As a guy, I just want to say that this is tough. I want to be clear that the guys who did this stuff was wrong, but men are left in a Catch-22. I’m sure I will be eviscerated, but here goes the reasoning.

It does seem like it’s time to admit though, that kneeling during the anthem angers a lot of people

Mindless displays of nationalism are, by and large, stupid and idiotic at best, dangerous at worst. Singing the national anthem before a fucking sports game is a tradition that needs to stop yesterday. Uncritical notions of nationalistic exceptionalism are extremely dangerous, and I forever look forward to the day…

If you speak on a topic in a public setting you don’t bother to research you are deserving of all public scorn that comes your way.

It’s gotten to the point where if you’re a disingenuous racist, you’re perceived as some kind of disingenuous racist, and calling people exactly what they are is not helping at all.

Except those people’s willful ignorance and tacit acceptance of systemic racism isn’t valid and okay, not everyone’s a winner, and you don’t get a cookie for simply having an opinion.

That’s—that’s not how the voice of God works...

If you are against the kneeling, you are an uneducated (perhaps willfully, on this topic) bigot.

Or it could be a matter of telling the lie so often in an attempt to make it the truth.

Don’t eat Papa John’s. He’s still a racist, but he just wants to be less overt about it. It’s not for nothing that Nazi numbnuts chose his pizza

You’re just going to keep piling on irrelevant questions, I guess?

What do either one of those things have to do with anything?

Learn to tell one, fella.

Jesus fucking CHRIST you are a terrible human being. Flinging abuse at someone because they don’t behave the way you think a victim should? You’d do great service in Trump’s justice department, you abusive piece of shit.

Honestly I think the whole claim is silly. I’ve been groped in gay bars by men a lot less appealing than Kevin Spacey and it wasn’t hard to get over. If it’s continued and prolonged abuse then that’s one thing, but a one-off dick grabbing shouldn’t be a big deal for most gay men.

There are different kinds of PTSD and some variants can be cured quicker than others. Open your mind.

His lawyer told him to plead the fifth, but he already drank it

Ending a show starring a man outed for raping a 14 year old (who didn’t even deny the claims and deflected by coming out) seems pretty fucking reasonable to me. A lot of the allegations against Cosby, Weinstein, Polanski, and Allen are decades old too. We ignoring those as well?

I doubt it’ll come back up anytime soon. Season 6 might just be quietly cancelled in a couple of months entirely which might be for the best all round.
