I don’t think it’s excessive at all. If I threw a party and you slipped another guest for making a joke, you might never get invited to my house again. If you slap the person at a bar after leaving my house, it would not be any of my business. The issue wouldn’t be so much about the behavior but more about…

If you think of Hollywood as one big industry and the Oscars as a job award, then this was essentially an act of workplace violence and he is being reprimanded by his employers.  He’s only getting a 10 year ban from attending the annual awards banquet because he’s a reliable profit maker.  If he was a lesser earner,…

Bring it up, go ahead.
But what’s that got to do with the WHITE GIRL that killed him?
Just seems odd that this was such an important footnote for you to mention
...that has nothing to justify/trigger/bring about the violent death he suffered by an abusive partner with a history.

White privilege is a hell of a drug.

The culture of “fame” in America?

Breaking News: Trevor Noah discovers the court of public opinion.

If I assaulted a co-worker at a meeting or party, I’m pretty sure I’d be hustled out of there and likely fired.

Jeez guys; you physically assault one person in front of thousands of witnesses and people go crazy saying stuff like, “that guy should face consequences for physical assault.”

As of post time, the boat is allegedly off the coast of Texas and he’s doing a Xanny in a walk around Central Park which he left several years ago to provide said abortions on said ship.

OK, so, let me get this straight. Kimbro doesn’t really care that much about whether people have access to abortion. But he believes that Republicans risk being punished in elections over all the draconian state laws banning abortion, so for now he is going to promote something that he believes will wake Republicans…

what will happen when you elect them, and they sneak in bail reform and decriminalize non-violent crimes

Regardless of how you are positioning this, it takes all of the agency from Pugh. She consented to date him. For all we know, she pursued him, and not the other way around. To suggest that men dating younger women is a matter of wanting inequitable relationships suggests that the women in those relationships are just…

You’re setting new conditions here. Regardless of age difference, if you have authority over someone else, as a teacher would over students, or if those students are not adults, then clearly consent is an issue. That’s not an apples to applies comparison with Pugh and Braff. They were just two adult actors who got…

Why does an older person of any gender have to date within a specific range, as long as the other party is a consenting adult?

Forget reproductive choices, if women aren’t fully developed adults until 25, that means no more entering into contracts without a parent or guardian cosigning, or full-time work.

No, no, it’s only soft, ladybrains that aren’t capable of thought until age 30 or so. 

Cool. Any thoughts to share about Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron’s 24-year age difference? Can’t say I’ve ever seen anything derogatory here regarding their age difference... and theirs is more worthy of questioning, by way of timing, than Florence Pugh and Zach Braff’s.

Cool take. What, in your esteem, is the maximum acceptable age difference between people? If it varies depending on the respective parties’ gender identities and sexual orientations, please advise as to where you draw the relevant “bright lines” of decency.

They’re both consenting adults. There’s no indication Braff did anything untoward with her, therefore no reason for any of us to bitch about it OR bully Pugh about it enough to break it off.

Braff hangs around in Hollywood, a place famous for employing men of any age and pairing them with women super young. Which means that most connections to women he’s gonna make through work or even work friends are going to be (in average) way younger women.
