Basebf555 posted:That's one thing that older people need to really absorb and understand about how the culture has changed. Older man being "handsy" and touching legs or other even more inappropriate places during photos or hugs was considered normal operating procedure for a long time but finally we're saying you need to cut that poo poo out. I'm sure Lasseter didn't think of himself as guilty of sexual assault but guess what buddy, you were. Younger guys I hope already understand this. I am pretty sure he knew exactly what he was doing. This isn't poo poo that was unknown 30 years ago.

Basebf555 posted:He knew what he was doing but I doubt it ever crossed his mind that it would ever be a problem, because up to now our culture as more or less accepted it. Trump was 100% right, if you have enough money and power you could grope anyone you wanted to and there would never be any consequences. Now there are consequences, and if knowing that prevents some creeps from acting out their gross fantasies then so be it. Would be better if they chose self-awareness, positive change, and personal growth, but that's probably asking too much from old rich white men. Oh, I misunderstood you, I thought you were saying "He didn't realize he was doing anything wrong." We're on the same page.

Timeless Appeal posted:I think your statement that women would be sexually abusing, harassing, and humiliating others just as equally if given the same position of power rings pretty false. Women are people. They are not not magical pure beings of fairy and light who never do anything bad. People in positions of power, regardless of gender, will exploit that in a variety of ways. That doesn't change the systemic abuse faced by women nor does it deny that women are at a massive disadvantage due to social bullshit in the workplace, but it's pretty hosed up to pretend like there's some purity bullshit going on here. The reason we don't see more of it is because there are relatively few women in position of power and they do not enjoy the same protection that male abusers do which makes it harder for the same foul "oh well just keep your legs crossed when he comes by" sort of attitude to form. Treating women like they are not people and can't actually do things wrong is pretty hosed up and dismissive of the victims (which are certainly not exclusively male) of women who abuse others. This is even discounting the fact that abuse by women tends not to be viewed the same way and is often discounted or (shamefully) lauded as a good thing. I doubt there isn't a single one of us here who doesn't know someone who was touched inappropriately by a woman at a party or bar or something and whose friend's response to it was a shrug or a compliment.

Corrosion posted:He’s not doing that to be in character. Being “in character” is playing the phrase “being the villain” to the hilt because it is a phrase used to deflect criticism of a person’s behavior. Yeah, that's a fair point, I phrased that badly. It's just... depressing and bewildering.

Corrosion posted:My girlfriend brought up him being a very talented actor even as she rebuked this PR stunt, and even the well-meaning are just suckered into this farce he’s hiding behind. I’m sorry I came off harshly on you. I used to associate with people who would use the phrase “being the villain” to defend people who openly used all variety of slurs or horrible behavior. The acceptance of delusionally seeing what we’re doing as being part of some extension of artistic license or art is literally what Kevin invokes. Yeah, that's completely understandable. I appreciate you explaining it because I didn't think about how what I said came off. I don't blame you for feeling heated about this particular video either because it's really gross and at least to some degree works on people.

It is worth noting that he admits to at least some of it but frames it as "we were just having a good time," which is something we've heard a whole lot from harassers and victims. (That said her sex-worker-shaming is pretty crappy and has nothing to do with the other allegations.)

got any sevens posted:Why doesnt he just do pure porn ffs I assume, based off the other statements about him, because part of the appeal to him is having power to force people to do what he wants when they don't want to. The fact it was sexual was probably secondary to him over the fact it gave him power.

There are tons of actors who act that way, including Marvel/Disney actors. Harrison Ford is famous for not giving a poo poo in promoting his films.

MrMojok posted:Max showed up on the pointlesswasteoftime.com forums sometime around 2002, 2003 I guess, and had this bizarre whiny/persecuted/edgelord thing going on. We all thought it was teenage angst and he'd grow out of it but when I look at his interviews and read his tweets today, he's exactly the same person. Just with money and some kind of standing (?!) in the industry. Considering the kind of people who ran PWOT I'm not too surprised he'd think he'd be welcome there.

Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's a sex pest. Says life just doesn't give him enough. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where he no longer can harass women without consequences. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great singer Plácido is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor...I am Plácido.

DC Murderverse posted:yeah, the proximity to GamerGate means that more GG assholes are gonna go in and take their shots. Luckily the mods in games have been fairly quick about giving those guys probations. They've probably had more people get punished for defending abusers in like, a week than this thread has had since it started like 6 months ago This forum in general has always been pretty strict about that, at least as long as I've been browsing. It's completely not welcome to even ironic "I would totally gently caress (x)" jokes which helps a *lot* since on other forums about movies that seems to be the primary starting place for weirdos to start talking about the SJWing of Marvel or whatever.

Bust Rodd posted:It makes sense for a comedian because if you wrote an hour of material and it takes you 6 months to workshop it to get it ready to record and some brojob posts the whole thing on YouTube then you’ve basically lost a year of work for no value.

Dave Chappell stands to lose a lot more money to a pirate than Nate Bergatze Dave Chapelle literally had a TV show and multiple stand-up specials. If a YouTube of his jokes loses him millions of dollars then why is he making his jokes publicly available. We are not in the era where 'joke thieves' are a concern anymore.
