It wasn't rape. He is one of the most disgusting human beings and absolutely part of what is wrong with society right now, and I would love to see him burn, but it wasn't rape.
honest question: would it not be culturally, practically, theoretically, in all ways beneficial for us to just say it was rape, considering the very real mindrape hollywood has to force on anyone to get them to have sex with creatures like these?
"this demon roaming the earth is disgusting and deserves death, but his horned friends are right, he is innocent" just muddies the waters, IMO.
I think what this misses is the responsibility of the fame-chasing whores (of both sexes, although my understanding is that this particular pimp was only into women) for accepting the deal.
Exactly. This displaces scrutiny from the actual problem (Hollywood is, and always was, run by degenerates yet we teach our kids to tale lessons from them) to a convinient scapegoat.
so these women were taught to take lessons from the men who later taught them they had to suck dick to get ahead, and this is purely their fault (read: our fault)?
if someone attacks me or my people i don't really care who believed in what and when, i just want to kill the attacker before he can do harm. why is it so hard for people on this forum to think like this without kvetching about how actually the attackers were right to take advantage of some dumb whores (read: our kindred women)?
The real issue is that guys like Weinstein ensure that rather than getting the best actresses, we instead get the actresses who were willing to be used as holes for roles, while the actresses with self-respect and integrity forgo fame and the big bucks in favor of starring in obscure indie films.
Since Weinstein was the gatekeeper, he should be considered primarily responsible, but I don't think of talentless actresses getting multimillion dollar roles that they clearly don't deserve as victims. Had Hollywood been run by men with integrity, no one would know these womens' names.
And if any women could be considered "victims" of this process, it would be the talented women who deserve the big roles but had too much integrity to prostitute themselves for it.
