She thinks signing the petition was a mistake not Polanski.

I was disappointed when the entirety of the then-Kodak Theater gave Polanski A STANDING FUCKING OVATION after awarding him with the Oscar in 2003.

Thank you for dismissing the “but she forgave him” excuse. It was “The State versus Roman Polanski”, not “Samantha Geimer versus Roman Polanski”. Once charges are filed, the state comes in to take over: many victims of intimate partner violence “forgive” their abusers in an effort to get charges dropped - either out…

I was disappointed by everyone who signed it, the men as well as the women (though Allen was no surprise). For a long while actors painted themselves as activists and socially aware and I admit I believed it until that petition.

I remember when that petition was making the rounds. I did something completely crazy at the time - because I didn’t know the exact details of the case - I actually READ both Polanski’s confession and the victim’s statement before expressing an opinion. Nuts, right? I mean who has 10 minutes to spare?

Pot(us) calling Kettle black?

I’m not really surprised. I kind of expected this thing from a company that calls itself “Vice Media”. I just picture an office filled to the brim with douchebags.

Can’t be sued for wage discrimination if all your your writers are freelance and make nothing.

even in the gif posted above, I don’t see any real difference between the two sets of footage...

I fucking hate fat shaming. I’ve struggled with my weight all my life and it has taken years to get comfortable with my body. Seeing shit like this makes me want to crawl into a hole. And I’m not even that big. I feel to the depths of my soul for women who are larger than me.

There is no 7th or 8th grade girl in the world who wants to have sex with an old man. I’ve been one, and there is no way to convince me otherwise.

When I woke up today, I didn’t expect to read a story where Howard Stern was acting as the moral conscience. Well, here we are.

When Howard Stern is providing the voice of morality and reason in your conversation, you’re definitely wrong.

Exactly! So what the hell is this asshole even talking about?

The rapist himself pled guilty.

Tarantino: Look, she was down with this.

Here’s the full transcript. Not that it matters, but it was not only statutory rape, but also, just straight up rape. http://www.thesmokinggun.com/file/roman-polanski-grand-jury-transcript?page=27

That’s my theory on why they’re bending over backwards to defend him.

Thank you so much for posting this. It’s been truly disheartening to see how many people - women included - have been placing the blame on the woman in question for how this went down.

Apparently a lot of men who claim up and down that they understand consent read the allegations against Aziz and thought, “oh wait, I’ve done that,” which is disturbing
