Wahlberg stopped his bad behaviour and recognized (it appears) the error of his ways. I am not seeing that with Spacey or Weinstein.

Not expunged, just a full unconditional pardon. It would remain on his record, but he would be absolved of the legal restrictions that he received from the convictions. He even mentions in the pardon request that he's very open about the terrible things he did and that they're the reason for his philanthropic efforts.

I think it's worthwhile to note that Trinh, the Vietnamese man he beat nearly to death, supported his pardon after Wahlberg met him to apologize and spent so many years working to repent for his youth. It was only denied because he didn't meet a paperwork deadline.

For a long time the only word from him about beating up that guy was an article where Wahlberg said he didn't feel any guilt over it because of all the good work he's done since, and that sort of soured a lot of people's (including mine) opinions on him.

Credit where credit is due, he said he regretted applying for the pardon because of all the bad feelings it stirred up, but it at least gave him the opportunity to apologize to the guy.

Cars and action are fine but why bring it to something like TNG? Those movies became worse because they tried to become action stars. With JJTrek the action was fine because that's how the movies were always designed to be. With Patrick Stewart and the other lumpy actors it was painfully shoehorned in.

My favorite Patrick Stewart thing is that he was initially embarrassed about coming to America to do some lovely scifi show. But a year later all his British theater friends were begging him to get them a job on TV.

It's just really weird to see that being mentioned in a conversation about celebs who are bad people. Like right next to people who are literal rapists. It's not something that makes him a bad person in any way. Especially when Roddenberry was such a trash person.

You sweet summer child, you haven't visited the ol' hellthread. Incels believe that sex is an economic commodity that women have 100% monopolistic control over (because of feminism), and that "normies" (the below-average to average people with girlfriends at walmart) are inherently cucked, and therefore are being stolen from, because their women have hosed other people in the past, and are definitely loving Chad on the side right now. They don't want the woman at walmart who will settle for a regular person. They want a pristine teenage virgin who will give 100% of her available sex to her first boyfriend who she also marries first.

Yea, without repeating the same stuff from a few pages ago, I just don't see all of those resons as genuine, I think it's just a wall they put up to avoid having to think about what's really going on and why they're in the position they're in.

The bottom line is they don't have the most basic of social skills to be able to talk to a woman, no matter how attractive or unattractive, and so it's easier to pretend like you want something that society is denying you rather than to admit you could have it, but just don't want to put in the effort.

Yeah, I get that. Just I'm also ready to believe that an internet echo chamber has created some completely monstrous beings who think women are sex automatons who need to be controlled like livestock.

For what it's worth, I, a fat nerd who loves cartoons, due to incomprehensible societal forces, can't seem to go more than 4 months without acquiring some kind of romantic partner. Something about my rotund, beardy exterior apparently screams "boyfriend material". I think it's about having realistic standards and treating people well :shrug:

During Ms. Goodman and Ms. Wolov’s surreal visit to Louis C.K.’s Aspen hotel room, they said they were holding onto each other, screaming and laughing in shock, as Louis C.K. masturbated in a chair. “We were paralyzed,” Ms. Goodman said. After he ejaculated on his stomach, they said, they fled. He called after them: “He was like, ‘Which one is Dana and which one is Julia?’

---

Ms. Corry also received an email from Louis C.K., which was obtained by The Times, saying he owed her a “very very very late apology.” When he phoned her, he said was sorry for shoving her in a bathroom. Ms. Corry replied that he had never done that, but had instead asked to masturbate in front of her. Responding in a shaky voice, he acknowledged it and said, “I used to misread people back then,” she recalled.

The call confounded her, Ms. Corry said: not only had he misremembered the incident, which made her think there were other moments of misconduct, he also implied she had done something to invite his behavior. “It is unfair he’s put me or anyone else in this position,” Ms. Corry said.

There's also the fact that there are tons of women out there who are attracted to heavier guys(along with every other body type), and there are also plenty of women out there who want a guy who shares their nerdy hobbies.

Speaking for myself, I never felt like I had to purposely relax my "standards", but as I've left my 20's and entered my 30s I just find myself legitimately physically attracted to all kinds of different women for tons of different reasons. All(or almost all) of the different shapes and sizes do it for me in their own way, but maybe some guys never get out of that mode where every girl they talk to has to fit the specific mold that they developed a liking for in their high school/college years.

I remember that. The IOSM thread was making fun of the article because it's basically "I went to confront Louis CK about sexual misconduct rumors, a bunch of people told me not to, I started crying and gave up", not because anyone doubted that Louis CK was capable of sexual misconduct.

Does it ever seem like a lot of these incel guys don't really care that much about sex as much as they do the status boost they think they'd get from being able to show up with the prettiest girl in school on their arm? I know it's a bit of a tired cliche to say that terrible nerds on the Internet are terrible because they never got past high school (cf. gamers who complained about the Wii and party gaming making the hobby too accessible to those drat jocks etc.) but there's got to be some truth to it.

I guess it seems like that because they've never actually had sex, so it's hard to genuinely care about something that you've never experienced. So sex is the thing that's being held up as THE obstacle between them and a normal happy life, but they aren't being honest with themselves and I think that comes out pretty clearly in a lot of these statements that get posted here.
