Much as I wish that was true, TERFs have a long history of working with social conservatives to crap on trans women-all the way back to the 70s, when they were kicking trans women out of lesbian collectives and advocating against trans rights to the government. Their politics have not grown more progressive since then.

What does she think the “T” stands for?

Uhhhh, you *do* know that the estates of both, which includes innumerable people who appeased the abuse while it was occurring, still receive money after the deaths of said performers, do you not...?

Think about how many times he drove drunk before he got popped...

I wanted to post this in the Root, where it belongs, but I got error messages 11 times in a row.

Or they could just not reboot this show and focus their energies on making a show with an actually interesting group of diverse friends?

What’s most telling is that R. Kelly was present when those women were being interviewed and would cough at points to, ostensibly, remind them that he was there.

apologies if this is a second post, got kinja’ed...

Zach Efron dating a “Bro” feels a little on the nose, no? 

Except he has said or implied that MJ’s accusers are lying at various points. Even this week, he’s saying they should be heard but then also asserts that their only motive is a payday or that there is no evidence and that they will be judged by God for turning on him.

He’s saying they’re probably lying. He’s only saying “oh maybe someone I thought I knew was hiding something” as an after thought and that he knew Jackson so well that their story is unlikely. He’s going against the word of 2 people who have endured something that he himself was a victim of. At best he’s in denial and…

Absolutely correct. And also, there’s nothing “normal” about grown men being “close friends” with young boys, even without molestation! The fact that Culkin and Feldman even say this is proof of grooming.

I think spending hours chatting on the phone like some teenage girl and showing him pictures of venereal diseases is honestly creepy enough without any bad touching on the doll.

Indeed, treating famous kids Feldman and Culkin similarly to other children, but not abusing them, provides great cover for the non-celebrity kids he did abuse.  

Your comment was better sourced than the article. Corey Feldman may indeed be a victim and he may have attached himself to legitimate advocacy groups but that doesn’t mean “...his voice should be heard” when he has previously promoted nonsensical conspiracy theories that do more harm than good. 

Totally agree - he groomed the parents as much as the boys. Can you imagine how swift justice would have been if Culkin had been the accuser? 

Fucking sucks that Feldman’s using his spotlight to shut down other victims. He should know better than anyone that if Jackson didn't abuse him, then this isn't even about him.

Does he not understand what a hypocrite he comes off as here? Where is all his evidence of the people he’s said were predators? Oh the tragic irony.

oh that’s unkind. To shit on a kind story about a departed dude we all are sad for. Not cool.

Fuck off
