Well, as stupid as this is, it is as likely to accomplish something as anything else. After we turned our backs on the Sandy Hook massacre, I became convinced that there’s no amount of tragedy we as a nation are not willing to endure for the love of firearms.

They were 16 and the victim of a pedophile. What’s the matter with you?

I remember absolutely nothing about these people from when it was apparently a thing, but it appears that a teenager was sexually abused for years, while in the public eye, because of a bizarre loophole where a child being sexually abused by an old man isn’t illegal if the child’s parents give the abuse their…

With the benefit of hindsight...

ok do nothing, your choice dude lol. thanks, love the value you bring to this discussion. 

I’m tired, you literally have to google “how to be an ally to sexual assault victims”. It’s everyones responsibility. You are not anti any of those things if you don’t speak out when you encounter these things and instead focus on how not to be an ally. all I hear from you is resistance. “you people” lol.

it means a lot to us survivors, it makes me feel safe knowing we have people who are going to commit to calling out abuse when they see it, commit to safe workplaces and social environments, and commit to understanding the fallout of what it feels like to be triggered, especially when there are so many survivors out…

He’s a man with a lot of resources in an industry that offers an abundance of information on how to provide a safe workplace, especially for an industry with so much sexual assault. It’s not like there’s no guidance.

But how much blame can you lay at the feet of a person who cannot legally consent to getting their ears pierced or to smoke cigarettes because they are not fully functioning beings?

lol why the fuck is anything she put in that checklist bad? just commit yourself to the experience of survivors, especially in an industry that is so rampant with abuse.

As someone who laughed along as a teen I now dont care who started it. She was a damned INTERN and he was THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Jesus Christ can you even find a more imbalanced power dynamic than that without going parent/child?

Why do you feel it is necessary to state this?

“a public announcement that should, if nothing else, throw some much-needed attention toward that often misunderstood condition.”

“because they typically come from people who own at least one Apple product”

Whereas you are a very good and interesting person because you don’t care about unions *or* sweatshop labor! Check and mate! You did it! Where should I send your fucking award?

“Does not align perfectly with the trendiest leftist views” is apparently the new ‘cool’ terminology for “helps pollute outer space” and “helps orchestrate South American coups.”

By all means, cite the specific sketches that came off to you like “leftist lectures.” In my experience, genuine leftists are often disgusted or disinterested in SNL.

I’m not your sweetie, you condescending ass

I didn’t know who he was, but after seeing the list of what he wrote, I think the label fits

He wrote the third biggest selling album of all time. It’s a perfectly fine designation.
