I’d like to try to explain, from first hand experience, how a woman with means, knowledge, and (on the surface) agency can succumb to an abusive man. I’ll point out that your comment comes across as shaming an abused woman of color in her darkest hour.

Nazis made a lot of things actually 

Without the possessive apostrophe, but yes, Nazis made lots of stuff. Mostly, they made other people dead.

Yup! And I think it’s a dude. Which shouldn’t matter, but it feel especially incelly when it’s a dude. My comment that was flagged:

oh so that’s why my comment disappeared

The "she should have known better" people should just click the link and read the original NYT piece. It literally lays out exactly how this unfolded between the two of them, with additional general context about how abusive relationships develop. I was pleasantly surprised by their coverage, which is often overly…

I think bookNends sums it up pretty well - working on a movie together about his troubling past was probably emotionally intense and created the illusion that he had any kind of self awareness/recovery. If you read the original article from the Times, she also talks specifically about how he exhibited classic abusive…

Putting this here for Knope Grope is Last Hope in case they decide to flag my comment again:

Exactly! She went through and flagged everyone that disagreed with her. 

Wild that I, an alcoholic in recovery, never abused anyone or anything except the alcohol in all those years. Not even I am sure how I achieved it. /s

“I’m not in any position to tell anyone how my behavior made them feel. “I have no excuses for my alcoholism or aggression, only rationalizations. I have been abusive to myself and everyone around me for years. I have a history of hurting the people closest to me. I’m ashamed of that history and am sorry to those I…

TThat’s a little harsh.

That’s just the “H”.

I think both of you are really being unfair in this situation. FKA Twigs starred with Shia in the movie about this abusive childhood and alcoholism. She probably thought he has overcome his demons and was involved in this very intense movie. I’m sure they bonded very quickly and deeply than normal while making the film…

Just spitballin’ here but how about a giant company like Disney lobby that legendary statesman Mitch McConnell to pass a huge relief bill so people who work at Disney didn’t have to risk their lives going to a fucking amusement park during a pandemic. I’m really fucking sick of the bullshit of pitting workers vs. emplo…

The pathetic part is to only take pictures of mask wearers without otherwise enforcing the mask policy. 

My sister and her family went to Disney World the week before Thanksgiving (with about 10-15 other people in my BIL’s family) and my partner’s sister and mom just got back from Disney World on Tuesday.

Yes. And I’m saying I can’t exactly muster the energy to care that it makes him sad that his movie is going to be on a streaming service and in theaters on the same day instead of just in theaters later because of all the dead people.

Nolan wanted Tenet to be released in middle of pandemic (and it did).

Which is the literal opposite of what Nolan did with releasing Tenet right in the middle of pandemic.
