@defaultjane said: I was so disappointed when I read that because I really liked his work and thought he made clever observations (at least based on the specials I’ve seen); granted some of the jokes in his acts were a bit “…dude, wtf..?” even for me. Still, I didn’t see this coming.
Yeah - I wasn’t expecting it either, but I guess that’s how he was able to keep doing what he was doing for so long.
@pathfinderwrench said: Hollyyyy shit. I knew he was a fucking pig for some of his humor but this is just…. Wtf
YEP. I don’t understand how a person thinks that doing stuff like this is “ok”, famous or not.
@sanguinespire said: There was a special awhile back where he seemed super depressed and some of his humor was really off, like cringy. This isn’t really at all that surprising. Pretty disappointing though.
For sure. I think that’s hitting the nail on the head. It’s disappointing. I want to see the best in people (even if their humor isn’t always my thing) and when stuff like this comes to light it’s a huge disappointment (on top of all the other stuff too).
@niiix said: It’s insane! Apparently Hollywood is just a cesspool. They’re all complicit at this point. Also I’m glad I wasn’t born with a penis, because I think it’s one of the rules that you have to have it out 24/7? At least this is what I’ve gathered the past month.
Yeah, the Weinstein story broke and I don’t think we’ll see the end of other reports like this anytime soon, which is a good thing. Hollywood needs a house cleaning and BAD. idk if you saw the Colbert interview with Ronan Farrow, but he’s on a mission to out a lot of these people and their behavior.
Also yeah, apparently if you’re a dude you gotta be waving your dick around even though no one wants to see tthat
@someone-do-myhomework said: That’s awful and disgusting! What’s worse is that he knew he needed help! He should have gone to counselling, instead of forcing these women into voyeurism!
Exactly! Consent is KEY. Knowing you need help and getting it is KEY. I could go on...
