This is why I don’t see it as harassment or abuse. When she used non-verbal signals she wasn’t into his advances... well, we don’t exactly know what they were, and because she also gave non-verbal signals that she wanted to participate in sexual acts (oral sex twice, once reciprocated by him) i can see how that would…

I agree as well. There were many points in that story where it seemed she did have the power and control of the sitiation, and chose to stay.

Anyone know why they’re calling it “aggravated indecent assault?”—is there such a thing as a “gentle and decent” type of assault i’m not aware of? He raped her. He raped many women. Why can’t we call it that?

Is he really complaining for having to do the basic duties he would be responsible for as a manager? Also, if he got credited on the song, that means he profited and still profits from it. So what’s the problem?

haha. I hope there’s some plan behind them. And that his move doesn’t bite them in the ass.

I understand that, but someone desperate enough could violate that. My point is, unless they know 100% who’s involved and how powerful those connections are, how can they risk it.

yes, and so she can continue being their sex slave. She could have stayed on her O-1 visa, but Raniere didn’t want her to work.

Edit: Ever* not even

Didn’t they find her fleeing to Mexico? Also, she married someone just to get around from being incriminated further, no? This doesn’t seem like the type of person who would abide by law. Why in the holy fuck is she not considered a flight risk? And also allowed out on bail? If there’s even been a case for disallowing…

“Did you think it was appropriate to be in a married man’s room at the time?”

I read blind items that allege the Kardashians were always aware of his cheating, and that actually the baby’s been born already as of a day or a couple days ago, so I’m side-eyeing that tidbit in this article saying they think the baby “will come earlier.”

Correct, I wasn’t. I thought we were just arguing the case of him being charged for his friend’s death since that’s what this article focused on, not the other incidents in the case. If they found just cause to charge him for his involvement in those other crimes, then by all means. But since the cop killing his…

You said they got Lakeith “the same way” they got Manson. Except they “got” Manson because he ordered the killings, so he is guilty by proxy. They had enough just cause to charge him and sentence him with what he got. Here they relied on a racist, broken system, to “get” Lakeith “the same way.”

It was a hypothetical, which I had to provide because you say the situations are the same, and they are not.

Your argument doesn’t apply in this situation. In order to equate it you would have to have a scenario in which Charles Manson kills a person himself, but instead they charge a different person that was with him for the murder. And not only let Manson go free, but also say that his killing was justified, but the…

But if the killing by the cop was justified, therefore not murder, then why is it considered murder when they blame the kid for it?

Here’s what I don’t get (I mean, this whole thing is a glaring miscarriage of justice, but unfortunately it’s the reality now)...... If the cop shot the 16yr-old because he had a gun (was aiming it or w.e), in most cases, shooting him, would be considered justified, self-defence, etc. But because they deem it his…

Np! I’m actually surprised this is not as well known as other tropes. I feel like I see some version of it all the time. And like you, even without being able to point out exactly what it was or was it’s called, it always left a bad taste in my mouth. I always just picture it as very wish-fulfilment type of trope for…

It looks fun, but... Elle Fanning’s character is giving me “Born Sexy Yesterday” vibes (a sexualized woman with the mind of a child, and plays the love interest to unremarkable men/guys) I’m hoping someday this will get as tiring as the Manic Pixie Dream Girl. (it’s worth watching the whole video, the trope/theory is…

It’s a promotional thing. The song Taylor is about to release as a single, “Delicate” there are lyrics about “you and your dark jeans and nikes” (i paraphrase). So for this pap walk he had to be wearing that.
