Crazy how Spacey’s career abruptly ended, even though he was acquitted and/or found not guilty. Yet Trump, who has lost his civil sexual assault cases, is the fucking president of the United States and no one will do anything about it.

You forgot about being a 34x convicted but not sentenced criminal.

[-] [email protected] 27 points 3 days ago

He was sentenced, it's just that his sentence was ... nothing. Which of course is a totally appropriate penalty for a fucking felony.

Spacey would still be making movies now if he’d just preyed on vulnerable women instead.

Dustin Hoffman, Ben Affleck, Morgan Freeman, Ryan Seacrest all have multiple SA allegations that they were able to play down and keep working, but those were all from women.

Most homophobia stems from the fear of male rape, so the usual meninist/MRA crowd who scrambled to defend “innocent until proven guilty” for Russell Brand (3 upcoming producer credits) are nowhere to be seen when it’s Spacey.

(for clarity, this is not a defense of Spacey, it’s an attack on hypocrisy)

Jesus Christ is that a real quote? It's accurate AF. Like, uncomfortably accurate.

How can you mention these people and forget Jared Leto? He's an actual cult leader.

I think if your whole brand is being a creepy weirdo, that sort of makes you immune to the consequences of being identified as one.

Shane Gillis jokes about the only thing worse than Vikings are, gay Vikings.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago

That dude can suck the shit directly from my asshole.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Hahahahahahahaha gay Vikings he said!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

It’s a joke about the hypocrisy of it. Not hating on someone being gay.

Much like how society gives celebrity abusers of women a free pass. How spacey has been cancelled (rightfully so), but Trump is president.

The joke points that out. But sure, take it literally.

[-] [email protected] 80 points 3 days ago

yes, it is revealing how flexible the conservative soul is when it comes to corruption and perversion, while simultaneously being inflexible about things like compassion, charity and kindness.

The only true thing Trump has ever uttered was that he could shoot someone on 5th Ave and not lose support.

[-] [email protected] 41 points 3 days ago

That is so not true. He also said "I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait."

[-] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago

Fair enough! Two true things.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago

You know what though? I bet he was lying. I bet he doesn't just start kissing them. I bet he does wait. That's totally what TACO would do.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

probably the severity, and the amount of people he targeted, plus anthony rapps "confession" about him being targeted by spacey. Also movies/shows dont want to be associated with a known pedophile too, so they wouldnt cast him anything anyways.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

Why though? Why is it assumed that people will boycott a show/movie if it has a known paedophile in it, while brands/political parties with a mass-sex-offender at the helm are just peachy?

[-] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

He didn't do it? Oh good, I liked him in K-PAX

[-] [email protected] 28 points 3 days ago

Not guilty isn't the same thing as "didnt do it"

From Wikipedia:

Fifteen others then came forward alleging similar abuse,[10] including Boston anchorwoman Heather Unruh, who alleged that Spacey sexually assaulted her son;[11][12] filmmaker Tony Montana; actor Roberto Cavazos;[13] Richard Dreyfuss' son Harry;[14] and eight people who worked on House of Cards.[15] The Guardian was contacted by "a number of people" who alleged that Spacey "groped and behaved in an inappropriate way with young men" as artistic director of The Old Vic theatre.


A judge in Los Angeles this summer approved an arbitrator's decision to order Spacey to pay $30.9 million to the makers of "House of Cards" for violating his contract by sexually harassing crew members.

Yeah he's still a creep/sex pest, just not a child abuser. As far as we know.

Worth noting Spacey is currently on Epstein flight logs that have been released

[-] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago

Epstein's private plane took President Bill Clinton, actor Kevin Spacey, and comedian Chris Tucker to Africa

That's really fucking funny, if true. (black humor, dead baby funny)

You got a sauce on this?

fucking president of the United States

My pet theory here is that the RNC likes having a populist for election purposes and someone who is culpable that can be ejected if needed. In this case, culpability has to fall outside range of a self-pardon or any presidential immunity. I think the civil cases qualify for that, but I'm not sure.
