A pair of millionaire rapist who now find themselves out of a job because of decades of remorseless predatory behavior are not the victims here. He's putting more importance on the emotional well being of the rapists instead of the loving victims.

I would be fine considering forgiving them if they, y'know, actually went to jail and had to serve their time. Also I don't think it's too much to ask that if you rape someone you don't get to be a rich powerful celebrity anymore. Like I think that's the least we can agree on.

He's putting more importance on the emotional well being of the rapists instead of the loving victims. he was specifically asked "is there a way back for them, Bryan?" by the BBC interviewer. This was after he gave a couple of answers to questions where he said really obvious things like "it's a good thing that this is being exposed because it forces all of us to look at our past behavior and say 'hm maybe that was inappropriate'". Like I don't think "maybe after years or decades of looking back on what they did wrong and repenting and asking for forgiveness and fixing the problems wrong with them that the movie industry could take another look at them" is a super hot take. I think the comments he made about Trump were dumb as gently caress, but this is like, whatever. It's not a case of some white guy who doesn't get it, or like a Paul Schrader "well but you should look at the work they do/did" thing, it's literally the ideal basis of how our criminal justice system should work, but applied to guys who may or may not actually make it to jail because they're rich and white, but will still probably be societal pariahs (deservedly so) for a very long time. edit: like, i don't think it's going to happen because clearly Harvey Weinstein is going to die thinking he didn't do anything wrong because that's the type of person he is. but if someone actually accepts what they did wrong, does time both literally or metaphorically, and asks for forgiveness, I'm not gonna say "gently caress you" forever. The problem comes when you have guys like Weinstein or Allen or Polanski who don't really reckon with what they actually did, or brush it off.

I think it's time for a splendid auto da fe. With 4k broadcast you'll be able to really see the bloody flesh glisten and hear the crunch of bones and snap of sinew as Weinstein et al are ground to pieces on Hollywood Boulevard. Honestly, it'd be a great advertising opportunity, maybe it could be an annual thing.

When your victims number well into the double digits I'd take a wild guess and say that there's a distinct lack of remorse going on here. I'm all about a criminal justice system based on rehabilitation, but there are some people who are clearly beyond redemption. We're not talking about someone who robbed a liquor store to feed his family.

If you don't allow room for forgiveness, you only drive someone further into the pits of evil. There are people out there who are sitting in jail who have done awful, heinous things, who over the course of decades sitting in prison have gained a perspective on their actions that should allow for forgiveness and could probably be allowed back into society with no harm (or even some positive benefit!). I think the same opportunity should be give to any of these men if they want to actually reckon with what they've done and accept punishment for it. Saying that also doesn't mean that I don't think Hollywood needs to drastically change how it works, and that society as a whole needs to be able to deal with victims and help them to recover and not shun them or drive them away. We can say that, and make sure that any and all victims who come out have their stories heard and respond to them with the proper amount of action, but still not slam the door shut and say "gently caress you forever," even if the severity of their actions makes that sound like a reasonable idea. edit: to be clear, Harvey Weinstein should almost certainly be locked up for a long time even based off of only what we've heard publicly (I'm sure for every woman who has come out and said he did something to them there is at least one other who is still silent).

Even with me being a grumpy post-divorce 34-year-old, I just enjoyed the heck out of seven hours of Magic Kingdom Christmas. I go in with this edge, "meh, capitalism" attitude and drat if I didn't have fun. Even better that I got to go on pretty much every ride. (Also, it owns that they still have Oswald merch)

This all seems very academic considering he immediately fled the country when the heat got turned up. Anyway yeah I'm pretty comfortable saying "gently caress you forever" to a rich & powerful dude who raped and intimidated a bunch of people over a period of like thirty years. I ain't gotta forgive poo poo.

My wife and I were just debating whether Harvey would be prosecuted or even serve time. I say yes: so many accusers and yes so high-profile that an ambitious prosecutor will gun for him. She says no: too easy to defend sexual assault and rape charges, throw doubt in victim testimony, etc. I get her general point but don't think it'll apply here. Travel by train is so much more civilised than plane. In London on the Underground its mandated that one side of the escalator is for standing and one is for walking. Locals get annoyed every now and again with stupid tourists who don't realise that everyone is standing on the right while they gormlessly stand on the left, until an angry commuter loudly says "Excuse me!" and glares at them. https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/2418384/the-most-annoying-things-tourists-do-on-the-london-underground-and-walking-too-slowly-is-up-there/ quote:Standing on the wrong side of the escalator Lastly, bags with wheels are a great invention.

Yeah it's basically an unspoken agreement in Vancouver that the right hand side of the escalator is for standing, the left for walking. The only time it ever really fucks up is when there's super heavy foot traffic on or off the Skytrain at the busier stations. Airport's never been too bad, when I've flown during holiday rush.

On public transport here it's not even unspoken, it's explicit. And then people get well trained to do the same elsewhere. Aces! They experimented with standing-only escalators at one station on the basis that they are more efficient and people mutinied.

The escalator discussion unironically fascinates me, because it highlights how easy it is to get trapped in your own cultural bubble. Until now, I always thought "stand on the right, walk on the left" was an universal doctrine, but apparently that varies by country.

Alfred P. Pseudonym posted:Five minutes into Ground Zeroes and what the gently caress why is Big Boss voices by Kiefer Sutherland now this is bullshit I don't mind Kiefer's take, but they seriously should have saved the voice change for Phantom Pain. Even if Hayter is kind of ridiculous it's not like GZ is that long or he even talks that much in it so it just doesn't seem worth the discontinuity. And of course it would have made perfect (Kojima) sense given the twist. Even better if they got Hayter to voice that last tape.
