I loved Allison Mack as Chloe on Smallville & would love for her to be innocent on some level of these horrendous charges. But calling a sex cult a “women’s movement” in a tweet to a former child actor ... is pretty indefensible.

There is a lot of great stuff in Buffy, but man some of the metaphors about or revolving around sex are cringe worthy.
Damn the left! .. turning on someone that turns out to be shitty.
If by “the left” you mean “consumers of fiction,” and “their own” you mean “a hack writer,” I guess?
You’re mistaking criticism for cannibalism.
Whedon also consistently punishes his female characters for owning and expressing their sexuality. He’s the worst, and I can’t believe how long people bought into his bullshit. I’d rather deal with a straight up misogynist any day of the week over an egotistical hypocrite like Whedon.
Cracked wrote the most accurate description of Joss Whedon ever put to (digital) paper back in 2009:
Cults initially work on people because the first experience can be intense and positive. Over one weeklong retreat, or whatever, you go from depressed and alone to meeting a ton of new, typically young people who are just like you. Your unmoored life suddenly has structure, you’ve made friends for life, you’ve…
She may be innocent, or a victim like the others. A few paragraphs shouldn’t be enough to go all in wishing hard time on someone.
I’ve noticed a major strategy of cults is to chase celebrities, convince them the cult is a self-help group, drain their brains and then their bank accounts.
Case in point, the “Church of Scientology”.
Stupidity. Many child actors, which Mack was, have a suspect education and have been coddled all of their life, so they are great marks for a conman.
Most people do like the movie. It’s a small minority of very loud, very angry nerds who make it seem like there’s a lot of doubt to its quality.
I watch that scene and it baffles me how many people disliked this movie. That fight alone was worth the price of admission. It looks amazing and it’s stunningly filmed. And the best part is it all looks real. It’s none of that CGI hopping fests they the prequels did.
While I don’t know why this comment is on THIS article. I really like it. I agree they should move on from Harrison Ford, I don’t think they can “James Bond” Indy.... With Indy, we learn his back story, his “real name”, etc.... With Bond, you don’t really learn that much about him.
In any real life case of a female teacher sleeping with a male student being reported in the news on social media, there will always be at least one “too bad she wasn’t my teacher when I was a kid” comment. Yea, sure we’ve all fantasized about our hot teachers, but being a young kid put into that situation, though may…
Completely disagree here.... Regardless of the sex of the teacher or the student, it’s clearly an abuse of power and disgusting.
That is nonsense, unless you are running miles every day you will not stink that fast or you need to buy some deodorant you savage. It’s just stupid to shower that much. Why not shower every hour if you like overdoing it?
Then amounts of perfume/cologne people put on are much more offensive to me than some people’s personal body smell. I encounter over perfumers way more and am disgusted by how often I can still smell the people’s perfumed crap long after they’ve left the room, 30 feet away, etc.
I was about 180lbs (I’m about 6’1”) when I graduated high school. I was still about 180 lbs 10 years later when I lost a job and shame spiraled all sorts of out of control. 9 months later I was about 265lbs and I’ve never weighted less than 250 since then.
