Y’all are being way too harsh. I’m sure he has a really good reason for why he enabled and protected Harvey Weinstein’s rapery. Something so convincing that we’d all say, “you were absolutely right to help blow up the lives of fellow artists. You’re really not a piece of shit!”
Eta: Apparently, my sarcasm was too subtle. The fact that people aren’t catching onto that is incredibly depressing because that means this was a believably shitty take. I really thought the last sentence was a dead giveaway…
Humanity and satire are dead, killed by genuine ghouls who are totally cool supporting monsters.
I really thought that my sarcasm was obvious, especially with that last sentence… Apparently there are people out there who are more openly shitty than I realized.
There’s never a good reason to enable and protect rape.
Any standard set lower than this should be grounds to get throat-punched.
Allegedly, he was aware of Harvey Weinstein’s abuse, at least according to Rose McGowan. And since a lot of people are reactionary as fuck, since she accused him of being aware, then they act and behave as if he was undoubtedly aware and complicit in it.
But seriously, it is far easier being on the outside, pointing and casting blame, but for us old enough to remember all the people who were blackballed, run out of the business, and even murdered for exposing sexual abuse, it is hard to tell.
And on top of that, there are cases where a third party has exposed the abuse, to which both the victim and perpetrator deny the accusations, and it just ends up terribly for the whistleblower.
Yet, back to the point, we’re on reddit lemmy, where nuance goes to die.
He always looks like he knows he’s a piece of shit and feels bad about it.
he was great in Mallrats!
Fictional characters! Am I getting through to you at all?
Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms, yo.
doesn’t make him not an absolute bastard

Its just the internet and text, sarcasm doesnt translate; Poe’s law

I just realized that you’re probably being sarcastic, though.

Yeah, there are absolutely people who honestly believe that exposing Weinstein was a bad thing. Humans suck.
Oh, a sailboat!
Somebody help! That boy is stuck in the escalator!
What did he do?

The things is, EVERYONE was aware. But he was so powerful, and literally controlled everyone’s future. What was he supposed to do?
I wasn’t /s

redditlemmy, where nuance goes to die.Can’t believe people are down voting you.
Even Lemmy has tunnel vision on their celebrity idols.
Dude is a fucking douchebag and way overrated as an actor and director.
Who the fuck always casts themselves in their own movies and is NOT a d-bag.
Mel Brooks
Ok, you got me.
They weren’t starring roles at least. 😂
I don’t care. Their boos fuel me.
