but if someone done you wrong you have a duty to stick up for yourself in a timely manner


No, you don't.

Your perspective brah. Your argument is wait until the distant future. Makes little sense.


And no, my argument is everyone processes events, and especially trauma, differently. No one is obligated or has a "duty" to immediately defend or seek out retribution.

Sure you don't have to tell. That's people's prerogative. And when I say duty, I mean a duty and an obligation to yourself, to stand up for yourself.

Just calm down for a moment. He hasn't legitimately admitted anything, despite so many people taking his general blanket apology as a admition of guilt. Give it time and we'll see how it all plays out.


Thus why I am like... Is this an old man being a dirty old man? He apologized for making women uncomfortable and acting inappropriately. That is far different from rape. Sounds like he might have been perhaps making lewd comments and inviting women back to his dressing room. Inappropriate, not criminal.

No one is accusing him of rape.

I love how this board is so misogynistic, that it will say it's a victims fault for not coming forward, in a society where no one believes them anyway, cause they're accusing a powerful man.

Stay fucking classy CE

Don't ever become famous if you are a man is the moral of this story.


Or just, you know, don't sexually harass anyone.

Like George Takei and Aziz Ansari


Except they were both quickly 'cleared' because they didn't sexually harass anyone.


But really, what the hell do we know? We don't know jack shit about whether or not they did or didn't sexually harass or assault anyone, just as much as we don't know jack shit about whether a lot of other celebrities did anything they supposedly did. We just read shit in the press. It's like a big game of telephone.


George Takei's accuser came out and apologized for lying. Aziz Ansari's accuser's story from the get go was just a story of mild regret from her own words.

PS: Why isn't anyone impeaching the President for all his sexual harassment? If we're so concerned about this issue, then Trump is fair game too. Yet he holds the highest position in the land. Double standard?


Well that's just a stupid comment and completely ignorant to reality

"Reality" being that Republicans hold Congress and won't stand up to Trump.

So how do we know they just didn't do a shittier job of formulating their stories?


You're right, admitting to lying is a weird way of formulating a story lol

You should probably stop caring and stop pretending celebrities are good people. What they do outside of their profession, with the exception of like...two things, doesn't affect me and I don't care.

I kind of want to believe he didn't mean any harm and was unaware of doing so. But I don't know what that would mean if anything to social justice.
