You keep saying "this isn't a court" like a court is the only place where evidence or facts should matter. Nobody should be free to make serious accusations like this without some semblance of proof and if they do choose to, it isn't on me or anyone else to simply accept it as truth.

In response to what makes him more trustworthy in this situation, for me it's not that he is some beacon of truth not to be questioned--it's that she herself has gone about this in an underhand manner with conflicting information. So she, in essence, has *lost* the benefit of the doubt from me whereas he still has it.

And Algren, nope--no Bill Maher writer here, just someone who agrees with him on many things. Based on their public personas/stated thoughts, I consider myself the bastard son of Bill Maher & Judge Judy ;) Big fan of personal responsibility!


Nothing she did was underhanded. And nothing she did conflicted anything she said.

As I've said, her "wanting to get back with him" doesn't dispute anything she previously said.

My previous wife cheated on me, and we lived together for months before she left me. And I still wanted to know what I could do to save the marriage. It's not hard to believe she wanted to get back together.

A guy from the Oakland Raiders is suing a women who falsely accused him of rape, causing him to drop in the draft.

I’m all for lyIng bitches getting sued, but I hope this doesn’t become the market correction to the #MeToo movement. As in, women could be afraid to come forward since not having enough proof could lead to financial ruin.

Women should report abuse, harassment right once it happens, this would solve a lot of problems with proof and old stuff needing to be digged up.

You're right! They should! Except most of the times, it's a traumatic experience.

Most of the time, it's not harassment....until their relationship with the accused turns sour, and then all those consensual fucks get labelled as aBuSe, and they didn't report it because they "feared" for their "careers".

ScarJo's trasngender movie controversy is an interesting case. I totally don't blame her for bailing on it. She already went through something similar with Ghost in the Shell, but at least that came with a $20m payday.

On the other hand, this was one of the dumbest backlashes ever. "How dare an actor pretend to be something they are not!" This movie will probably not even get released now. Good job folks.

That wasn't the point of the backlash. The point was that people want more exposure for transgender actors. There are barely any transgender roles out there, so when one comes up, why shouldn't they get cast? Unless you're ok with Hollywood just saying fuck it and casting men for all roles.

Though I'd say it being ScarJo had a decent part in it.

Chris Hardwick was reinstated by AMC. Seems like a fair decision as things started to go against Chloe's accusation, and I'm sure their investigation told them the same thing. Credit to AMC for taking a stand when hiring a host without baggage would have been easier

I would've preferred their replacement host, YNB.

CBS paid a settlement to Ilyanna Douglas after Moonves fucked with her. That doesn’t seem good for his version of events.

Hell they even quote Scorsese who put Douglas in touch with his attorney after she told him what happened. I can’t imagine someone like Marty has any vendetta against Moonves.

With many accusers and a Ronan Farrow expose this is the type that seems cut and dry true

Deadline reports that Moonves is likely to step down pending the outcome of an independent investigation.

I'd imagine this will go down like John Lasseter. Leave of absence, doesn't come back.

The entire cast of Guardians of the Galaxy came out today in support of Gunn, asking for him to be reinstated as director of the third film.

He made jokes about child molestation and rape. He obviously was quite sick in the head when he tweeted that crap, and why would he not delete it? Guardians of the Galaxy came out in 2014, he's had so much time. Quite sketchy, IMO.

Because what would I search for if I wanted to delete old tweets from 10 years ago? I don't remember posts from 5 years ago. He could've done a Rian Johnson, but then he'd have dozens of articles questioning why he deleted thousands of old tweets.

They were bad jokes. Jokes. Who gives a flying fuck?

And I say this as someone that isn’t a fan, he comes across as a total prick 90% of the time.

The Gunn situation was a smear-job--he was targeted by an alt-right troll (Cernovich has said all manner of vile comments about rape/women/and more, by the way) solely to be an irritant. Cernovich wasn't motivated by morality or ethics or fear for the youngsters or simply being "offended" by Gunn's comments from years ago, so nobody pretend this is all for the sake of the children.

Also, why is it that people who make light of taboo subjects are "sick in the head" or "pedophiles" or whatever other baseless nonsense but people who make serious movies/shows/shorts/etc aren't accused of the same?

I mean, Gunn made lewd comments in the name of "humor" yet things like Hereditary, Emelie, Hostel, Human Centipede, and so much more rub your face in decapitated children, a chick changing her tampon in front of kids to fuck with them (among other things...), graphically cutting up people's bodies for entertainment value, sewing assholes to mouths and SO MUCH MORE yet all those people are given the thumbs up for further work and not even really questioned? If making inappropriate comments on the internet is unforgivably sick and termination-worthy then I'm a little lost as to why, again, things like what I've summarized are above board and not "sick in the head" or cause for alarm from the same people clutching their pearls about Gunn's comments.

The entire entertainment industry is full of taboo, inappropriate topics being explored so to simply target people based on political motivations and pretend otherwise is a crock of shit. Disney was a fool to react so strongly/quickly (to things Gunn already addressed years ago, by the way) and anyone duped into debating the merit of the lewd comments from years past has already fallen for Cernovich's con.
