Kevin Spacey apologizes after allegations of sexual misconduct

[Shinra1]

you are 1 of 2 people in this case: you support pedos, or you abhor pedos. myself? i work with kids, anyone who is a pedo should be in jail/suffer the death penalty.

I don't know how you go to sleep at night it must feel like you've got the whole weight of the world on your shoulders. So many alleged pedos who aren't in jail or dead, will someone think of the children!

Stop being so self-righteous.

[Beazy]

Who said I was an SJW? If I was an SJW I'd be wishing certain death on him like Floopa, without even knowing the facts!

I'm not on Kevin's side. I'm on the side of the victim which is Rapp but that doesn't mean I condemn Kevin to death or wish him harm. As I mentioned on the previous pages of this thread: Kevin is a tortured soul whose father abused him so I can find it in my heart to forgive him for allegedly touching a 14 year old (a grown kid basically who knows right from wrong and had a job) inappropriately 30 years ago.

Humans are flawed. There's no one who is perfect.

Cool story, but the law doesn't care if a 14 year old has a job or not....... not sure where you came up with that moronic stupid shit from, but yeah, you did. /mindblown

Just stop. We can tell that protecting pedophiles is a SJW mission. You don't have to try and deny it anymore.

Why is everyone in Hollywood so creepy?

You mean criminal charges? It’s likely the statue of limitations has long since passed.

No, as in accepts his apology and does not pursue a smear campaign. Which could be just as damaging to his career as being held liable. Even if for some odd reason it did fall within the statue, how do you even try this kind of case? These kinds of assaults were fought on a personal and private level back then. No one ever thought about taking something like this public.

In no way do I support his actions back then, but Spacey is one of my favorite actors and I hope this was just an isolated case of being way too drunk.

Hopefully you are joking, because that is a fairly extreme position to take on something none of us can possibly have any certainty about.

FWIW, I would think a more rational frame of mind would suit someone that works with children better. Children are often pointedly irrational, so you have to be rational for them. If you are just as irrational as they are, what can you really offer?

[Venant]

I wonder how much of an open secret some of these things are, consider this was from 2005:

Seeing as you're such an expert on the law you're no doubt aware that being a pedo is not a crime and so your fixation on labelling him with the p word has no bearing on the legal proceedings. I'm sure you're also aware that one needs proof that a crime was committed.

[whywhatwhowhenhow]

I don't see the big deal to be honest. Yea the lad was 14, that's not good, but it seems like people are blowing this whole thing out of proportion. He was drunk and probably just messing about. It's not like he tied him down and raped him.

It was 32 years ago and as far as we know just a one off drunken incident. Now this Rapp guy wants to jump on the #metoo bandwagon. Probably just wants some money out of it.

[Slant]

For someone who wasn't even born then you seem pretty sure of yourself.

I wasn't born when I was 14? Your sentence doesn't make much sense. But hey, take any cheap shot you can, you're gonna need them.

it's not extreme at all. i think all pedophiles are a danger to children.

mostly because they are.

No one would describe that poster as rational if you used to read the ol' pala healing threads.

I doubt you ever really do.

Yeah no shit, why would me calling someone a pedo have something to do with the law? Da fuq is wrong with you? LoL why would you even retort with something so fucking stupid?

The crime was an adult trying to elicit sex from an underage child. . . . not me calling someone a pedo and making it magically come true. . . do you believe in magic or something? Are you into that weird shit? /facepalm

[Shinra1]

I doubt you ever really do.

Did my post hit a nerve? I have nothing against Law and Order: SVU but its widely exaggerated.

[Alvito]

Any work place with a large age gap mixture of employees gets odd quickly. Add in all the money and external pressure of that industry and it's fans and I am sure some unimaginable things happen.

Who gives a shit about some spin off TV show.

[Floopa]

i guess weebs support pedophilia

guess it makes sense cus anime is basically softcore pedo porn.

Why are older people drawn to the young, like below legal age? Aside from it being immoral, it be like going after unripened fruit in a supermarket, and saying you prefer it before it ripens.

I know some people have weird fetishes, but this ones always been a head scratcher, why would anyone want to sleep with something undeveloped, inexperienced, chance of being arrested and messing with said persons mental state.

The problem is that there is a legal age. Theres nothing immoral about wanting to procreate with the opposite sex no matter the age, of course the sex needs to be able to procreate. Why would someone want to sleep with somthing underdeveloped? Like in what way? Ever heard of a 13 year old haveing a child? Cuz i have. Inexperienced? Yea because everyones experienced when they start having sex right? Chance of being arrested, sure we have laws and people should abide by them while they are still in place. Messing with someones mental state? What do you think everyone lives in a bubble? Everything you do that effects other people effects their mental state. Why is a relationship between a 40 and 15 year old any different from a 15 and 10 year old? Both could be using the other for sexual favors, thats the whole point of learning from experience. Thats why we teach people so the weird shit that happens to them doesnt traumatize them. If a two 20 year olds are dating and the girl finds out that the guy is sleeping with other women dont you think that effects her mental state?

Hollywoodland...

People of wealth, fame, and power that have everything going for them often including extreme beauty and personal magnetism. One might think that people of such privilege could find it in themselves to therefore act better than the rest of us, but surprisingly they often behave far worse instead.

What explains it? Probably the simple fact that people rarely rise above their origins. They are just as petty, trivial and mean-spirited as everyone else but now they have the means to do something about it.

So they do, because they can.

[Machismo]

If I was raised in a society that treats a relationship between a 14 year old and an adult as normal, then the only thing that would be inappropriate about is that he is a teacher and she is his/her student. Kinda like workplace romance.

Plus, you are assuming that Kevin Spacey knew he was 14 at the time, and we have no proof that he knew that at the time.

Once again, that is more speculation. This happened in the United states, a society that stopped believing in relationships with adolescent boys some time ago.
