Holy shit.
The Jason Momoa comment was a bad joke (not the same level as groping someone) from 2011 back when he starred in Game of Thrones, not the DCEU
But sure, the DCEU is what we should focus on here, instead of misogyny eh
No one actually thinks the DCEU is the cause of anything here.
We're also aware Momoa was joking. But the joke was in extremely poor taste, and doesn't help tear down rape culture. Both things can be true.
Fake?
Forgot about this. The kiss of death.
And now it's brought up years later, possibly out of context and compared to actual assault because the internet is on a rampage.
Let's frame this as it actually is.

There are comments on that subreddit saying.
"Assault? Really? How is a quick grab amount to assaulting? What he did was dumb but it's not an assault."
And other shit like that. I'm speechless tbh.
Well damn.
I finally feel justified in my heretofore (mostly) irrational deep loathing of everything Affleck.
Holy shit, at first I thought this was a new tweet. Would have surprised no one.
I don't disagree. I just find comments like "The DCEU is a mistake blah blah" to be really trite and honestly annoying.No one actually thinks the DCEU is the cause of anything here.

Damn. Thanks good guy Snake.
I noticed that too. Even the large, burly men feel threatened enough to not name names.It's pretty telling that even now, in the heat of all this going down, these stars don't want to name names. The system is fucked up
Nice
The context explains what he means. He says he totally doesn't fault/judge people who do use their sex appeal to get ahead if that's what they really want, so to me this implies he might have been tempted to do that, but since he's not gay, it couldn't ever happen.The "I'm just not gay", as if being gay would have justified that abuse of power, is a little weird.

At least, I think that's what he meant... Not that "if the abuser had been attractive to these women it wouldn't be so bad". Or I hope so, anyway...

It's such a horrific situation to be in, but clearly it's so common. On that note the rumours, and dubious photographs, surrounding Bryan Singer are bound to catch up to him sometime soon - I wonder if Hayter has any insight regarding that.
If only for this one time, people could take into consideration the huge wall of text and not focus on something there's a chance they can find questionable. People, give me this one time atleast. He shared his own experience and showed support to victims of harassment and abuse. And yet...At least, I think that's what he meant...

Kind of surprised for the props to Hayter's post. In addition to the "I'm just not gay" thing, I didn't care for the "Now I'm a huge dude with a black belt and have fought off similar assaults before" comments. Just seemed tone deaf.
Try reading the whole thing, maybe?Kind of surprised for the props to Hayter's post. In addition to the "I'm just not gay" thing, I didn't care for the "Now I'm a huge dude with a black belt and have fought off similar assaults before" comments. Just seemed tone deaf.
If you really, really stretch to force it into something almost maybe sort of off the mark ever so slightly.
Or you could read the whole thing and realize everything hes saying and expressing is 100% fine.
Try reading the whole thing, maybe?
I did. Didn't change my opinion of those sections in the slightest.
Your reading comprehension level is the worst that I have ever seen.The "I'm just not gay", as if being gay would have justified that abuse of power, is a little weird.
I don't understand. The guy was making advances and he said no because he wasn't interested. He said a big difference between his experience and those of many women coming forward was that he was not smaller than the other person and wasn't scared for his well being.
It 's the way he does it- the details (6'1, martial artist, prone to violence in these situations) is irrelevant and just comes off as bragging. That IMO takes away part of the power of earlier part of the story. His story has more power IMO if he doesn't go out of his way to talk about how much of a physical badass that he used to be.

Right.I think you're interpreting all of that completely wrong. He's explaining why he doesn't feel his experience is necessarily equivalent given the fact he wasn't afraid for his safety.
Can't you really find anyone else regarding this Hollywood debacle you could look down to and judge? Like people sexually harassing and abusing others? Shows what you care about, not about the victims for sure. It's frankly disgusting and you should be ashamed. This isn't for your entertainment.It 's the way he does it- the level of detail(6'1, martial artist, prone to violence in these situations) is irrelevant and just comes off as bragging.

Sure. But I just find it bit pervasive to start picking apart messages that show support. And also share a story of unwanted advances. Like we have enough bad guys in this and more will hopefully be exposed in the future and people get what they deserve. It's tasteless to me to start bickering about this. I find it to be tone-deaf in itself.Right.
I mean, I'm OK with holding people accountable, if they have good intentions but fuck up their wording or come across as tone-deaf, they are not exempt from criticism. But right now we need all the allies we can get and there was nothing really objectionable in his post.
I think youre interpreting all of that completely wrong. Hes explaining why he doesnt feel his experience is necessarily equivalent given the fact he wasnt afraid for his safety.
