The Me Too Movement: The Sexual Harassment and Assault Thread

[Lily Adler]

I honestly never thought this was going to happen. We'll see what happens, but considering the Scientology connection, this feels like a pretty big breakthrough even at this point.

Does Scientology even have a big pull anymore?

 

[Lily Adler]

The word “knowingly” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

Guy code for I didn't bother to ask.

Does Scientology even have a big pull anymore?

The very fact that the whole thing hasn’t been dismantled shows that they have enough.

Looks like Ansel Elgort is in serious trouble.


If true, then that’s disappointing. I really liked him in Baby Driver. Baby Driver was already hard enough to re-watch already after the Spacey allegations, and now it may become even harder to do a rewatch after this fiasco.

If a girl is sobbing in pain and your first instinct isn't to stop, something is seriously, seriously wrong with you.

 

[Snow Queen]

That is a disturbing read.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Yeah, so when do I have to find out Jamie Foxx, Jon Hamm, Lily James and Eiza Gonzalez are all evil as well?

This is what Elgort told GQ years ago about what he thinks women like in men.



This has aged as badly as a Pre-president Trump tweet.

Spielberg is in a pickle now.

How old was Elgort in 2014?

 

[Schlosser85]

He’s 26 now, so 20.

 

[Donner]

I really wish Joe Rogan would just get cancelled already.

Always got bad vibes from this kid.

Cancelling Joe Rogan or someone you don’t agree with just gives them more power. They’ll have an even bigger voice. Unless it’s something illegal or something deplorable, just don’t give their opinions attention is the real power.

A $100 million Spotify deal is giving his opinion attention.

His views are dangerous and he's friends with ****ing rapists. The guy is a sociopath.

What I miss?

Joe step into something?

My POV is Joe is an example of how easy people can convince themselves that they have better critical thinking skills than they actually have or have put in work to develop. The narrative in their mind is shaped by the pop culture and for decades pop culture's messagge has been "Experts/smart people have their heads up their asses and can't see the truth."

And his "questioning" isn't having some mind open to new ideas. It's sloppy thinking divorced from real analysis and history.

I don't want him cancelled or taken off the air, but I won't ever shut up about how fools like him poisoned public political discourse with the dumbest analysis and most sophomoric and surface orientated point of view he and too many of his guests spout.

He's no where near as smart, clever or FUNNY as he or his fans think. Being dismissive of dumb****ery isn't elitist Joe... It's having a grasp of actual history and facts and applying some goddamned common sense.

If someone is a fan or takes him seriously... Yeah they go down a few notches in my estimation of them andcI don't think it's unfair.

If we had been more dismissive of some people's opinions, maybe we wouldn't be where we are right now.

 

[Prison Mike]

Did I miss something with Joe?

 

[Donner]

He's just trending on Twitter because he's had people on his show in the past who joked about sexually assaulting female comics to give them stage time.

Also for making fun of people who wear masks. Like a real man!

 

[Schlosser85]

Rogan is just a dudebro best left ignored.

 

[Detective Conan]

Ansel Elgort has responded to the allegations in an Instagram post.

 

[Schlosser85]

This is just a he said/she said with no evidence one way or another except that both sides acknowledge they had a brief relationship.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Rogan is just a dudebro best left ignored.

I first became aware of Rogan because of the UFC. I wish that was the only way I was aware of him still.

There was talk of Ansel Elgort being a bit of a smug scumbag rich kid for a while.

In case anyone was interested, there have been filings in the Vic Mignogna defamation case appeal. From the lawyer who gave the world ""Vic is a piece of ****" is defamatory, because Vic is not feces".



I recommend sticking to the third filing, as that is less about issues with the law, or law filing, and simply an issue of high school master of Word.

JRE podcast is actually pretty good when he has interesting guest on. Last weeks episode with Bill Burr was great. I mainly just like when he goes on about pot and aliens. His other views on stuff are pretty meh, but I only tune in depending on the guest.
