim mentality saying that she needs to get over it and realize that it happens, and you've got Bateman and Arnett and Hale egging her on, and Tambor's saying "you're right" like he accidentally bumped her in the hallway and made her spill her coffee. Yeah, in print you can see how they might play it off, but the audio makes it clear. HUNDU THE BEAST GOD fucked around with this message at 16:48 on May 24, 2018 |

The implication was that you are meant to view Castro with some special horror, coming from a country that didn't decriminalize homosexual activity until the early 2000's and literally has state sanctioned reeducation camps to "cure" gay men and women. LGBT awareness and rights in Cuba were won exactly as they were in any other country, by the people themselves.

I'm amazed he never left the country tbh. Maybe he just thought he was too big for the cops to actually come after, esp with the age of some of the accusations. I'm not sure what the statute of limitations is in NY tho? Not as lovely as in Cali I'm assuming?

From pretty much day 1, there have been rumblings of Weinstein seeking a redemption narrative. There has even been talk of some kind of eventual documentary or something here and there. My suspicions are that dude simply doesn’t understand how loving much of a monster he is, and sees turning himself in as a way to “clear the air” so that he can continue that redemption arc. It smacks of “I always cooperated.”Tailored Sauce posted:Explain please? Isn’t he buds with Alex Jones? Tart Kitty fucked around with this message at 22:37 on May 24, 2018 |

LGBT awareness and rights in Cuba were won exactly as they were in any other country, by the people themselves. In a thread that's significantly about recognizing that people in positions of power and authority can sexually abuse others with much greater ease, nuance and access than the stereotypical back alley violent rapist, you can't come to grips with the fact that a totalitarian dictator is de facto the biggest abuser of them all. Like, even hypothetically.
