To add to that you guys are pretending that Cosby wasn't a meme in 2011 (for very unrelated reasons). This isn't news in the slightest. Lets get back to the specific cases of harassment and find retribution for the people who have been wronged please.
    if you don't see how this reflects on the culture that gave them the name Cosby suites, you're clueless

    https://trends.google.com/trends/exp...q=cosby%20rape cosby wasnt really a common well known thing when this took place. it did not blow up until 2014 for nearly everyone. sure some people knew, but most didnt. thats why it didnt blow up in 2013.

    I challenge you to google "Cosby Suite" and set your search result timepicker to "1/1/2001 to 1/1/2012" and pass along some examples that stand the test of time. Don't worry, I wont hold my breath on this one.

    So what? Congrats on finding some guy's private, casual group chat. Boohoo. Company policy isn't made in there.
    BUT it can.

    PROVE it doesn't.

    SEE???

    it just shows the public didnt really start talking and knowing about it widely until 2014. its revisionist to pretend otherwise. Could people have looked into bill cosby and found out? sure. But its disingenuous to say most did. cosby was not widely know to be a rapist until 2014. In 2013 he was still doing shows, making appearances, giving talks etc.

    It takes a truly vile kind of human to retroactively apply the standards of today to somebody a decades past and hold them accountable for something with assumption that 'they knew bro'.

    i'm sorry, are you seriously trying to find ways to defend someone that was removed from the company because even they found accusations of sexual harassment credible?

    You're using Google to show and tell it wasn't widespread, KNOWING all the cross-talk here about arbitration and NDAs?

    Like I said to MoanaLisa, things aren't being said and hammered HOME about employment and employee rights and the damn processes, that ALLOWS BS like this to be posted as excuses.

    Willful ignorance is WILLFUL.

    knowing cosby was a rapist 100% was not widespread and known by most people until 2014 and later. This is just reality.

    You're wasting your time. They're going to believe what they want to believe.
    Remember: Words are not violence.
    Make your own groups!!!

    I remember shows making jokes about it nearly a decade before that. Chappelle, 30 rock, and about a dozen other shows made references to it

    It was known. So was the Weinstein stuff but just not by 99% of the general population. But people in the know? Out in California who worked in the entertainment business? They knew. Hell, the Cosby jokes date back to the 90s

    That wasn't sexual harrassment, those were folks talking amongst trusted friends.

    No one grabbed someone, no one forced themselves on to someone else. No one did any of that. A few guys thought they could trust the room, and made jokes amongst themselves that friends often do.

    You've done it, I've done it, everyone has done it in some way shape or form. If you say you haven't, youre just a liar

    Fire them, get new folks. Done.
    Do you think that top end game developers, programmers, artists, vfx gurus, production folk just what... grow on trees? That losing swaths of your in house expertise and knowledge is fixed by 'just magically replace them'? For fuck's sake, recruitment in the game industry favours the employee not the employer right now as demonad is very high.

    Just replace them is a boneheded take when you have mass employee grievance.

    Women back in the day would laugh at what these children call sexual harrassment or lewd conduct. This shit isn't even close. Their ears are too sensitive, and they think they need safe spaces to not do their job.

    grow up

    wow, no those women you're talking about were probably too sacred to speak out. if anything things have improved to the point where women feel confident enough to talk about it.

    1/3 is from Child SEXUAL Abuse (CSA) can become perps, IF, they don't get treatment. If they do they can be helped.

    CSA causes "soul murder" and it's particularly harmful.

    NEVER use abuse as an excuse to claim "well they were abused so they were so-and-so...". It's patently offensive and wrong.
    I never said that. I said that being abused doesn't mean you are going to be a good person because TheRevenantHero claimed to know the other guy was lying about his abuse due to the guy being a troll.

    You think abusing others after being abused yourself is being less of a jerk thing to do than trying to invalidate an entire argument? My point was that clearly being abused doesn't mean you are a saint. To deny someone else because they are someone you don't like is absolutely despicable especially when you are trying to be the moral high road.
