Had to check the date on that Emily article. Jesus christ the fashion industry is the slimiest industry. Has things not changed since 20/20 did that story about Epstein associates in the 80s?

Groovelord Neato posted:There was a lot of downplaying of the article because I guess women are just supposed to accept bad sex I guess. For a guy of his age the Aziz stuff is super embarrassing that's like fumbling high school boy poo poo. I reread the article and Aziz clearly would not acknowledge her verbal and nonverbal cues to not have sex. Esp btw a 22 yr old and a 34 year old, its sickening, and so is the physicality of the encounter, with her literally trying to fight him off. Babe net seems to have had horrible managing tho, and a male dominated hierarchy of a front facing female org, that invariably collapsed on sexual misdeeds by the male proprietors and Facebook collectively dunking smaller sites in favor of Dan Bongino and Tucker Carlson https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thecut.com/amp/2019/06/babe-net-aziz-ansari-date-rise-and-fall.html

Bust Rodd posted:So there’s absolutely no room in the conversation for believing Aziz when he says “I invited a woman over to my house for dinner and drinks, we hooked up a couple times but she didn’t want to sleep with me and then she left, and now I’m suddenly really surprised to find out she feels like I dominated and disrespected her.” then? Why should we believe Aziz? The victim whose coming out ultimately got her and her mother death threats said she said no repeatedly, Aziz would stop, then manhandle her repeatedly over the course of the night. Your take strikes me as similar to ppl who wonder why women dont run from these encounters, when first hand accounts and science shows that women are too overwhelmed by fear and social obligations to do nothing but shut down. This woman was barely out of college. Its loving sickening. E: based on the errors on this page, I'm urging anyone who wants to talk about this to reread the article, please. E2: there are alot of takes here I agree with: https://www.thelily.com/how-18-women-responded-to-grace-and-the-aziz-ansari-allegation/ Shageletic fucked around with this message at 14:49 on Oct 21, 2020 |

hump day bitches! posted:My hottest take is that had cavill shaved his moustache most if not all the problems with justice league and whedon's behaviour on set would have been swept under the rug. You know, reading about the Tsujihara scandal https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.la...ml%3f_amp=true, it strikes me how his fall was engineereed by the talent agencies like CAA instead of being shamed into doing it like the sexual assault cases like Weinstein, that took multiple women coming forward and alot of press. Tsujihara hooked up with a young actress and tried to get her roles in the movies he oversaw. The relationship was consensual. But I think that paradigm threatened agencies much more than the horrors usually visited on actresses we've heard about, and thats why they were so on the ball to call it out

I just want to know more about Mia's possible abuse. Like Woody is definitely some sort of pedophile. But what the gently caress was going on with her? Moses wrote some explosive poo poo, but I haven't seen anything else that backs it up. e: i have some experience with rich foreign people adopting vulnerable children from abroad, and that poo poo can get so loving disgusting it'll make you vomit.

ImpAtom posted:I would say it is more that there is a not-coincidental connection between desire for fame/power and the kind of mindset that wants to do those sorts of things. Even if you're just talking about Youtube People it generally isn't a career you do without a specific reason, be it a desire for personal fame or for the (ugh) 'perks' that fame brings you. Combine that with years and years of media basically pressing the idea that if you become famous you can do whatever you want (which was perfectly embodied by 'guy who is famous for being famous became president') and it's no surprise that you see a lot of these things happening among 'personalities.' It kind of ends up self-selecting for abusive people. And when it doesn't you have people whose livelihood and similar addictive fame is tied to downplaying those things so they get to thrive. (As seems to be the case with GGs covering this poo poo up.) This feels like its otherizing sexual abuse/harassment. The vast majority of women who work in the restaurant biz have been sexualy harassed. Its a figure that holds for most male dominated industries.

Customers and senior staff. There's one guy in particular who was my supervisor who when I look back on it, I wish I could teleport back there and punch him in the nose. He kept it just subtle enough that I wasn't sure, and I was a young girl, and you're not supposed to make a fuss and arrrrgh. Arg. gently caress that guy. I got sexually harassed by a girl co-worker who didn't have any boundaries and got creepy about knowing about my love life when I worked at Chuck E Cheese. What a loving weird job that was.

Sodomy Hussein posted:Worth noting that Pornhub and its various sister sites (it is now a vast and largely unaccountable empire) is built on stolen material that destroyed the porn industry and with it whatever loose controls there were on content, and no one cares because it's porn. As Bust Rodd points out there's no actual money in doing porn at this point, because the cost of entry is $0 for all involved. I was in New Orleans once and started chatting up a woman who only works a few months outta the year, by flying to Europe, putting on a stain resistant suit, and smashes very squishy vegetables and paint for perverts. Seems like good work if you can get it.

I used to listen to the podcast You Made it Weird with Pete Holmes, and Miller was a good friend of his that would show up occasionally, to spout semi congent surface level takes on nihilism and his "philosophy" towards comedy. but he also did almost die from a brain disease when he was younger and prob has some sort of brain damage. Explains why he would call a terrorist threat on a woman he ran into once. Doesn't explain him sexually harrassing/assaulting a woman in college.

This morning, I was thinking of how loving skeevy and horrible it is that Scott Rudin never hired anyone over 25 and just loving terrorized these kids until they broke down, and then got another one straight out of college to replace them. When you're young and straight out of school, you're so loving vulnerable its ridiculous. You'll do anything to prove yourself, and you invest so much trust and hope in your older co-workers and bosses to help you figure yourself out. And rudin like any predator just exploitated that as much as possible.

Lovely Joe Stalin posted:Coming into a thread about racism, rapists, and other sorts of abusive monsters it's incredibly loving gross to blithely start calling people "sus" in that context just because you disagree with something innocuous they posted that didn't align with your opinion. Really loving distasteful. I'm not sure why that needs to be explained to you. Hey buddy I've been here since the jump. Also a defensive posture that tamps down stories of corporate racism helps spread and maintain this poo poo. To recap: this is the original post and reply Crackbone posted:WotC is still a messed up company, but that invoke predjudice poo poo happened 25 years ago. Their current art is super progressive in terms of representation. They cut ties with artists who’ve been overtly CHUD-like. So maybe let that complaint go?

If people have legitimate complaints about a company's lovely behavior in the 90s, who are you to try to tell people to let it go. Tamping down allegations because they happened 20 years ago is not a good thing to do! I think that's pretty obvious, or should be. I think you need to figure out why this is giving you such a huge reaction.

The difference between saying you're covering up for racism versus saying you're suspicious for covering up for racism seems like a fine line to me. People think that racism is a yes/no thing when its really a fluctuating thing based on structural pressures and influences. I think turning away from racist things from the past (that always inevitably seems to continue in the present) helps encourage racism in the present. I am not calling that poster a racist. But turning away from racist history does support racism and helps strengthen it. And what especially got my goat was the urging for OTHER posters to not talk about it. That's just wrong.
