Because something greedy Jews (but not the good Israeli kind).

Maybe he’s a Method actor and hasn’t yet been able to shake off Stannis’ gloominess and sense of doubt.

Isn’t it her own business how she views something that happened to her? Its not like he raped her and she has Stockholm syndrome or something.

But my rigid black and white morality really saves me time on thinking!

I mean, I’m essentially saying judge not lest ye be judged, and you’re saying we should judge literally everybody based on who they associate with. “Your friend was a rapist, so then you must be one too!” You’re essentially advocating a return to McCarthyism. Reactionary bullshit like that always works out so well!

It depends on the severity of what they did, of course. I wouldn’t be able to forgive a rapist in my family but imagine that you found out that your father or your brother or your uncle had exposed himself to someone. You’re telling me that you’d tell them that you don’t love them anymore and never speak to them

Compulsive, rude and gross.

That’s it. Not sexual assault. Not “predatory.”

“Can you love someone who did bad things?”

“No. If a person is imperfect, you must disavow them and everything they’ve ever touched.”—half of the internet

This issue is as old as time. Powerful people take advantage of the weak. The shock some people are feeling is shocking to me. People must be held accountable rather than falling back to, “That’s just the way it’s always been.” Wherever someone has power over another, the circumstance is ripe for abuse.

Yes. An artist being a monster in their personal affairs [assuming they don’t bleed into their art] has as much baring on their product as any other person.

If it came to light that Jobs, Gates, Turing, and Babbage were all card-carrying Nazis, would you throw out all your computing devices (computer, smartphone, etc)

No amount of refusing to watch Kevin Spacey movies is going to suddenly make sexual harassment disappear from society. This notion that people are going to cause real change by individual sacrifice is generally a fallacy. It’s like thinking the environment is going to be saved by a small cadre of people buying special

To #2, I don’t know that this is an easy sacrifice to a lot of people. John Lennon beat his wife, Michael Jackson was probably a pedophile, nearly every ‘90s rapper I love is misogynistic as shit.

So, joking about horrifically murdering people? Fine and dandy, no problem. Joke about rape? Unacceptable. Seems a bit arbitrary.

I would like to preemptively apologize for everything I did in the past that no one paid attention to at the time, but looks really bad now in light of current events.

“He also adds that he knows rape can impact anyone’s life, and he’s “seen firsthand its painful torment” among his friends and family.”

He’s not splitting hairs, though.

I bet the (currently) 58 people dead are stoked that their deaths are being used as fodder for AVClub to ridicule Trump’s speech.

I assume you mean, “‘No Way to Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens”?

This "Good Place" looks dull to you but it wasn't tailored for you.
It was tailored for the people there.
Your version would be much different.
