What maybe shouldn’t surprise me is that apologist...sorry, I meant, that commenter, didn’t ask if Affleck admitted what he did or indicated his mistake or apologized to his victims.
What I don’t understand is why, even if he’s made it right (whatever that means) with his victims, everyone else is then obligated to forget about it too.
I was flipping through all the recent “apologies” and attempted comebacks in my mind to see if anyone has fit the bill (i.e., answers the question “Is anyting ever enough?”) and Dan Harmon comes to mind — he was a dick professionally to a writer, was called out on it publicly, received backlash for it, and pretty…
Google "restorative justice." That should answer your question.
I absolutely refuse to listen to a full podcast episode featuring an Affleck, but did Dax push back at all and be like “well you WERE part of the #MeToo thing”?
She. Dropped. Those. Names.
Afton Williamson was the best part of The Rookie. I hope she gets her own show.
She was really one of the best parts of the show. I think a lot of people are going to feel the way you do about the show.
Seriously, she went through the correct channels literally as MeToo is happening, and he did nothing. Complete incompetence - and a hairdresser or a guest star would have been far more replaceable than she is. I liked how she and Fillion worked, I don’t have much interest in watching now, especially knowing why she…
She was one of the few characters I liked. The show isn’t great and I gave up on it after they got rid of the captain that I liked. Most of the actors were bad and the writing was awful. I wish she would name the guest star so I would know who to hate. Like others said, either Nathan Fillion doesn’t have much pull or…
Afton is such a good actress and I was happy to see that she had a lead role on a network show. At this point, I should probably stop watching shows with male leads/ male-led productions because it sounds like every set is trash.
Shelter Cat Update!
My friend died right in front of my eyes last night. We had dinner with a couple other friends. Three of us were walking home together. He stopped to take a rest and had a heart attack and died right there. It is so surreal and I think I’m still in shock. He had his favorite meal for dinner, he was talking being…
Hi Jezzies, I had a lovely gift this week. About 3 weeks ago on twitter Good Reads had a subject called name a book that’s helped you through a difficult time. I tweeted that when I was in the homeless hostel I used to escape to the library to reread all of John Connollys Charlie Parker series. I received a tweet off…
Yeah I think her percentages are more realistically broken down as 15% insubstantial soundbite and 85% deeply troubling and dismissive of serious physical and mental illnesses but...
Aside from his sartorial perspective, while I can tell he’s trying, Tan definitely is not fully on the body positivity train. I genuinely hope he does get there, but he’s still got a ways to go.
Tan France’s personal style is basically the same as Ellen / a well to do lesbian. Nothing wrong with that in anyway, but it's kinda how he often styles many other guys. It's not always the most flattering choice.
A heternormative relationship is absolutely not an automatic safe space when you are not hetero. See Kender Again’s reference below if you need one.
It’s also the exact rationale that acquaintance rapists use to rape: “I didn’t know I was raping her!” It’s bullshit. We are expected to believe that certain men, are smart articulate talented communicators but somehow don’t know a sloppy wet kiss is a sloppy we kiss or that groping someone’s ass is not groping…
