George Takei apologized for the Howard Stern interview claiming it was just a joke. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/george-takei-apologizes-howard-stern-remark-calls-it-distasteful-joke-1058074 It sure as hell didn't sound like a joke, which makes me believe he knew he accidentally admitted to doing something really lovely.

precision posted:I don't want to start some stupid "slippery slope of forgiveness", but I think it's probably okay to let Franken voluntarily resign or not, unless more people step forward. Someone who abuses their position of power like that almost certainly has more than one victim. People argued that the US should've stopped trying to arrest Roman Polanski, because his victim just wanted to drop things, but then it turned out that there were probably more victims. A person doesn't stop being a danger to society because their victims forgave them.

muscles like this! posted:So the CW says they did an internal investigation and since they don't have any evidence of him doing anything while employed by them they're going to keep Robert Knepper on iZombie. He is also stuck in the bottom of a well, and the only person who knows about it hates his guts. They could easily just never bring him up again.

So apparently the Observer is trying to debunk the sexual assault accusations against George Takei, but they don't really make a strong case. Basically, they claim that because the victim was unclear on some details about an incident that happened a long time ago including if he was actually drugged or not, and because they couldn't find evidence that Takei was a repeat offender, Takei must be innocent. They also try to make the accuser look like a racist. Coincidentally, the author of the article was writing a book with a segment about Takei.

Looking up Emil Hirsch on IMDB, I see that he has a role in Trollhunters (A Del Toro project). With Del Toro's support of Polanski too, it seems like he is perfectly fine with ignoring people's lovely behavior.

Catfishenfuego posted:Britain is currently going through the fun debate of 'if an undercover police officer spends years deceiving a woman about his true identity and character specifically to spy on her and her friends and fathers a child with her has he committed rape and is he responsible at all for the child?' with the garbage met predictably arguing no to both. I dunno, the cop is definitely responsible for the child, but ultimately the other person did consent even if they didn't have all the facts. You can't retroactively retract consent just because you found out something you didn't like about a person. It'd be like someone trying to claim rape because they found out their sexual partner was trans.

You never really got the impression that they were actually that friendly with Max Landis. They were still perfectly willing to poo poo on him even before he got outed as a sex pervert and while he was producing content with them.

chitoryu12 posted:A lot of the articles have factual errors as well, to the point where sometimes they’ve used sources that say the opposite of what the article claims. No point in reading even interesting listicles if they’re wrong. It also seemed like at least one person from Cracked was just taking content from SA, because a not insignificant amount of their lists would match content that was just mentioned in a PYF thread.

teacup posted:It also shows just how much power actually affects this stuff. R Kelly was huge back then. Now, not so much. Same with Cosby. One of the surprising things about Weinstein was that he actually got kicked out of Hollywood for it due to him being powerful. They protect their own in entertainment. I mean look at how many people are still defending Roman Polanski even though there isn't even ambiguity about whether he raped an underaged girl. He still gets to hang out in Europe and make movies. Its all about having the right friends. The only reason R. Kelly and Bill Cosby got taken down is because they are gigantic crazy assholes that not even other celebrities want to hang out with. Kevin Spacey got taken down because all his other friends were sex perverts too.

Yeah when the scandal broke about Byran Singer, they had to use the technically legal defense for his and his sex pervert friends' extremely creepy behavior. There wasn't even really an attempt to hide that they were coercing young men to have sex with them if they wanted to have a career in hollywood.

I wanted to figure out who Ansel Elgort was and found out that he might have bullied people using racial slurs in high school and is into open relationships too. (I believe that most of the time, one person is way more into a open relationship, than the other person in the relationship is)

Coffee And Pie posted:A good point that’s been brought up is that children who sexually abuse other children have often been abused themselves. It’s a hosed up situation if it is true, it’s like the Lena Dunham thing. Lena Dunham didn't think she did anything wrong though. It sounds like the sister might have a history of false accusations unless there is a bunch of horrible stuff the Savage family is covering up, which is a possibility. I think its too early to tell at the moment.

PT6A posted:There's this, and also upon further thought, a huge part of it is the idea that the male viewer is somehow the intended or default viewer. What if, and follow me on this one here, a coming-of-age film featuring girls and directed by a woman, drawing from influences in her life, is not really made for men at all? That's not to say that films have to be gender-specific by any means, but inasmuch as art is a form of communication, what if the intended audience for this film, which is in essence a commentary on issues that primarily affect women, is... women? Female pedophiles are a thing too. Also, I agree with the poster above, even if the film had good intentions, it still basically ended up doing the same thing to children that it was criticizing against. Different motives doesn't make it right. I imagine a few years down the line we will hear about one of the child actors that regretted doing the film.

Skwirl posted:I mean, I was more trying to make a point about why Jared Leto still gets away with it. Also, no one's actually busted Kevin Spacey. He ain't getting any new acting parts but he's still free and rich. R Kelly got away with his crimes once despite having video evidence of him having sex with a minor. The only reason he got in trouble was because he was somehow stupid enough to continuing filming his highly illegal crimes. Fame can only go so far when someone is being that blatant about it.

I'm assuming her dad somehow got the judge to agree to something that is meant for mentally handicapped adults who will never have the mental capacity to consent to sex. Obviously it should have never applied to someone like Britney Spears.
