Re: Harvey Weinstein Fired!!

Gonna have to ask everyone to take it down a notch. As you both agreed, not quite the thread for it, anyway. And a naturally tense subject, so fair game there at least.

This is incoherent. He's not being prosecuted for taking advantage of women sleeping with him to get parts (though it seems like that happened). He's being prosecuted for raping or sexually...

Re: Harvey Weinstein Fired!!

Yeah, you kind of answered your own question: why would this guy prone to risky behavior not take better precautions? That speaks for itself.

Re: Harvey Weinstein Fired!!

Correct. TWC, like many companies, have boards of directors which can remove CEOs.

Re: Harvey Weinstein Fired!!

She's saying that's a derogatory term to describe women, regardless of context. Perhaps there's a slight language barrier here, but the usage here isn't compatible with respect. Which makes sense,...

Re: Harvey Weinstein Fired!!

Apparently his children are disowning him (https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/rapist-harvey-weinsteins-adult-children-21579855). But he got laid so I'm sure it's all good.

Er, no. This doesn't follow from what I said at all. Unless you think that being convicted is just an expression of "what everyone else thinks" rather than a reflection of the overwhelming evidence...

Re: Harvey Weinstein Fired!!

Since I know I'm going to get questions about it, I'll just plainly state that Zotis received a one-day ban for a (since deleted) inappropriate comment.

Re: Harvey Weinstein Fired!!

Yeah, I think we're kinda trying to have it both ways, as a society. On one hand we get the psychological comfort of feeling like we have a humane prison system because we're technically just...

Re: Harvey Weinstein Fired!!

I feel like we're definitely at an impasse about whether or not this is okay to joke about. If anyone wants to elaborate or make their case more formally, go for it, but if we're at the "just...

He can't be stripped of ownership, but he can be booted from other roles within the company by the Board of Directors, I believe. So if he's owner and CEO, for example, the board could boot him as...

Oh, I don't think there's too much mystery about it. Increasingly, late night comedy is about getting claps, rather than laughs. That means adopting an ideology (no points for guessing which kind),...
