I am in NYC for work this week. It was my first Yankees game. They were definitely not booing out of love. It was amazing!

Are we sure some of them weren’t saying Boo-urns?

That’s right, boo.

the worst thing about what he said was that takei would only be able to pull hot guys due to his fame and money. that he’d have to pay to get a guy as hot as brunton (thinks he was) to fuck him.

Plus we know what a shirtless George Takei looks like. He may not be this guys type but I’m sure he had is fair share or admirers

I find it gross that he feels he deserves an apology after admitting he’s been using his experience to mock George for all these years.

It gives it the racist asshole vibe. Fuck this guy

I’m geneally loathe to impugn someone who comes forth with these kind of accusations, but those comments about Takei’s looks and not liking Asian men sound like the words of a pretty awful person. And the way he describes himself sounds highly narcissistic. It makes me wonder if he shared the story (which he’s saying…

yeah, someone else commented here that he never said he’d been drugged. obviously no, he’s been telling people he was drugged. that’s an egregious lie - as the article says, dude got right up and drove away.

“He explained, “He was 20 years older than me and short. And I wasn’t attracted to Asian men.” He added, “I was a hot, surfer, California boy type, that he probably could have only gotten had he..”etc.

It’s not that it comes off as racist, it comes off as full-of-himself: “I was a hot California surfer stud, and he was 20 years older and short and Asian. Ew!”

Cosby had like 60 accusers. No one else has come forward with anything even resembling improperly behavior by Takei

Brunton wants an apology for an unwanted advance that happened almost forty years ago. So to do it, he intentionally skews details to make what Takei did to him sound much, much worse and drags his name through the mud at a time when the Weinstein / Cosby stuff is going on?

Yeah, because it implies all Asian people look the same, when there is a great deal of physical diversity between people of all ethnic backgrounds. Also, Asia is like... the majority of the planet. It’s like saying John Cho looks exactly the same as Daniel Dae Kim. They both have black hair and brown eyes, but very…

Well he can shout all he wants about how he hasn’t changed his story. Even before this observer piece there were several conflicting accounts directly from Brunton. So there’s a pre-existing record of him changing his story.

And he’s on record in a reliable news publication admitting the 2nd meeting was a lie. And…

Following up “I’m not attracted to Asian men” with “... and he could only get hot white guys like me by paying for them or finding fame addicts” makes it sound pretty damned racist.

It’s not, but bringing it up like that makes it seem suspect... like, no way would I have willingly slept with him, I don’t even //like// Asian guys.

He changed his story on the genital part of the incident, and toxicologists indicate he was lying about the drugging. Takei denied even meeting him. At this point, I would not assume that a come-on even occured.

It seems like a come on gone bad and that Takei backed right off. And the whole I’m not attracted to Asian men gives it a different vibe.

People talk about mass marches and protests that we should have if trump fires Mueller or Rosenstein, but we legitimately should be discussing mass marches on ICE detention facilities to forcefully free these children and bring them back to their parents.
