I’m aware, but sure what that has to do with my comment or the comment I’m replying to?

If Cancel Culture was real, Steve Harvey would be living in a cardboard box.

AVClub article logic:

Sam should have a business card that says “I don’t exactly understand what I write about”

This right here. The results of this lawsuit were due to bankruptcy law, and would have happened regardless of whether it was Harvey Weinstein’s former company or one ran by someone with a squeaky clean reputation as a human.

Which is the more interesting thing to think about beyond celebrities being screwed: how NORMAL it is now for private equity firms to grab assets from failing or bankrupt companies, and strip them and transform them into new actual value divorced from any old responsibilities, and whether or not that’s a good thing. An…

So you’re saying that all the writers here implicitly condone necrophilia, the favorite pastime of noted necrophiliac Jim Spanfeller?

What?

Maybe some/most/all of them knew. Maybe not! And to be clear I’m not particularly broken up if Bradley Cooper misses out on $400,000 in back pay. I just don’t know why this relatively dry story about bankruptcy law is being framed as some sort of morality play in which Hollywood actors receive karmic retribution for…

You are drawing an over dramatically conclusion from this. Also, never go into any business because you’re a moron and your workers would lose their shirts. Fucking Spanfeller is business smarter than you and he’s a click-bait ghoul. Which makes you the corpse he’s eating. 

This same legal reasoning could be used to stiff people for work they did for studios that go bankrupt for non-scandalous reasons as well, so no, karmic retribution for working with problematic people is not the main lesson from this.

Yeah, random grab bag of celebrities, serves you right for being cast in a movie being produced by a man you potentially knew, maybe, was a serial abuser. Or maybe you didn’t? I certainly don’t know...but, whatever, shame on you!

Supervillain Harvey Weinstein Teams Up With Supervillain Private Equity Company To Make Life Shitty, Not Just For Weinstein’s Victims, But For Innocent Bystanders Some Of Whom Are Famous Celebrities

Suuuuch a weird take, dude.

“...learn a lesson about being more particular when choosing who they work with. maybe it’ll help convince those people and systems to change if they know that there are financial stakes to who they work with in addition to the ethical ones.”

Good advice but keep in mind this was written by a person who works for Jim Spanfeller.

I assume this is a sequel to The Grapes of Wrath, which until I was 14 I thought was about giant killer grapes attacking Oklahoma.
