    Right, how else do you think he earned that goodwill?  In addition to owning the biggest studio in Hollywood, that is what he was known for.  He donated a lot of money to those causes he campaigned for and politicians.   

     

    People can say "liberal ideologies" without it being a criticism or a hit piece.  **** man, lighten up.

     

    He didn't earn any goodwill.  Weinstein maintained his position via ham-fisted coercion and wealth-splashing.  He was and is a massive asshole and folks are coming out of the woodwork to pile on and destroy his legacy.  He has literally nothing in common with George Takei...unless you have an axe to grind.

    I'm actually really not.  Leave it to you to bring liberalism into this, didn't see that one coming.  :deadhorse:

     

    I mean, Dustin Hoffman isn't receiving the same scrutiny, either.   I guess that makes me hate liberals or something.  

     

    Dude, you brought up Weinstein's "liberal ideologies".  Try to stay focused...

    You bring up a good point about favoritism and goodwill.  

     

    But everyone jumped all over Kevin Spacey when the first accuser came out (well before any other accusers, before any patterns showed up).  Kevin Spacey was a beloved figure in this country and had earned goodwill.  A little known actor with a similar accusation towards Spacey makes a similar accusation that came out against Takei and it gets widespread coverage.  Maybe because the guy was 14 at the time, making the claims more lecherous and salacious?  Maybe because Spacey's apology was bull****?   

     

    Weinstein, with his liberal ideologies and hefty donation history, arguably had a lot of goodwill, too.  However, there's a pattern there, multiple offenses.  Same with Ratner, same with Moore.  If there's a pattern with Takei, what then?

     

    But you bring up a point about favoritism and goodwill.  Now Richard Dreyfuss is refuting claims that he exposed himself to someone and he denies it.  Uncorroborated between two adults in a trailer 30+ years ago, right? 

     

    Youre trying to make a stealth point about liberalism or something...but it's not really working because you're answering all the questions you're asking.  It's blatantly obvious why Takei isn't receiving the same scrutiny as Weinstein.  And then you go into a gallop of whataboutism.

     

    Ill leave you to twa on this...

    It's interesting that there hasn't been any damning coverage of this.  Maybe because these stories are coming out faster than anyone can keep up but it's interesting as to who's getting a lot of attention and who isn't.  

     

    Because an isolated, uncorroborated incident between two adults at a Hollywood party 36 years ago doesn't carry much weight compared to allegations that are corroborated and show a pattern of abuse?  See Louis CK.

     

    Also, George Takei is a beloved figure in this country and has earned his goodwill.  Something Weinstein, Ratner, Moore, etc surely have not earned.

    Well you have more restraint than the vast majority of the population, I believe.  Can you admit that you are more than likely in the small minority of you actually can have this self control?

     

    In my nearly 48 years on the planet, I have never once witnessed a woman slap a man in the face for groping her.  I've seen them raise hell and get away 100% of the time.

     

    Life isn't a movie, Buzz.
