I think some of the ire that’s being directed at people professionally is the fact that their profession shielded them from legal justice at the time. There’s an attitude of, “The legal system didn’t do its job, so we have to do it, if only to protect future victims.” The question then, is, okay, so what is…

Roman Polanski. Victor Salva. Both jailbirds. Both still working.

“This is what you said. You don’t know this is true.”

Eh, you’re probably right that some if it is just hyperbole. I don’t know. It’s just that the rabidly anti-Twilight, anti-FiftyShades, anti-Coldplay, anti-fillinyourownthing kind of pop culture critique makes me angry when I think it’s being used as a signifier of personal worth.

He’s not going to truly pay for his crimes, no matter what. I doubt they could arrest him at this point, although I haven’t researched the statute of limitations for child molestation.

I don’t think you should trust or support him. I just don’t think other people necessarily shouldn’t. Committing a crime (yes, including murder) doesn’t mean you are forever out of your chosen field of work—unless you use your work to abuse people, again, like Spacey and Weinstein.

Yeah. And the pose of, “I don’t even get why half-naked movie stars are sexy,” seems especially hollow when the site cannot stop talking about the films. It’s like a fourteen-year-old going trick-or-treating and grabbing up the candy while yelling, “Mooooooom, this is for babies.”

I agree to all of this. But I’m sick of people are falling all over themselves talking about how unsexy it is out of a desperate need to put others down to make themselves feel good. Look at the quote: “That is about the same level of sexiness as, say, brushing your teeth with an 18-month-old toothbrush, or reading a…

I don’t think it’s universally sexy, but I’m just sick of people being like, “Fifty shades is as sexy as digging around in an infected anus ha ha ha ha I’m funny!” I don’t find the Kardashians, or lesbian porn, or boy bands sexy but I’m not falling all over myself constantly asking the world why other people do. It’s…

But Woody Allen isn’t abusing anyone. I don’t like him. I don’t want to watch his films. (Which is lucky, and I think part of the reason the younger generation can condemn him is his films don’t speak to us the way they did past generations. We’re not giving anything up.) But the allegations are he *abused* someone in…

I don’t know why people keep acting like the 50 shades movies are not sexy. They’re not good. They’re not to be taken seriously. But not sexy? Pretty people with a modicum of acting talent doing sex to each other is at least as sexy as the average porn and people manage to get off to that every day.

Headline should read, “Local Branch of Global Pedophile Ring Expels Member for Loving Marital Relationship With Adult.”

I’m guessing “No, you can’t bring a rodent on a plane,” works better.

That would mean that they have to carry a supply unpickable locks made to fit every possible kind of small animal cage at every airport.

I’m guessing that after one or two planes got grounded until the airline found the rat/gerbil/hamster/ferret/snake that a passenger swore up and down they wouldn’t let out of its cage during the flight, they instituted a policy of only letting animals on that were too small to cause a fuss but too big to hide.

Looking at the story, it’s clear she supplied a bunch of pictures of the hamster, and then a fucking selfie. How dense can you be? Every comment I’ve read so far has been people seeing if she can be charged for animal abuse. I have a feeling she’s gonna have it tough for the next few weeks at least.

If “ableism” means judging college-aged adults who take in animals and then cruelly kill them when they become inconvenient, then I hope it’s here to stay. Actually, “ableism” is prejudging to someone due to their mental or physical disability. We’re not doing that. We’re judging her by her disgustingly cruel actions…

What’s insane is that she must have called the paper with the story. How did she not realize that this made her look like a monster?

Not even disbanded? What the living fuck?

I’ll try this again. Did you read the article? Because it details the author’s personal experience with PUA guys, and how those guys tried to make her and her friend feel bad for *looking at them the wrong way*. Then it talks about how PUA feels to women, written by a woman who has read all the literature and watched…
