This seems very much besides the point.

Roman Polanski makes a better comparison, since he was convicted of drugging and raping a minor, fled to Europe to escape extradition, and gets his ass kissed by the Hollywood elite.

You are quoting Stassa Edwards, not Gabrielle Union.

Honestly it wouldn’t even need to be part of sex ed. Affirmative consent could be taught in every preschool and kindergarten classroom. We could teach kids: ask other kids before you tickle them, hug them, or otherwise enter their personal space. Get their enthusiastic permission every time.

Er, I am not villainizing Union. I had a legitimate grievance in the way she talked about and promoted the film. Union as a human being I have no problem with. I have been civil in all of my discussions on this topic.

Also, that Nat Turner didn’t have a wife. So he and his buddy INSERTED a gang rape scene where one didn’t exist historically. He is disgusting on so many levels.

They didn’t find nothing on Allen. They found plenty. The family chose not to go to trial because the child was too traumatized. You must be new. Check it out.

Actually, that is not true. They did NOT find nothing.

He was probably looking for a real rape victim

Oral sex = dirty talk = LOL.

Right like id feel violated... like he just re enacted his rape

Its so crazy my two year old daught knows what yes and no is but a grown man doesnt know what no is only yes when it comes to women

I’m sorry but, they know the difference, they get it, they understand.

Honestly, this is the primary reason why I cannot watch this movie. Especially now that I know she was oblivious to the allegations against Parker when she filmed this scene. The thought of it makes my skin crawl.

I don’t understand wanting to take the onus off the parents. This is totally a parent’s purview. And if parents aren’t capable of having this conversation, then they never should have had kids in the first place.

He probably doesn’t consider what he did was rape, so I doubt he would have given it even a casual thought

I did. There were some interesting positions in that book, and hairy is such an understatement.

None of those men have been convicted of anything, though. Terry Richardson has been accused of stuff in public but never been found guilty in a court of law. Bill Cosby is on trial, but has not yet received a conviction for anything. I think lumping them all together is actually really appropriate.

People saying they “separate the art from the person” or whatever - I don’t know how it works financially, especially with older movies, but when you still are a consumer of the rapist’s art, you are still promoting the rapist and enabling him to get away with rape.

I can’t imagine the psychological position of having filmed a rape scene informed by one’s own experiences and then to find out that the writer and director who helped create it were also accused of rape. Moral vertigo.
