Hiring people you're loving is an extremely bad look.

Yeah, there's a reason it's a disciplinary-worthy offense / ethics violation in basically every company to have a romantic relationship, sexual or otherwise, with a direct subordinate, because it is a complete disruption of the power dynamic. You don't sleep with the people who work for you, plain and simple. Even some of the scummiest companies in the world like Uber eventually figured that poo poo out.

LoL Stephen Miller is getting married to Mike Pence’s personal aide and no one on Earth gives a poo poo, the only reason she resigned was because she knew the revenge porn would be submitted for evidence and people are up in arms because she’s a women and it’s a non-traditional relationship. The “bad look” thing is hot dogshit, what Californian gives a poo poo if she gave her little girlfriend a staff job handing out flyers and making phone calls? This whole “I better set a good example” thing keeps burying dems for literally zero gain. I just feel bad for her, I knew people canvassing for her and she sounded like she cared about her community.

Fraternizing within the same organization is one thing. Fraternizing within the same chain of command or reporting structure, different story.

Neither is great, but there's a huge difference between loving someone you hired and hiring someone you gently caress. Oh yeah, remember how we all thought trying to impeach the President for loving a 22 year old White House intern was blowing it completely out of proportion?

You seriously cannot maintain this position when you say three posts up that Stephen Miller being a Chief White House strategist doesn’t conflict with proposing marriage to a White House Aide. That’s ridiculous.

That’s ridiculous. You're grossly underestimating, or deliberately misrepresenting, the size and complexity of the White House bureaucracy. She's on the staff of the VP, an entirely different group to him. There is no reason, let alone proof, to think that this woman is not simply exercising her agency. Constantly crying wolf is counter-productive, and does nothing but stop people taking you seriously.

Papercut posted:I think most people would also strongly disagree that nepotism is as bad as sexual misconduct. Yeah and also this current Administration is literally wall-to-wall nepotism as well. Jared Kushner’s resume literally begins with “my dad did similar crimes to the President” and ends with “I smash the president’s daughter” and he’s a senior aide to the POTUS.

The Republicans figured out that if they just do a bad thing and power through it that there aren't any real consequences. It doesn't necessarily mean that the Democrats/the left shouldn't still try to hold themselves to a higher standard. Even if the Katie Hill case is on the lower end of the scale.

Somebody finally asked the writers of the Weinstein-produced Scream 3 for the record if they had any idea how prescient they were being about that film's premise (the whole plot is set into motion by a rapist film producer and in general is based around the sleazy behind-the-scenes Hollywood industry rape culture - even the killer is named after Roman Polanski). Their answer; not really. quote:Twisting itself around this convoluted narrative is the fact that Harvey Weinstein executive-produced the movie and appears to have been fine with his brother, Bob, who tended to be the one most involved with Dimension productions, bringing a horror film with this very telling storyline into theaters. Kruger says that while Weinstein never explicitly came up as a source of inspiration during the film’s creation, that kind of imperious disregard was a major point of reference for Scream 3’s John Milton. quote:Lussier remembered that the Milton character’s “reckless approach to innocence” was very much in line with how Wes Craven saw the industry in general. “In Wes’ mind, this was very much how this city works,” he said. “We will eat into our young. Things that you thought you could get away with because you live in a protected climate of power and money.” quote:What about the final bloodbath of retribution, where the big-shot producer and predator has his throat slit in his own lavish home screening room? When I asked Kruger if there were critical executive or studio notes on the Milton character, or what happens to him, his answer was a flat “Nope. Everyone liked that plot.” https://slate.com/culture/2019/10/scream-3-harvey-weinstein-producer-character.amp The article doesn't mention that Rose McGowan, one of Weinstein's most ardent and public accusers, was one of the stars of Scream, which makes the whole thing even more curious.

I'm glad I'm not a historian who has to sift through their implications in a contemporary context because it's pretty difficult to gloss over their impact on filmmakers on a global scale
