Lol jesus christ get some air. My comment about Fences was to a post that said Denzel should present Best Actress since he shouldve won. All I said was I didnt watch Manchester by the Sea but loved Fences. Big deal. Im not pretending racism doesnt exist or that I don’t benefit from the racism this country is built…

I always think of Christian Bale finding some inspiration from Cruise for Patrick Bateman. Intense niceness with vacant cold eyes

Ive only been on two other threads on this article. On one I just said I really enjoyed Fences so if thats “dog whistling shit out of arguments” to you then I dont know what to say. Dont blame me or my non-existent MRA viewpoint if you want to get pissed off over nothing.

No, I found the need to defend myself against people who seem to lack basic comprehension. I asked a question and only one user bothered to keep to that point without accusing me of trying to defend abusers or put the emotional burden on women when it comes to abuse. I appreciated their responses since they actually…

And the sentence I wrote right after the one you cherry picked:

Yeah, I can see what you mean.

I haven’t tried to play Devil’s advocate with anything regarding Casey Affleck or the allegations against him. In hindsight, I should have stated things more clearly to avoid misunderstands. I was talking about it if there are, in fact, any viable positions to play devil’s advocate from which can lead to a healthy…

The OP wasnt playing Devils advocate in any sense to me. It’s a simple question to a “damned if he does, damned if he doesnt” situation.

I said “generally speaking” in my initial reply. Nothing about sexual abuse or harassment. Because I agree with you and sit down and shut the fuck up when it comes to it.

Thats what I actually mean by “Devils advocate”. To examine something from all viable angles. That, to me, is a good thing. It makes people think about their own views on something and gives them an opportunity to see it from a different pov.

And what’s wrong with playing devil’s advocate,generally speaking? It gives an opportunity for actual discussion instead of a circle jerk of agreement.

It’s taking any and all opportunities to ridicule him.

Didn’t even watch Manchester by the Sea so can’t judge it on acting merits but I loved Fences.

That’s assuming he actually is guilty of what he’s been accused of. I’m not saying that he’s not guilty but pointing out it takes fuck all for people to think someone is guilty of something. It reminds me of stories of people who were cleared of crimes after years in prison. Never released on parole because part of…

“Bankability” can be a shitty excuse at times but it’s not complete bullshit. Why give millions to someone when there’s a low percentage of return or profit?

I was 5 in 1992. Grew up knowing he was a creep but didn’t hear about Dylan until 2014. Even then the reporting was inconsistent

Ive wondered this as well but havent read extensively about this kind of thing. Youd think thered be someone somewhere with similar experiences with him. As horrible as it sounds its bizarre that Dylan is his only accuser.

This has always bothered me about her. Defend Polanski for decades while condemning Allen. It only gives credibility to the vindictive narrative

Ive always wondered if and where are other victims.

I know otherwise reasonably intelligent people who STILL think OJ is innocent. Cant give a remotely plausible explanation as to why or how the LAPD planted evidence when many of them walked away with autographs after Nicole would call. Including Furman.
