LividLiquid posted:My ex-wife was a teacher, and this poo poo is so true and painful and it drives me absolutely nuts. The poo poo we do to young women to excuse the lovely behaviors of young men is loving bizarre once you apply any amount of critical thinking to it. Pretty much. At my school, the senior management is largely dominated by women, and I'm only one of two male teachers in my department (2 men in a department of 16 teachers), with a female deputy principal as our line manager, and of the two mentor teachers I had at the school, 1 was also a woman. Naturally, we take that poo poo seriously. I had a trio of boys in my English class last year that were utter creeps towards the girls - trying to surreptitiously film them, saying sexist poo poo to them, that sort of thing. One of them snapped out of it after I ripped them apart in front of their peers, another stopped turning up to class half the time, but the third would have a big old moan all the time, and constantly act like a martyr, to the point where I'd just kick him out of class because "I was picking on him for being a boy." I called home, and his dad - a former military guy, apparently - was absolutely appalled by his son's behaviour and he did pull his head in or a bit but he'd go back to his lovely attitude in no time flat. This little shithead actually whined that I was picking on him because I'm "a feminist." It got to a point where I did make it clear to his heads of house (my school uses a house system like in Harry Potter. Each house at my school has two heads - one male, one female) that unless he could stop being a creep, he was no longer welcome in my classroom. He was only allowed back in under very strict conditions, which amounted to "if he looked at any of the girls in a way they didn't like, he's gone. If I see his phone being used for anything other than typing assessments on Google Docs, he's gone. If he sneezes and I, or the girls who had complained to me about him and his friends had an issue with it, he's gone. If he doesn't like that, he should have thought about that first before being a creepy loving poo poo who wouldn't stop whining about how oppressed he was when pulled up for being a creeper." When a young, fairly photogenic teacher got him for English this year, I did warn her about him and I think he's being kept on an even shorter leash with her than he was with me.

Basebf555 posted:Right, so given his criminal history, his co-workers feel uncomfortable with him around. So therefore it makes sense to me that as an employer I would not want to hire him. Shane Black felt differently. I think it's also that 1. Shane Black was friends with the guy for years prior to his arrest and just wants to help a friend out and 2. has he re-offended since? On the one hand, yeah, dude tried to groom a teenage girl and luckily there was no follow-through, but on the other, he evidently hasn't re-offended since, and I can see how that would lead to Black giving his friend minor acting roles. Either way, I do feel that to some extent, Black's judgement was heavily influenced by his relationship with the guy, and he obviously failed to take into account how the others working with him would feel about it. edogawa rando fucked around with this message at 20:27 on Sep 6, 2018 |

Who is Bryan Singer? He is supposed to be Turkish. Some say his father was German. Nobody believed he was real. Nobody ever saw him or knew anybody that ever worked directly for him, but to hear Kevin Spacey tell it, anybody could have worked for Singer. You never knew. That was his power. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. And like that, poof. He's gone.

Sucrose posted:Make people believe that you’ve legitimately changed for the better and wouldn’t start victimizing people again the minute you’re given the opportunity. And not just out of fear of consequences this time. Honestly, the fact that after a year of allegedly reflecting on his behaviour, he came back with "gently caress school shooting survivors" and "Me Asian chingy chongy wing wang wong" bullshit tells us all we need to know. gently caress that loving gently caress. Sucrose posted:Lousy example, because he didn’t really do anything I’d call morally wrong to begin with, he got wrecked by a smear campaign then his career started recovering in direct proportion to people no longer believing that he’s a pedophile. Him apologizing might have helped things along, but “told a dozen gross edgelord jokes 10 years ago” was never really going to fall below Disney or any other company’s moral standards for employability. Disney just really hates bad PR. And Disney's pusillanimous response, ironically, created more bad PR and a win for Warner Bros. and DC. Gunn is writing and will likely direct the next Suicide Squad movie (say what you will about the 2016 film, it was still incredibly profitable), so he's in a fairly enviable position. Sucrose posted:I have zero doubt that there’s a significant number of people who would still pay to watch Kevin Spacey act, but nobody of any significance is going to hire him because the number of people who would turn against any studio that would hire him dwarfs that number of people who’d be happy to watch him perform. It's the Chris Benoit effect. What they did when the cameras were gone will always taint whatever they were in, and there will be times where some things uttered by the characters they portray, or others on-screen will just hit a little too close to home. edogawa rando fucked around with this message at 01:22 on Jan 15, 2019 |

Sucrose posted:WB could hire Gunn because after a few months the media and anyone paying attention to the story realized that the accusations against him had no actual substance, so at that point almost nobody cared. Again, his apology might have helped, but it was really due to the allegations against him evaporating. Sure, but Disney didn't help themselves by digging their heels in as the bad press about those involved being furious, especially Dave Bautista - who has been one of the best parts of both films, and they've potentially squandered one of the most profitable franchises they had within the MCU.

It's a shame because I really like 3 out of the 4 X-Men films he's done and now they feel a bit tainted.

Fart City posted:Here’s my genuine opinion on Singer: if even a fraction of the rumors are true, and by proxy that would include the “open secret” element of visibility, then a loving lot of other people would have to know about it. Singer didn’t start as a producer; he came up through the system. There would have to be an element of protection involved in his continued employment and success. In Savile’s case, IIRC, even Maggie Thatcher was mentioned, pretty much confirming she was a poo poo-tier garbage person.

syscall girl posted:The thing about Savile was the extreme nature of what he did. While there's no specific evidence to suggest Thatcher was involved in Savile's, uh, hobbies and interests, it's possible or even likely that she was at least vaguely aware of it, and it's not implausible that her estate has gone some lengths to covering it up - the redacting of documents requested by Operation Yewtree does not reflect favourably in this context and it is now known that she was warned by the honours committee about his lifestyle but nevertheless continued to lobby for him to get a knighthood. That said, she was racist scum, so I admit I am quick to assume the worst about that piece of loving poo poo.

Fart City posted:Let me kind of do a follow-up in this responsibility deal: as I mentioned in a previous post, celebrity gives you a platform. Ideally you would use that platform for good, by forwarding good social change and giving voice to people who don't have it. Wil Wheaton, beyond the Hardwick thing, has an issue with being an Internet Celebrity who seems to walk into an infinite amount of rakes in public discourse. Fart City posted:Him being noncommittal in the Hardwick thing is gross. Or perhaps he decided not to make a big public show of whatever he decided, which he is also entitled to. Fart City posted:His transphobia-by-association is equally gross. Sorry, but this is stupid. He's not responsible for the opinions held by people who may be vaguely within his orbit, and where do you draw the line with this?

Fart City posted:I don't talk about it much (why would I, who the gently caress cares?) but I'm trans. I'm older, too. I grew up with Wil Wheaton. He was an early Known Quantity in internet culture. He coasted for a longtime by being an innocuous "good guy," but every time he's been called into the spotlight for his opinions or associations he's buckled. Seems like this is more about you, than it is him. Fart City posted:He tweeted about it. Maybe he doesn't owe anyone poo poo, but if that's true he shouldn't expect poo poo from anyone.
