This story is as baffling as it is horrifying. This woman, by her own admission, chose to cruelly kill her pet. But she claims someone else suggested that she do it, and she feels really bad about it, so she’s certain she’s the real victim here.

I’m an addiction counselor in a rural area, and most of my clients are poor, low-functioning, and have low educational levels. Many of them have no transportation or internet access. They often have unstable housing.

I could not be happier you aren’t my mother.

Respectfully, I wonder if you understate the importance of the original. My parents watched it and I do think it sort of eased my coming-out process— at a time where I felt uncertain about how, for example, my dad might feel about me, I knew he liked these five gay men on his TV once a week. They were like a gay…

I would say that our President Dotard has a Mussolini on the balcony quality, but he lacks Benito’s good looks, wit or charm.

There are no fucking words after that, none. He’s finished, done. I’ve heard some attempted defences of people over the course of the post-Weinstein saga but never anything so extraordinarily disregarding of what actually happened as this with Tarantino wanting to be a pedant about the legal definition of rape all of…

I’m looking forward to this bringing down Tarantino. Overrated hack

Ha, I’m not active on PSN these days, but any place where politically aware white women and women of color gather will find white women embarrassing themselves.

I bet all those super liberal feminist women were the ones voting for Trump. Look, it is a useful statistic, but it gets a little ridiculous how often it gets pulled out as a trump card. My over 95% white town in rural New England voted 88% for Clinton, and the rest was split between Trump and Gary whatisname.…

It was a sarcastic comment, making fun of all the people who say that crap.

the thread was begun by a popcorn gif, so i feel like I was playing INTO the spirit of the thread, but I recognize that the internet is not the place for subtlety.

correct. “/s” is internet slang for “sarcasm”

As fucked up as it is I think they pushed the story that she pursued him. IIRC, since Soon Ye was adopted and they don’t know her true age; implying she was 20 or 21, not 18. In a way, the relationship helped push the idea that Mia made use the molestation to get back at them.

Well, that’s why friends are friends. If you’re ready to cut someone off because a non-friend made an accusation, maybe you aren’t really friends. Nobody said being a true friend was easy or cost-free.

Oh, hell no. Walk that old ladies don’t understand talk right back. Mia Farrow, Oprah, and many other women disprove that ageist baloney. “General response” my ass. Go forth and troll no more.

I find it interesting that people are like “You can’t deny a woman’s lived experience” but that seems to just go out the window if they’re old. If they’re old their lived experience must be wrong/delusional/compromised.

There’s also the matter of what do friendship and loyalty mean today. Anything? Of course she’s going to back him, that’s what friends are supposed to do, even if it’s difficult. That’s how you know they’re real friends.

I think it was dumb of Keaton to post the tweet, and dumb of Dunham to comment about the rape accusation against her friend withouth anyone asking her to do so, but I really don’t see what’s wrong with saying sexual assault and pedophilia are wrong, and male entitlement is widespread, while also believing your friend…

She dated him, he directed her in career defining roles, she loves him. Ergo she has a massive blind spot regarding him.
