weinstein wasn't protected only for class reasons, but because weinstein represents an ideal of arbitrary, destructive, autocratic rule over inferiors. to really punish weinstein would be to the indict the people who want to be him, do what he did, and see his only crime if any is getting caught

was danny masterson metoo or after

Biden turning out to be a confirmed rapist just shifted #metoo far enough to make his situation okay. So any claims by any victims can now be ignored depending on who they are accusing.

Masterson got got in 2017 because 4 women accused him during #metoo. This was when Trump was in office so this was considered a big deal and important and all victims should be believed but any prominent democrat would get a free pass for the same thing right now like Biden did when he raped Tara Reade.

nah i accept death as i purely did this degree out of spite. one of my best friends said his friend went to law school, moved far right and became a prosecutor, in part due to how stressful school was. i said i very much doubt law school is hard, and he's a pussy. my friend disagreed, and then i did this to prove myself right. i always stay winning, but nonetheless accept punishment.

It is an open secret among local Delaware bougie businesses that Biden would walk in, pick up luxury merchandise, promise to pay later, and never do it. People repeatedly fell for "the Vice President isn't really going to rip me off.... right???"

Ed Piskor, the indie comics guy famous for Hip Hop Family Tree, committed suicide after accusations (with evidence) earlier this month, but that's another big fish/small pond situation

And as always, the NYTimes with the passive voice head line and extra careful journalistic wording

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/09/arts/ed-piskor-dies-comics-hip-hop-family-tree.html

quote:

Comics Artist Dies After Sexual Misconduct Accusations
Ed Piskor, 41, was known for his detailed “Hip Hop Family Tree” and “X-Men: Grand Design.” A Pittsburgh gallery canceled an exhibition of his work after the initial allegation.

The comics artist Ed Piskor, who was best known for his multivolume “Hip Hop Family Tree,” died last week after posting a lengthy note to social media about an accusation of sexual misconduct that led a gallery in Pittsburgh to indefinitely postpone an exhibition of his work.

The death of Piskor, who lived in Munhall, Pa., was confirmed by a funeral home, but no cause was given. Many people read his note on social media — in which he repeatedly spoke of his death — as a suicide note.

Two of Piskor’s relatives declined to comment. The chief of the Munhall Police Department said Piskor died outside of Pennsylvania.

The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, a nonprofit arts group, announced last month that it would not open the five-month exhibition as planned after a woman accused Piskor of trying to “groom” her in 2020, when she was in high school, and posted screenshots from their online conversations.

Piskor, 41, apologized for the messages in his note and said he never should have communicated with the teenager. He also addressed separate allegations from another artist, saying that they had a consensual sexual relationship.

His agent, Bob Mecoy, said the artist had defined himself by his work and was devastated by what the future had held.

Piskor had the feeling “that no matter what the circumstances were, what the truth of the situation was, his career was over, and what he had to offer would be objectionable no matter what he did,” Mecoy said.

In Piskor’s note, he expressed dismay that his exhibition had been postponed, and he criticized what he called online lynch mobs, saying they had contributed to his death.

The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust said in a statement last month that it had taken the allegation against Piskor “very seriously” and that the exhibition, which was supposed to feature original illustrations from “Hip Hop Family Tree,” would not open as planned.

In a statement after his death, the trust said: “We are deeply saddened by this tragic news. Our thoughts are with Ed’s family and friends at this difficult time.”
