The Go-Bots had a toy that came with a top hat built in to his design. Did the Transformers have that? They didn’t? Checkmate, motherfuckers.
You should read the other comments about the documentary because the article writer is 100% wrong. Unlike Tiger King, this doc gives the victims ample time to tell their story and juxtaposes their poverty with his wealth to show how shit like this happens.
Great show. Apologies for being a dingus. Truce.
Can’t just let an obviously rough-experiences-lately-related-comment (and lamenting at how people in hollywood often end up being giant jerks) exist without trying to well actually it can ya?
Nothing like sexist comments in a thread about not making gender-offensive stereotype comments. So much irony here I hope it’s not just sarcasm I misundertood ...
Maaaaan, I don’t think I could live in a world where Radcliffe turns out to be a sex abuser or secret bigot or downright jerk.
I think you mean, Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
Well la-ti-dah
According to a study by Morrison, et al (1967), brown-eyed people need to check their privilege, including but not limited to:
I continue to be impressed with the person that Daniel grew into, both as an adventurous actor and just a general good human being.
“If these books taught you that love is the strongest force in the universe, capable of overcoming anything; if they taught you that strength is found in diversity, and that dogmatic ideas of pureness lead to the oppression of vulnerable groups; if you believe that a particular character is trans, nonbinary, or…
Agreed. Whenever the discussion of bathroom comes up, I’m reminded that 60 years ago, separating bathroom per skin color was seen as a normal, while nowadays the very idea seems laughably absurd. With a bit of luck, the same will be true of gender-separated bathroom in 20-25 years.
Yeah, as a rape survivor, I disagree with a lot of this article. I haven’t watched it all, because it’s very triggering, but I was struck by how much screen time the women were given in the first two episodes I did watch and how they had a lot of people believing them and listening to them - even the cops, which I…
The shots of mansions are juxtaposed with shots of the poor and very modest neighborhoods where some of the survivors grew up. Many of the interior shots focused on details like artwork, placement of certain rooms, which also came up in survivors’ stories (and come from police raid footage, rather than some…
If you’re a survivor of sexual abuse, it may be too difficult to watch, but I didn’t see the focus on his wealth in the same way as the author. The (now) women he abused described how broken their home lives were, how he essentially set up an abuse pyramid scheme where underage girls who were not wealthy got money to…
That’s honestly not at all what happens, and it’s a shame that they author decided to be outraged just to be outraged.
The girls tell their story, name names, and let it all out. His wealth is shown so the viewer can feel how powerless these girls felt in contrast. Is it perfect? No, it probably could have done more,…
The victims had their say which adds much legitimacy to the endeavor
Truth be told, I’ve always had a feeling that Rowling was hiding some shitty attitudes underneath the surface. The whole “Dumbledore is totes gay (but I’ll never actually write that into a book)“ thing seemed mostly performative to me, like she expected brownie points for having the thought that the character she made…
You know what Potter fans pissed by this should do? Tweet back at her with links to respected trans and feminist scholar that explain the various things she clearly doesn’t understand about trans people.
