In light of Anthony Rapp’s allegation that Kevin Spacey made sexual advances towards him when he was 14 years old, many are looking at Spacey in a totally new light. But while there are people that are shocked by this news, there’s also a chorus of “finallys” going around online.
Molesting a 14-year-old is horrible enough. But if McFarlane is suggesting that Spacey molested even younger -- very much younger -- children, I think I'm going to throw up.
speaking of a House of Cards.
Is ‘pedophile’ one of those ‘62’ other ‘genders’ they’ve made up yet?
What I don’t get, about Spacey, Weinstein and any others, if they “all knew”, why didn’t anyone say anything?
I understand that people on their way up or wanting to break into Hollywood wouldn’t, but what about the biggies? Rosie says she knew. Where was her big yap? Why was she silent? This goes for all of them.
I’d almost think if they’re out they’re saying they knew, then if my child was molested by one of these people, can I not then sue the big star that said they knew also? Aren’t they complicit?
The fat loudmouthed slob isn’t mad about the molestation, she’s mad that he wouldn’t come out of the closet and tried to look as normal as possible.
Oh, stop being such a pedophobe.
Stewie is a character on Family Guy who has the body of a toddler but talks like a very intelligent adult. He often speaks from the viewpoint of a much older person so McFarlane isn't suggesting Spacey molests babies. Even more sinister is the fact that McFarlane makes jokes about Spacey but doesn't report anything, which potentially allows Spacey to get away with molesting even more 14-year-olds. I guess that means McFarlane thinks that molesting boys is funny.
Because even the bigger stars could find themselves frozen out of any major movie, TV or theatrical work if they said anything.
Hollywood is like one of those old company towns in the middle of nowhere - the company runs literally everything. If the company screws you and you publicly complain about it, you quickly find you can’t get work anywhere and you start missing meals. If you’re lucky, you’ll have enough money to get away from that town. If not... well...
Yeah, it’s like that.
Thing is, McFarlane didn’t have incontrovertible, indisputable proof, which is what it would take for accusations to succeed at that point. Without that, you lodge accusations as your peril. As Ralph Waldo Emerson put it, “Never strike a king unless you are sure you shall kill him.”
correction: Stewie–a toddler–runs screaming through a mall and naked, “Help! I’ve escaped from Kevin Spacey’s basement!”
It’s because of going along to get along, and not stepping on anybodies toes. That’s huge in hollywood. These people are childish, petulant, and hold grudges.
That’s why.
McFarlane is a turd and we all know it.
I wouldn’t read anything into that. That’s just David Mamwt.
Would there actually be a place where he would say - that's it, I am stopping at 8 year olds.
Now, I am waiting for him to say - okay I am a pedophile, but I would never touch a 6 year old.
We should all be very happy that yet another pedophile has been exposed to the public. This is a very hidden crime and it would be a great blessing to have as many perps as possible, alive or dead, widely known to the public. If they are famous, their fame needs to turn to disgust. They should not be enjoying estates of $100,000,000 dollars, as Spacey is. He should be in the big house living like all the other criminals. From what we know, even they would find him despicable. The real mystery is why good people know about this but stay quiet, making more and more children at risk for this kind of crime. I hope that anyone who has knowledge of pedophilia in Hollywood, in Academia, in Government or anywhere in this land will speak up loudly. Now is the time. Let’s clean this up for the sake of children.
These are the people who have ‘defined’ American popular culture, and who have held themselves up as the collective conscience and moral compass of the nation. No wonder we are in trouble.
Wow. That’s is one trip down bad logic lane.
I am not defending Spacey, but your leap from using a cartoon character to repeat a rumor to having Macfarlane condone pedophilia is a leap across one big chasm.
