This is a man who lied and gaslit his victims right up until the NYT splashed his lies to the world. Who threatened their careers until his own career blew up in the backfire, and ONLY THEN said something. This is not an apology, this is a last ditch frantic weasel-scramble to escape justice.

How about you be honest & accept that this ‘apology’ is just more gaslighting from a hypocrite who literally lied about this until it was splashed on the front of the NYT? Sorry he got caught & is being punished now with real financial & reputational consequences - the karma for the career-killing he and his manager…

Narcissist’s Creed ‘apologies’ -

Shades of Joss Whedon’s excuses for taking advantage of young actresses there...

There is virtually identical discourse about ‘modesty’ down to the same memes and exact turns of phrase, amongst conservative Catholics and Evangelical.

You know how some authors have two different pen names, depending on what genre they’re writing in? Yeah....

Nonsense! Obviously the sensible thing to do is keep giving them giant v-twins until they learn to like it!

Be careful: a lot of companies now hiring have started demanding to know what you’re being paid at current/previous jobs so that they can lowball you in the new one, too. Because having a budget to get the best person for the job by paying them what they’re worth is so mid-20th century, apparently...

You seriously didn’t understand that was referring to being paralyzed from a broken neck?!

And also of this:

He’s mentioned before that his grandmother used to get quite sadistic, forcing him to kneel on sharp rocks or put them in his shoes as a small child when she caught him with “satanic” comic books and fantasy stories, and various other nightmarish, hinted-at family events that help explain why he dedicated The Devil’s…

And Talos, the giant Man of Bronze from mythology, predates the Golem...

It’s a boast - no, really, that comes up in the Atlantic article, that he dresses like a hobo just rolled off the latest train in the yard as a way of showing his ‘genuineness’ that he’s not like the other Hollywood CEOs who dress to impress - because he doesn’t HAVE to, he has the power to shlub about in public like…

You’re only supposed to sympathize with the Evil Overlord’s henchmen IF they’re morally conflicted AND that signals they’re about to make their Face Turn to help save the day. Otherwise, it’s just self-indulgent angst at best, and being a Minor Villain themselves, at worst. The assistant - and your ‘serial killer’s…

Also corporate power, industry gatekeeping power, celebrity, any number of other social power modes...but for some reason I don’t think any of these are the ‘right’ answer that poster was looking for....

They really don’t know what to do, do they? when a large & increasing number, of their victims retort, ‘Publish and be damned to you, sir!’ Attempted blackmail really doesn’t work at that point, when enough of the world has decided that being a mustache-twirling silent movie villain is actually a worse thing to be,…

She’s gone and done it, according to latest reports. Apparently she or her financial advisors read the same stars/leaves as you.

Hear, hear! We don’t give the Supervillain’s not-quite-as-evil Chief Henchbeing a pass, just because they’re a bit conflicted and in a tough place as an only-slightly-less-disposable minion, do we? Then why should we give their real-life inspirations one, either?

A grown BLACK man. That’s a crucial point here. Intersectionality, demonstrated as blatantly as possible. Just another way of calling Crews ‘boy’ in the 21st century.

I believe they are actually building it into helmets now, at least.
