Roger Stone’s house?

+1000, exactly this. “I wasn’t there to witness any of these incidents, so I have no facts to provide for my argument that these allegations are spurious, just my outrage and indignation.”  

College newspapers are by nature incendiary shitshows; if anything, it’s a distinction to draw their attention! Lonergan’s response is so friggin petty.

It’s so patronizing. This is the same kind of guy who would bail out Polanski.

It’s a crap movie about a sad man. Come at me, Kenneth Lonergan.

You know what’s changed me about all these allegations lately? I now completely reject the idea of separating the art from the artist as a moral cop out. There are plenty of works by decent, conscientious artists, artists who have NOT been accused of sexual abusers, who are quick to defend victims, not victimizers.

When someone brings up PC-culture as a refutation, it’s always the final square of Asshole Bingo. His refutation points more to the fact that he’s totes okay with Affleck because he doesn’t see anything wrong with behaving like Affleck, than to whatever point he was trying to make (we’re all so mean? I dunno).

So his argument boils down to, “Don’t take the word of a woman unless there’s hard evidence backing it and it leads to a conviction—if there’s any doubt at all, the man is always right.”
