A better word would be protecting him. The fact he didn’t report Foos and allowed him to operate for decades is terrible. In that time, he could have protected the people who ended up getting violated by Foos. What’s worst, if this can be believed, he took part in watching with Foos.

SURPRISE

THIS. I was absolutely shocked when I saw this link in a thread dedicated to creepy news stories on another forum. That forum, while generally progressive, is also male-dominated, and literally no one else in that discussion saw a real problem with Talese’s actions. I was foaming at the mouth. No, it’s not harmless.…

Because apparently Foos’ privacy and consent mattered a lot more to Talese than that of his victims.

Yessss. She has been my dream Carol since season one.

But I think it’s the duty of journalists to report on everything, even things that are uncomfortable or weird or cross ethical boundaries.

Open and shut case, Johnson!

I think this is better broached as “why can’t we have both?” It shouldn’t be an either/or situation, y’know?

“Then I stretched my neck in order to see as much as I could through the vent, nearly butting heads with Foos as I did so. Finally, I saw a naked couple spread out on the bed below, engaged in oral sex. Foos and I watched for several moments, and then Foos lifted his head and gave me a thumbs-up sign.”

This man violated so many people with his “observation,” it’s unreal. Not just by watching but going into their rooms and touching their things. Even if he did see drugs, call the police. I’m not sure how true the story about the murder woman is but it shows how callously he treated the people he observed. I can’t…

One of the most disturbing things in the original article was that Foos AND Talese clearly felt (and explicitly stated) that because the guests didn’t know this was happening it wasn’t a real crime - a no harm-no foul approach to consent that is truly terrifying.

I’m afraid I must disagree. While all the films contain some amount of humor, claiming that the tone of Winter Soldier is the same as the tone of Guardians of the Galaxy is ludicrous. Thor is not tonally similar to Iron Man 2. While there’s a certain lightheartedness in most of the films, some are notably more serious…

“Poe doing Top Gun in space (with space beach volleyball)“

Yeah, but that’s because Rey, Finn, and Poe are great characters played by likable, charismatic actors. You want to see more of them, even in standalone films. The “universe” alone isn’t the big draw.

It’s true that Marvel found success that way, but that’s not the only way to do it.

Star Wars Episode VII introduced a ton of new characters, gave us a lot about what makes them tick, and then the movie ended.

I may be in the minority here, but I’m sort of bored with “superheroes fight other superheroes” as the crux of these big event comics. Civil War, Avengers vs. X-Men, Civil War 2, Schism, World War Hulk, even Secret War a little (lots of Doom’s allies were heroes). I get it: it’s fun! Iron Man vs. Cap! Cap vs. Cyclops!…

I’m calling shenanigans on that one. He may have gotten advice, but I guarantee that he ended up putting people where he wanted them to be, due to his history of similar actions.

Unless the writers are able to pull this off in a genius way, it’s doomed from the beggining, because the premise of the conflict makes no goddamn sense: I can’t see even the Punisher considering to punish somebody for something that person hasn’t done yet, let alone Cap, or even Tony Stark. Sure, if they know…

My way is similar but faster:
