Man, you are judgy.

Roseanne Barr can fuck off.

He directed somewhere around 40 or so movies, so if The Color Purple is the only one, her point is still somewhat valid. It’s around 2-3% of his movies :)

Here, sure. But Twitter is of course, not being very forgiving.

It’s not like it invalidates her point. “Oh, there was that one movie. Okay, nevermind.”

Erm, what did she say that was racist? She probably just forgot the 4 films he’s made with female protagonists.

If this is an example of “racism,” the word truly has no meaning anymore.

The point that Steven Spielberg directs far, far, far more movies about men than women seems fair.

Unfort. this is also the kind of snap judgment that makes women feel like they have to consent to unwanted touch. Heaven forbid folks think we’re assholes (bitches). :/

He has no idea who Kesha is and doesn’t care.

I absolutely support a person’s right to say no. No unwanted attention, no unwanted touching. Ever.

I think that’s a shitty and reductionist way of looking at things, and I pretty much immediately disregard anyone who uses the term “victim” or “victimhood” as a pejorative these days. There are no victims or whiners: There are people who see problems and want them to be fixed and be better. People who don’t subscribe…

Again: You’re not wrong about it, but they didn’t do anything to help the situation, they just kept perpetuating business as usual(with an additional corporatist veneer). This is not some kind of conspiracy theory or confirmation bias(though it’s interesting to see that you jump to passive aggressive insults like that…

Lol ok.

By making a big chunk of young people actually give a shit about it for once?

Thank you for this, and because I am growing more surly by the day, let me also say that I love the hand wringing that is going on down the thread.

Suppose I was a high ranking republican woman, who was accusing a political enemy of rape, in a situation in which the republican party would stand to gain if that person were arrested in the US so that we could extradite to a significantly more powerful ally.

Would you believe me?

Actually I am a ‘far right’ nihilist anarchist.

Whoops.

I am just suspicious that a political party who was in power at the time, had two well connected members who accused a man who does great harm to various governments are various times, of rape.

A crime which is particularly heinous and difficult to prove.

Also I…

How am I a troll? Because I asked for a source?
