gently caress Yahtzee for his views on poo poo, but you have absolutely no idea how much work it is to write things and create video content. poo poo is in no way a cush job. It is bananas how much work that poo poo is. I only produce a few long-form videos a year and it is incredibly time-consuming.

Pay attention to every time the image changes during a Zero Punctuation and understand that that is a new, original image every five seconds or so for 5 minutes. Weekly. Accompanied by an essay. The thing you had to do in school that was a lot of work.

it's cushy because he gets paid a metric rear end-ton of money to do it, not because it's easy work. a lot of people do more or less the same thing for completely free, or for an inconsistent Youtube or Patreon income instead of a consistent salary.

Leon is a really, really loving good movie that's good pretty much specifically because everyone was tired of Besson's sleazeball poo poo. There's so many points in the movie where it could have turned creepy, and probably originally did, and just... doesn't.

Is "kramering around the room" a thing?

it's when someone kramers in the door and just keeps kramering, sliding off around the room, bouncing against walls. he kramers against your toilet, busting it up big time. you get the feeling he's trying to say something to you but he's kramering at such a high velocity you just can't quite make it out. as he finally nails a window and falls out you think you hear him exclaim "Fidel Castro is the biggest rapist, that's what's so CRAZY about this" on the way down

It's not actually saying "We no longer allow filmmakers to demand sex in return for parts." It's just saying that SAG-AFTRA will be limiting the ability to conduct auditions in homes or hotel rooms, a likely area for this to occur.

yeah this is actually a legitimately good move that will probably genuinely stop at least some sexual assaults. it's probably not going to be taken as such, though, because nobody actually reads articles if the headline tells them it's something bad.

It's very reminiscent of laws being passed in 2018 that say that police having sex with people in custody is actually sexual assault. Sure that's a good move but it seems horrifying that seemingly didn't come up until now.

Again, I feel like you should go look at what they're actually doing. This isn't just them saying "don't gently caress your auditioners," it's them banning auditions in homes and hotels, even if no sexual assault occurs, to make it less likely that anyone will try casting couch bullshit.

Yeah, but when that results in you sticking up for a scumbag who drugged and raped an underage girl, you may want to rethink your priorities. I know I’m preaching to the choir, but still.

it's a bit more complex than that. France doesn't extradite to the US, period, because they're not okay with the US having the death penalty. Polanski's charges are in the US, so their response to the idea of extraditing him has been "gently caress no, abolish the death penalty you assholes."

like, they're not actively trying to defend pedophiles, they're trying to fight the death penalty, and it turns out the one card in their hand is a pedophile. if we got rid of it on a federal level, Polanski would likely be standing trial in the US within days.

I just feel like when you get to that kind of dude, it's a situation where we should probably be using whatever ways to reach out we can, rather than going "gently caress THIS GUY, HE'S CANCELLED FOREVER." Like, F is for Family makes it pretty obvious that Burr isn't that entrenched in his views and even seems to pretty much realize he's kind of a poo poo, which is where I was coming from; he's the kind of guy who seems like he'd respond to Twitter getting on his rear end with "man, I'm sorry, I hosed up" instead of doubling down.

The furor over CK’s set is confusing imo. It’s exactly the same sort of comedy that he’s told over and over again in the past 10 years. It’s less refined and polished, which is why you’re hearing it in a scratchy audio recording rather than in a 4K Netflix video.

People are talking as if CK’s just lost it and is being an old rambling dude now. Nothing has changed! This is exactly the same sort of comedy you used to love! You’d have respected this man for joking about parkland survivors or gender-neutral-pronoun-using teens just years ago.

His transgressions surely color his work but it’s pathetic to pretend as if his style has taken a sudden nosedive and that’s the real reason we hate him now. He’s doing much the same thing as before.

Honestly, this actually is a sea change for him, it's just a subtle one. He used to make jokes about hosed up subject matter, but with at least a veneer of empathy for the affected; this routine, however, actively revels in its utter lack of such empathy.

He's turned from the kind of person who'd mock rapists into the kind of person who'd mock rape victims. That probably says something about the former having been a facade to begin with, but it still sucks.

i think the fact that it's Wil fuckin' Wheaton we're talking about here makes this sort of a silly argument, like, dude is very charitably a C-list celebrity

like i agree with regards to people who actually have a meaningful platform that people will listen to. like, there's no reason actual celebrities shouldn't be somewhat obligated to be vocal about these issues; people actually listen to them. Wil Wheaton, meanwhile, is a former TNG actor who did guest spots on Big Bang Theory on the basis of "being a former TNG actor," and he was also funny on twitter for a little while; that is the complete entirety of his fame, to the best of my knowledge, and i don't think anyone other than very sad hardcore Trekkies is actually going to be meaningfully influenced by him saying "gently caress Hardwick."

Fart City posted:

I think a major piece of the Michael Jackson story is how it, like, maybe arrived too early? In a weird way the allegations against him have become pop culture, a series of SNL and South Park jokes as opposed to real alleged criminal acts. Like if you break down what the allegations are, they're absolutely horrifying; that he groomed and molested children. But it all came out in a timeframe where the media was salivating for the next OJ Simpson case to cover, and as a result the whole thing kind of got molded into this cultural moment. And like the fact that two people were murdered in the Simpson case, the actual victims of the Jackson case were put in the penalty box in favor of taking shots at the more visible celebrity. Like whether Jackson was guilty or not, the entire situation surrounding the allegations against him was branded as like, a joke. It defanged a lot of the possible truth that ran underneath.

I mean, on the other hand, the joke always had an undercurrent of absolute violent hatred towards Jackson. His music basically stopped being played on the radio for a decade plus, and only started again after his death; going out of your way to listen to his music or watch Captain EO or Thriller was basically taken as a sign that you, too, were a chi-mo.

It was less of a case of people laughing about the situation, and more of a case of people hoping that mockery would drive him to suicide.

yeah, he obviously did something, but we have basically no clue what he actually did and there's a whole lot of daylight between the best and worst possible scenarios. you seem to be taking this as a lot more clear-cut than it actually is.

Re: Blanket, there could be a number of reasons why he responded that way.

It's possible he was molested himself and the doc made him relive his trauma. It's also possible that he wasn't molested and just found out his dad was probably a monster. :shrug:

I'm aware of the guy's reputation for being a creep and the feet and stuff.

That seems like a long way away from "its open knowledge that he raped Amanda Bynes and impregnated Jamie Lynn Spears." I mean, obviously they're on the same path but what's informing those pretty specific and huge accusations? Has either woman accused him or something?

https://twitter.com/totoxxyyxxremix/status/867904150788558849?lang=en

this twitter thread covers most of it. basically, there's no hard proof, but it fills in the blanks more neatly than anything else that's come out, and CDAN (which has been right about some really bonkers poo poo before) has directly called it out.

e: actually, nevermind, the only thing up in the air with Spears seems to be whether it was specifically Schneider and that's... not a hard guess to make. it's out in the open that her "acknowledged" baby-daddy wasn't the actual one and that the real father was "someone who worked on the show," and that the Spears family was... pretty loving spooked by the situation to the extent of paying the fake baby-daddy to pretend he was the real father.
