"Allowing" (?)…that it may be a choice…?

You nailed it, Charlotte. And yeah, it's offensive. Even if it comes from the nicest and best intentions. "Forgive to heal" is just an idea that's time is ending.

I don't agree with you. I agree with those who exhibit expertise in their field. Whether that's a plumber or a physicist. In this case it's an advocate.

Thank you, Jessie. Effff cosby. Efff telling victims to forgive or else. Help them heal. Hold predators accountable. Teach our children not to rape.

It doesn't just seem that way to victims. This matters to our society. The "more" to telling victims to forgive is that it's a fine way to tell victims that their anger makes you uncomfortable, so please hush. Not only do they have a right to their voices, but to their healthy, logical rage.

It seems that we agree on some things. I hope that those who suffered at cosby's hands find healing. By coming forward - and by not becoming abusers they are already more than victims and more than survivors. They are Transcenders. That is the term given by Andrew Vachss, the U.S. lawyer and crime novelist who is one…

I see you have a commitment to making no sense and calling these women ugly names. That makes you the complete package: proudly nasty-mouthed and deeply illogical. Go you. Really.

Oh, I get it now.
Oui. Bien sûr. Maintenant, je comprends. C'est le vrai: Cosby partisans savent qu'il est fini. Et, ils sont stupides!!!

Yah, too bad he preferred villainy. I'm beginning to expect a body count. Sigh.

Whaat? Really? Ah, I see. That's a good reason to avoid pros. Even tho I doubt there'd be a paper trail with elite courtesans, they'd still be able to testify to his extreme uhhr preferences. I do swear more now, non? Alors, je suis fatigué de la bêtise!!! Ces amis de cosby sont tous cochons stupides.
Ils sont…

Oh. Okay. I get it. Maybe we can converse after the nurse brings you your medication. Bye, now.

I guess I just mean there is Something that cretinous person could have done short of this to…be…okay. I'm trying not to be too surprised by what others may find…amusing.
Lol!! Okay I'm trying not to be squeamish, prudish, or wrong-making! It's just that cos makes me so angry that he didn't - with all his resources -…

DEFINITELY, referring that to the AV Club's ad setup, then. As you may note by scrolling through the comments, seeing Ads for Cosby's DVD sets goes way past tone-deaf to gag-inducing. Glad to know it doesn't splash back directly on you as part of the AVC. They need to fix there 'bot. Next, they'll have g u n ads next…

What total rubbish.

Who one? Those he has wronged own the right to forgive him or not. There is no obligation for them to do so. Nor a need to forgive in order for them to heal. As the audience he fooled, you can choose to forgive him for fooling you, as well. He has not even acknowledged the harm he's done - let alone apologized. I…

There's an ep of Law & Order where a banker type's wife takes insulin - consensually - so she's knocked out for her hubby's pleasure. The husband liked the sense of total power and control, and his wife was happy to let him do it. It was just fatally unsafe drug for another couple. Totally blew my mind. Even if it's…

Only the lack of consent and safety really matter - IMHO. There are so many variations of what people find sexually compelling. So I don't care what people safely do - that's consensual. The Consensual part is what matters.
Just like: Instead of cosby lying and using people - he could've spent that quaalude / airfare…

If there's no consent - it's Rape. Then or now. With chemicals or not. The consent part is what makes the difference.

I also call it the Pee-wee Herman Defense. Often used by those with the Musthavelastword Syndrome. Attend…

Well, of course you know.
