It was low hanging fruit. It’s like the cops rounding up a bunch of dope boys on a corner and pretending they made a major drug bust while never investigating who the major drug supplier and manufacturer in the neighborhood is.

It's a story about a public figure that was disclosed by the media. How should the public reaction go? How could it not be "fueled and tempered by media"? I don't understand what you're getting at. Who is being malicious and tactical?

What are you trying to say? What is the chess game? The media is covering up larger sexual abuse scandals and just exposing the smaller ones?

In the chess game of business, if that came out about the chairman of Lionsgate then every other media company would find it in their interest to savage Lionsgate and take its market share.

Or do you think that Hollywood is just one big company because of Jews?

You're babbling.

This is the endgame of all Jew conspiracies. Spewing meaningless babble and telling everyone to "open their eyes."

Somebody exposed Harvey Weinstien for manipulating women into sleeping with him. As the media runs these stories, they get dangerously close to an Operation Yewtree-style expose of sexual deviancy among rich and powerful hollywood executives, so the people who have both power in these media corporations and a history of sexual deviancy feed the media stories about Louis CK jerking off in front of women and other, similar stories. These stories get run, but they aren't about the institutional, protected deviancy among the rich and powerful, they're only random, isolated cases of deviancy. Or at the very least, they're cases where the perpetrator isn't powerful enough to destroy the whole ring.

I don't know, a lot of the stories I've read about it have been precisely about the institutional cover up or silence and the prevailing culture. I don't see it being reported as an entirely isolated incident at all. You seem to be taking it as fact that the problem has to be bigger than it is--that of course all these studio heads are behaving as Weinstein did, so there must be some elaborate plot to protect them. I just don't see the facts to back that up.

even if you don’t agree with him your just being stupid. He’s being very clear about what he means

He really wasn't being very clear, in my opinion.

Yep, he was just perverted and famous enough to be easy fodder for this whole thing. Also, you have to retarded to release a film with that subject matter with his past actions and this hysteria going on. Dumb fucking move.

Thanks, now i got The Fall Guy theme stuck in my head.

It’s not a kink to take all your clothes off and masturbate in front of a acquaintance woman after you just asked them if you could and they said no you retard.

It's entirely possible that there isn't some larger, more ominous culture of pedophilia and abuse in Hollywood, outside of the cases we've heard about and a handful of other ones yet to be disclosed.

Every industry has creeps and sexual abusers. In Hollywood the power dynamic is more pronounced, which allowed someone like Weinstein to operate that way for decades in ways that a high school administrator or restaurant manager couldn't.

But that doesn't confirm that there are "rings" of abusers doling out hush money to rube parents, or any sort of trafficking going on.

I don't understand why so many people want the darkest, most harmful fantasies about Hollywood to be true. The celebratory tone when one of these creeps is exposed is kind of gross, like people are cheering on widespread abuse because it conforms to their twisted fantasies about how evil the entertainment industry is.

Fuck you, I'm not sympathizing with anyone. I'm just suggesting that maybe your twisted fantasies of mass abuse are just that. Sorry I'm not cheering on widespread pedophilia like you are.

"Thomas Jefferson, writer of the Declaration of Independence, 3rd president of the United States, and founding father, broke his wrist trying to jump over a fence in Paris to impress a girl."

Okay.

It is a twisted fantasy you crypto-pedo. You saying you KNOW something is you saying you WANT something to be true. It's more of a faith than a knowledge. What do you KNOW? And why won't you expose it?

Yes, there have been sick fucks in British politics and media, just like there have been in Hollywood, but that doesn't mean there's some massive, over arching conspiracy to maintain that system.

No, the fact that you say you know something to be true, without evidence, plus your tone, suggest to me that you want it to be true.

Again, because you're dumb, I'm not saying that there are no pedos or abuse, just that it's not so widespread and organized that the entire media is playing some malicious chess game to preserve it.

You would be really helped by going outside sometimes.

Jew dinners where they plot the destruction of the culture.

There's big plans for you, buddy. Stay low.

You are quite a buffoon sir.

Philip "Dan Schneider" Marma

Good one.

Thanks

I would assume their is a good amount of pedophilia in any field where there are a bunch of unsupervised children. But I don't think it's close to what online conspiracy theorists are saying.

Exactly--youth sports, church youth groups, Boy Scouts etc. And when these stories break, it's in almost no one's interest to cover them up.

I don't think I've ever even heard of an industry or group attaining that much power without severely abusing it in some way. Hollywood is a statistical anomaly of decency now?

I know it's a joke to most, but the Catholic church is a perfect case-in-point. The red herring is that it has anything to do with religion or catholicism. No, it's the amount of power and influence they held. You can find a history baptist, muslim, buddhist, cultist pedophiles. You can find a history of them in political office especially in authoritarian regimes, whether right or left. and the history of sexual abuse without pedophilia is even more pronounced.

they're cheering on the destruction of a false moral center that has been spewing a self-righteous narrative while simultaneously exploiting the desperate and acting FAR more conservative when it comes to their own wealth and power than the people they try to criticize.

