They let Frank “Every Woman is a Prostitute” Miller into the building to write DKR3 even after he wrote the incredibly islamaphobic Holy Terror so it doesn’t suprise me that DC would allow a walking PR nightmare remain employed.

I’m going to respond to you as though you are sincere, rather than as the troll I suspect you to be. You’re trying to reframe the discussion to a macro-level “sexual misconduct against women” one, rather than what it is, a discussion in a comment section specifically about Steven Seagal’s sexual misconduct against…
She felt she was under siege too and that Seagal wanted to get into her dark territory.
My name is Greg Berlanti. After five weeks in a hellish Hollywood landscape I have come home with only one goal— to save my TV shows. But to do so, I can’t be the producer I once was. To keep a good image and not have DC rip my licenses away, I must associate with someone else. I must associate with something else.
Yeah, just about every industry out there is probably filled with guys like this. But Hollywood’s a good place to start. It’s high-visibility, and responsible for a lot of the popular portrayals of exactly this behaviour (as well as the subtler, more insidious stuff that promotes this kind of behaviour).
And on a weird and somewhat related result, I just read that Allison Mack from Smallville is apparently one of the leaders of a sex cult. I think that’s enough for tonight.
So let’s look at these documented cases of false rape allegations, though.
The way people get so bumfuzzled about the “he said/she said” nature of some sexual assaults is mind boggling to me. It’s as if the listener, for the time and space of hearing the sexual assault story only, utterly loses all sense of risk, motivation, and consequences. What possible motivation would a woman have to…
She was one of the Cool Girls.
Because this sort of “it’s funny when people underneath us are uncomfortable and it’s even funnier when we can exploit our authority to make them feel that way” attitude is what allowed sexual predators like Weinstein and Spacey to get away with their bullshit for so long.
First off, she didn’t say no. Her PARENTS (who were in the room btw) didn’t say no.
‘you’re taking attention away from the REAL victims’ is literally the go to thing that abusers say when they get accused of shit though, like it’s a really bad piece of argumentation.
It’s less about the act and more about the fact that it wasn’t part of the script, and the ONLY reason Duffers added it in was BECAUSE it made Sink uncomfortable. That’s an asshole move, no matter what. Why does that matter? Because we, as a society, need to stop making excuses and letting people get away with acting…
The thing is, Barry isn’t exactly wrong when he had his mini “are we the baddies?” revelation. They’ve done a lot of shady shit since the show started. The no-lunch SuperMax they turned Star Labs into the first season. All the metas they killed the second season. Everything about Flashpoint. So yes, planting evidence…
Introducing Black Adam straight away means the movie would end in a generic “Grr! We’re not so different you and I!” and then a half hour superhero punch up.
Furthering the point that Hollywood is creepy as fuck and will come up with any excuse it can think of to sexualize a child.
“but in no way is it a great feminist gauntlet thrown down at the film industry.”
Let’s be clear: no one is glossing over his portrayal of women in major movies. I’m not going to pat him on the back for those portrayals, either. It’s taken me some time, but as a woman of color, I have developed a sense of entitlement when it comes to well-rounded female characters on television and in the movies. I…
My favorite part is where Batman says that killing is wrong and then proceeds to savagely beat an Asylum guard’s face in with a good 5-10 punches from Batman’s armored gauntlet.
