99.9% of the time I would agree with you.
But when it comes to literally fucking children, I don't care is you're drug out of your house and tortured in the street with a blow torch and some cat fish skinners. And that's the most honest statement I have ever typed in my life.
Slibel laws are a lot weaker in the US than in Britain. If the person is a public figure you can say almost anything about them. For them to sue you for slibel, you need to prove malice, if they made a mistake that's not good enough. Now if the person isn't a public figure, that's different, they can sue the crap out of you.
In the US the burden of proof is on the person being slibeled.
That's why Louis Theroux does his documentaries in the US, it's hard for anyone to sue him here.

people covered for weinstein for years looking the other way, you best believe theyve been covering for pedos and all other shitty people as well.
you tell people, they cover it up and make sure you never work again, unless you're lucky and enough people come forward or someone actually manages to find evidence.
there is no money to be made or career advancement in admitting you are a victim, even if you settle out of court and make some sort of payout the detriment to your career far outweighs anything you would get from it.
its shitty, but thats what people with money and power do, whatever the fuck they want.
the guy who made jeepers creepers raped a kid for like 6 years and when he got out of jail guess who made jeepers creepers 3. even after being exposed these people find work.

So basically you have no proof of the statement you just made about Quetzl being a "pedo"....but made it anyway because of some comments on a message board.
So basically you just proved what can happen with accusations that have no basis in proof snowballing into "fact" in your eyes.
grats on proving the point
Considering child actors like ELijah Wood have said this before, doesn't surprise me. Rat them out to collect evidence for prosecution.
Power does weird things to some people.

"Expose pedos"? I think the first step here is to use proper terminology. If you're talking about someone who's attracted to prepubescent children, but has never acted on it (actual pedophilia), then it's a witch hunt. If you're talking about people who've diddled children, then say, "expose child molesters". Not sure what the point of this creepy bastard's campaign is, though. He barely even mentioned "pedos and perverts". Most of it was whining.
Pretty much what I was going to say. Unfortunately, this labels us as "pedo sympathizers" rather than people just wanting justice for actual victims.
The problem with naming people with this sort of accusation is one that he could get sued into oblivion. Why he needs money for this and why he couldn't do it before.
The timing is great because he can get backing, but 10 million isn't likely to be enough. The accusations WILL destroy someone's career, so being sued is almost 100% guaranteed.
Weinstein was different because, minus the rape allegations, it was just a creepy dude asking for creepy things from adults(many who consented). So no lawyer would ever take the case against Weinstein. Because he didn't do anything illegal(unless rape can be proven true with evidence).
All this is going to be is a witch hunt. Mob justice.
I feel for the dude. I have a strong feeling he's being truthful and deserves justice. But he's waited too long to take action.
To all people.
Don't start "listening and believing". Evidence is important. Mob justice is BAD.
I think that's at the crux of the issue though. If he had actual verifiable proof, then he could have named names before. Thus without that proof, naming people puts the burden of proof on him, and if there isn't, he just looks like a crazy person. Further, it puts him into a massive defamation suite that he can't win and pretty much bankrupts him and likely kills him.
With funds, he can name names and get backing to put the spotlight on people and have some protection when they come after him. Hell, there's also been speculation that Chris Connell was going to come forward about accusations, and he died of an apparent suicide... Thus, if it's true, Feldman would actually be putting his life at risk.
He did drugs for two years, and hasn't done them in a long ass time. He also did them because of the shit he went through in Hollywood. Nice to see where your head is at though. (Your ass)

To the majority of the population it still is, but things have gone even further crazy with 60+ genders emerging over a span of 8 years, and Trans being legitimized instead of helped in a hospital. Because as proven with Jenner....even a man can be a better woman then a real woman, right?
That douche has been doing this for years.
Cory Feldman is a talentless loser who more than likely got touched a few times as a kid, but won't name anyone, because he is so desperate for a career comeback that he is more than willing to let other kids get touched by the same guys, because coming out with the truth might make it harder for him to rebound back into stardom.
