My previous post in this thread examined more stuff that straights easily ignore or decry as fake because it's easier to do than look inward (in addition to outward) and try to solve a bigger problem, but this one I'm going to ask for white posters especially to read

The hot take of the day is "victims won't be believed now". This whole thread wouldn't be possible if they were believed even half the time.

The vast majority of people who didn't believe this already didn't believe any of the stories from victims I've posted in this post, already didn't believe Terry Crews, already didn't believe Bjork or Rose McGowan, already didn't believe Ashley Judd or Asia Argento, already didn't believe journalists like Ronan Farrow who took the time to listen and gather and publish reports. And in addition to them, there's a noticeable portion of people who did believe, and simply didn't care, because they just wanted to be entertained by the movies or music or books or comedy shows/tours or presidential campaign speeches* the accused made and didn't want something they deemed so minor affecting their ability to enjoy it.

(*Don't think I'd neglect to mention that part. Everyone who voted for him in '16 either didn't believe his accusers, or didn't care and could ignore it, and they'll do it again in '20, because the people who were already voting or going to vote for him were going to vote for him no matter what)

What I haven't mentioned, what might be worse, and what we've seen recently in increasingly frequent fashion, is when they are believed, and some people really do care...But it's only briefly. Temporarily. Louis CK got to take a vacation and came back to people loving/defending his un-PC tour. Bryan Singer's first film since the accusations finally got mainstream attention...now has Oscar nominations and has made over $854mil worldwide currently. But yeah, now's the time victims feel unsafe to share their stories, or are afraid nobody will believe them, or think/fear/know no justice will come

Most bona fide violent white supremacists (specifically actual white/criminal gangs in Chicago) don't even like Trump because they see him as a "jew sympathizer." I've read lots of articles on white gangs actually murdering minorities and they don't mess around. Throwing Asians into Lake Michigan to drown, stabbing poor immigrants to death with knives etc.

There are different levels of radicalism in white supremacy.

- Modern KKK-style white supremacy, in which it's a public political movement where the heads of the various feuding factions trying to indoctrinate disaffected white people and spend as much time infighting with other cult-like subfactions as they do anything else. These guys are dangerous (Timothy McVeigh was involved with these groups) but are a combination of sinister and amazingly stupid.

- Aryan Brotherhood-style white supremacy, where everyone involved is probably a career criminal/lives on a compound (or prison) where outsiders are in some degree of physical danger. These guys probably don't vote because they don't recognize the government as such and have apocalyptic worldviews. If they kill you, it won't be because they think Trump wants them to.

I have a hard time wrapping my head around a motive for this crime. He’s going to lose his entire career, he going to possibly go to jail, he actively made things shittier for actual hate crime victims, he’s humiliated political allies.....and he risked all that just to try and guilt the producers of his show into giving him a raise? Or some sick desire for attention? It boggles the mind.

Pure speculation here, but it if I'm being charitable, it might have been an incredibly stupid attempt to draw more attention to an issue he found important. But a noble idiot is still an idiot.

Really though, I think going viral at all costs is really the name of the game, it's just capitalist opportunism in its latest incarnation. At the very least, if he didn't get a sympathy raise from the network, he might've benefited by gaining a poo poo ton of social media followers and been given paid speaking gigs and further employment opportunities for years based on name recognition alone. Being the new face of a cause can be monetized like anything else.

It's the same poo poo with people faking their research in the sciences. The motives are really only about benefiting the one person, even if the potential negatives can set back progress and the public perception of the entire subject for years, because human beings are extremely lovely when it comes to considering the big picture over their own immediate interests.

It was a stupid grift preying on people's political stances to try and turn sympathy into money and fame. You don't need to look terribly far to find tons of other people trying this poo poo, the only notable thing about it is he tried to rile up the left rather than the right.

It seems to fit into that nebulous realm of "antisocial personality disorder" where you act out things that require impulsivity and little or no conscience to seriously consider doing.

It's a good way to get attention; the idea that would improve his career seems an over-simplification of a deeper problem, but that needed some motive assigned.

Many rapists that we're hearing about are not doing it because they just love sex too much, they're doing it because they have a need for power.

It’s also surprising because Pamela Anderson suffered a ton of sexual abuse, from child molestation to being gang raped as a teenager. She should be more familiar than anyone else about how that poo poo works instead of denying that it’s a problem.

Pam Anderson is bros with Julian Assange, which is the sort of "hyper-woke" that leads people to voting for the green party not out of distrust for Hillary Clinton/dislike of the democratic party, but because she really resonated with Jill Stein

I don't know her history or positions, but that experience would not necessarily be inconsistent with what she said. She might consider experiences like those, where the victim is a child or physically controlled, "real" sexual abuse and harassment or coerced consent which is more prevalent and a big part of the metoo movement to be "lesser" and the focus on it to be detrimental to acceptance of her experiences. The feeling of the movement and those in this thread might not agree, I think long term the metoo movement changes conversations and perspectives and that the denormalization of toxic attitudes helps society move forward, but that might not match her perspective when she's viewing it through the lens of her own personal experiences.
