What a horrible thread to have a post.

Check this out: You can use the correct pronouns even though that person is an rear end in a top hat. You don't need to go all "his this" and he" that" to get back at them for being a violent asshat, it just makes you look like a dick.

Now extend this to other aspects of human relations and you have my take. It's not "defending a person's honor" to point out that accusations aren't evidence and that it's always a good idea to hold your fire until the person is investigated (and they will be). The whole "once a person has sinned they're subhuman garbage who has no right to anything" worldview is a right-wing one.

This is what I'm gonna have to disagree with. Why put out any sort of sympathy for a person who has been physically assaulting multiple people on camera? Invading people's homes? This person is hurting people, and while I'm not going to say they are sexually assaulting a minor (though seemingly kidnapping them from their parents would for a non famous person lead you to think the latter is occurring), they should be loving separated from them post haste. gently caress Ezra seriously.

A quick tldr on that: The parents of 18-year old Tokata Iron Eyes (a badass name) are accusing Ezra of grooming Tokata from the age of 12, but Tokata (who identifies as non-binary) said on their instagram that their parents are transphobic, are trying to put them in a conservatorship against their will a la Britney and that they experienced abuse at home hence why they left.

Their mom then responded by making a tweet saying actually, Ezra is in control of the account and that Tokata has no access to a phone, but if Tokata thinks their parents are toxic abusive a-holes it makes sense they wouldn't tell them what their phone number is

Obviously the accusations of grooming are serious, but it isn't exactly a stretch to see how this might just be a case of a queer person supporting another young queer who's from an abusive household with parents trying to control them,

Basically, don't jump to conclusions on this one

I like that you left out that the parents found bruises on Tokata and took them into detox because it doesn't fit your narrative. And that Ezra was giving them LSD. and Tokata didn't have anything like a license, car keys, or bank card.

But sure, let's wait and see because Ezra Miller certainly hasn't done anything wrong before.

Ezra is non-binary, please refer to them as a person and use they/them

Historically, like most cultures before 1988, the Lakota did not have a non-binary gender. They did and do have the concept of a "winkte", which traditionally meant a feminine man but has generally been broadened in the past few decades to apply to most gender non-conforming people. The obscurantist way people are talking about this incident - wherein a white man (with a documented pattern of abuse) allegedly abused a Lakota woman - replicates the colonial violence and cultural erasure (genocide) to which the Lakota were historically subjected.

Ah yes my "narrative" of "hey, maybe don't make assumptions when there is a supposed account from the alleged victim calling bullshit, let's wait and see how it shakes out".

Guess you're right, Codependent Poster, let's just listen to the parents and put Tokata in a conservatorship against her will right away, that will obviously be the best thing for her.

The father for the record.

It is when you are talking about a relationship that has been going on since one of them was *12*. An adult being a 'hang out' friend with a 12 year old is uncomfortable even before you add in 'hollywood actor with record of violence'- to the mix.

Speaking as someone who lived through such behavior I find it terribly familiar sounding and that is why I think it is a serious issue.

That's fair. My concern is that Tokatas voice gets lost in the media circus and assumptions being made. Like I said before, grooming/abuse victims defending their abuser is not uncommon, and this needs to be investigated, but I'm also concerned this might be a case of parents finding new ways to abuse their child since they're out of reach. Neither of the alternatives are mutually exclusive, but with conflicting accounts I don't think it's a radical position to not make assumptions, especially not considering how media can distort things in the name of ratings

Hmm yes. Summarize the article but leave out the parts that put Miller in a bad light and then immediately go to the extreme about taking all of Tokata's rights away. No bias in your recap of that story at all.

And let's not make that huge leap that Ezra Miller, who has assaulted at least 3 people, hasn't assaulted Tokata when they said they found bruises.

Better defend that person who took a 17 year old to London and furnished them with LSD, and who paid for their college, and started this relationship when Tokata was 12. That's all super normal behavior and not at all like grooming and brainwashing.

But no, McCloud, you better immediately jump to saying that it might be their parents are terrible people.

How about the fact the court has granted the parents a protective order, but nobody can locate Miller to serve it?

I'm going to "that extreme" because that is literally what is at stake here you illiterate buffoon.

Not only are you taking the parents allegations as facts, you're also outright making poo poo up about the case. The court hasn't granted any protective order, the parents have filed for it, and the hearing on wether or not to grant it is set for next month, which you would know if you knew how to read.

Never mind that Tokata posted a video of themselves talking about how distressing it is to not be believed (you know, like you're doing right now )

It's funny how you're talking about narratives and then immediately make poo poo up to make a narrative.

And gently caress off with your condescending attitude, you rear end in a top hat. You're defending a person who was 24 when they started to hang out with a 12 year old.

You know what brainwashing and gaslighting does to a person, right? That the person will say they're all right?

But sure, go ahead and believe someone who was groomed since loving 12 years old that this relationship is fine and normal and that Ezra Miller, habitual assaulter of people, is innocent.

Go gently caress yourself.

Wah wah, the condescending baby doesn't like being condescended to. Maybe next time try to not come off as an rear end in a top hat.

Also I literally said on this very page, in the loving post right above yours, that they might still be a victim of abuse and an investigation is still needed. For those with reading comprehension, this is not a defense of Ezra nor a claim of his innocence, but again you display an absolute astonishing inability to either read or comprehend written statements, because unlike you, I'm actually concerned about the alleged victims wellbeing, while you seem more interested in knocking down strawmen.

I read that initially as "Jason Schreier," the video game journalist, and was both confused and intrigued.

Though looking Jake Schrier up, he directed both the really excellent Robot & Frank (can't recommend that movie enough) and a few episodes of Brand New Cherry Flavor, so definitely a fan of his. Though I'm sure none of that will come through in a Marvel movie.

Kinda sorta in that they're a superhero team of villains. They were originally a team of legitimate bad guys posing as superheroes, but they've changed over time. Different iterations have had different takes on them with many of them slowly becoming legitimate heroes and at one point being more like Task Force X as a government sponsored team of baddies.

I think the original premise was pretty different than Suicide Squad.
