Why do we care what he thinks, again?

I feel like all I’ve done in the comments lately is tell people to go fuck themselves but if the shoe keeps fitting...

Two men walked in on Parker raping the victim: Jean McGianni Celestin - his friend and collaborator on Birth of Nation - and Tamerlane Kangas. Parker invited both Celestin and Kangas to participate in the rape. Celestin joined in. Kangas observed that the victim was unconscious, said no and left the room. Kangas would…

one of the guys he waved in testified that she looked unconscious so he said no and didn’t participate. he didn’t try to stop it from happening (because bros before hoes, right? *vomit*), but he wouldn’t join in when nate invited him.

Parker’s victim wasn’t drunk; she was unconscious.

As someone who has gone in on Woody Allen and Roman Polanski, yes I would react just as I have here. You can read my comment history if you’d like.

Please, somebody ask him if he used inspiration from real life to direct the two rape scenes that nobody asked for.

This is a forum for the film, for the other people sitting here on this stage. It’s not mine at the moment, it doesn’t belong to me.

he couldn’t be tried for it again (setting aside double jeopardy and statute of limitations) because there is no victim to testify against him, because she committed suicide in 2012.

This guy seems to have a lot of self-pity. His expression here is that of someone who believes he has been oppressed by the media coverage that he raped a woman. He seems like he’s on the brink, but I don’t feel sorry for him in the least. I do agree with the assessment that this needs to happen more often and we need…

Omg you guys, it was like so long ago and he has a wife and daughters now. Plus we’re looking at it from a 2016 lens and not a 1999 one. And he’s totally apologized for it two whole times now!

This is brutal and I love it.

I’ve read all I can on this case and I think it is clear that he and his friend raped this woman. This isn’t a situation where we have to consider the norms of today vs. the norms of back then.

But Parker himself didn’t say stop so, by his own logic, not only should the journalist kept going, he should have invited two other journalists into the room to keep asking the same question.

Good. We should keep asking until we get some accountability from him and the publicity machine surrounding him. He’s been trying hide himself with female figures in his life and only thinking about himself and how the event impacted him.

I love how he characterizes the film as a group project as a 400 person effort. He wrote it, he directed it and he took the starring role. Some group project. Not sure if he's saying he's getting too much credit or whether the media should pursue some of the other 399 who might have bigger skeletons in their closets.

Must be nice to say “no” and have the person actually stop

“I hate that this movie is being framed as a movement, when it’s just a fucking product.” Yup. And since this is their promotion - along with rapist-like marketing - then I wish some journalist would ask these questions, too. I mean, if he’s sincere about confronting toxic man-ability and stuff. Because, based on the…

I feel like they are just trying to save their investment and grasping a straws.

I hate that this movie is being framed as a movement, when it's just a fucking product.