So no, I don't think everything is known about abuse in Hollywood or anywhere else for that matter. It's not that this stuff is solely found in Hollywood, it's just their turn. Other institutions have had theirs, and their defenders said much the same thing you just did.

You missed, then made my point. I wasn't saying that Hollywood is a statistical anomaly of decency now, just that it is blighted by scumbags like all industries.

The political points you make perhaps explain some of the fervor and disregard for fairness and reason though, and that's all I was trying to defend.

I made your point about there probably not being a culture specific to Hollywood that makes it an outlier it's true, but I'm refuting your point that there isn't more going on. Reason would make the presumption that much more is going on, especially in light of the last few years.

And I guess you could say I made political points, but I would say they're self-evident about the behavior in Hollywood and also inherent to the ways in which any power structure establishes and defends itself.

Sure, we can reasonably presume that there are others acting like Weinstein or Spacey. But we can't reasonably presume that there is an elaborate plot to cover this up coming from outside the industry, in part because of the revelations and response to Weinstein.

Honestly, I was not aware of talk of a cover up outside the industry. If you mean that a Weinstein doesn't have the means to bribe or pressure people that aren't in his industry, I would say that's wrong and I'd qualify his methods as a cover up originating inside his industry and bleeding over into others.

Would anyone else cover it up out of love of Weinstein or because they share the same politics or something? No, absolutely not. Things don't happen on that level out of love or camaraderie, in all honesty.

What you're describing is basically a "ring" of abusers. There's an extreme power dynamic in hollywood so weinstein is protected when he takes advantage of some young actress with stars in her eyes. It doesn't have to be anything formal with an evil name and a logo.

Also, people celebrate when this shit gets exposed because dangerous people are being brought to justice. Don't be disingenuous and claim that people are celebrating the abuse.

A "ring" implies some level of organization, not just passive condoning.

And I realize that most people are celebrating the justice, but many people take it a step further and seem to hope for more abuse to line up with their fantasies about evil Hollywood. For political and psychological reasons people are hoping for more abuse, which is pretty sickening.

I do a fair amount of publishing, and lots of times we'll write shit and just put it up on a shelf.

For instance, if I don't have any clients that week, my boss will have me write a document, send it to him, and then file it away.

The idea is that they want to keep me busy when business is slow, and sooner or later we'll sell the doc to a client.

I wonder if something similar happened to Louie. Basically they wrote a hit piece on him years ago, then shelved it until the time was right.

I could see some publicist calling up the New York times and asking them to send the wolves after Louis CK, rather than lose another big fish like Kevin Spacey. The movie studios have lost millions now that all of Spacey's projects have been halted.

Nothing suss at all.

Rich rapist acts like a douche. Okay, that stands to reason.

I take it the New Yorker and Ronan Farrow are not part of the shadowy elite? Or they are but they're just publishing this to throw us off the trail of the real big time rapists?

It'll be strongly linked to Harvey Weinstein in long run. That could go to court for rape in the us and UK too.

If he's trying to expose he could just say the names.

seems to me they're ramping it down and avoiding going after the people in power. I can't honestly accept that sexual predators are a fucking rarity in Hollywood, where the hottest and youngest people in America are, when sexual predators are fairly common in wider society where people have the slightest bit of power.

seems like Weinstein was only guilty of letting some of his power slip and wasn't able to keep all the balls in the air anymore. all the muckity-mucks in Hollyweird born into generational wealth and running studios are just keeping their noses clean, sure.

More sick fantasies from a crypto-pedo. Disgusting.

Thermite taints.

Cheers bruv

Just stay away from the Croydon boys, loose lips and all.

Weinstein and Kevin Spacey are low hanging fruit? Ok conspiracy guy

well we know Spacey was, not sold on Weinstein being gay tho

Let's all calm down and get back to the nigger jokes

It's frightening. They've even got a time machine to go back a few years to get the CK rumors going. Damn your black heart, Albert Einstein.

The best phrase i heard on the subject is "Louis CK is a pervert, not a predator". He wasn't being dangerous, he was just being lame and, honestly, pretty pathetic. But an A-list comedian being a sexual predator is what sells more newspapers, so there it is.

You want another example of knee-jerk reaction? Matt Damon's career was nearly ruined strictly because people assumed he knew about Weinstein. And then once it was revealed and confirmed that he didn't, nobody talked about it, because like I said, "A-lister is a scumbag!" makes for a more interesting headline then "we fucked up and wrongly accused an A-lister of protecting a rapist, which could've ruined his reputation". The media is disgusting.

My sense is that the media were sitting on this story for a long time. After Weinstein, they needed more fodder for the headline/click bait generating income. Louis CK's story was then dusted off and given a fresh headline and accompanying article...instant scandal ready to order.

Yep. They've been waiting for the right time.

Weinstein had Mossad agents and other private contractors intimidating the women he had harassed. This shit goes deep.

I completely agree with the first paragraph of this post. You're absolutely right.

He's no full jew.

Okay.

Sure, we can reasonably presume that there are others acting like Weinstein or Spacey. But we can't reasonably presume that there is an elaborate plot to cover this up coming from outside the industry, in part because of the revelations and response to Weinstein.
