Being a history buff, the #metoo brand is reaching in power (perhaps surpassing) the red commie scare purge of Hollywood the 1950's.

Franco committed no crime, has settled with the female parties out of civil court. But he is not forgiven.

He has been recently been labled a "Sexual predator" by a actress. Something that was once reserved for pedophiles. The ante has been upped and more actors will be so labled.

The age of the playboy actor is dead.



reply

But not a lot of people are being arrested just for being inappropriate, though.

reply

Fair point. The Red scare was probably worse in many ways.

reply

For sure, because you arent labelled as "Treasonous to your country" just for being sexually aggressive.

reply

Franco had a pig named after him in Cooper Barrett's Guide to Surviving Life, and this was in early 2016 - way before the Me Too trend.

reply

Well...my thing is he is not a criminal. Never been charged with a crime. But he is being treated worse than Hollywood celebrities that have committed manslaughter.

reply

At least manslaughter is accidental...usually, that is.

reply

He made himself popular, allegedly with co-workers and people behind the scenes, as well as with women.

Actors have to maintain both their popularity with the public and good relations with the people who might employ them, if they want to keep their careers afloat. Franco didn't bother to do either, and this is what happens.

reply

Just keep your hands to yourself and respect other people's right to their body and you won't have to whine about metoo.

reply

Yup. Just fantasize.

reply

#metoo is a righteous organization, but like any organization, give it too much power and it can become tyrannical.

#metoo is now being used as a tool for political hitjobs, or settling old scores...

reply

except for Andrew Cuomo, he is immune to MeToo.

reply

You were saying?

reply

justice prevails...

reply

Just keep your hands to yourself and respect other people's right to their body and you won't have to whine about metoo.

Yet another man-child. 😴

reply

Laughing at some utterly stupid statement is a reasonable reaction, and the statement is obviously stupid since the problem here is how justice has abandoned the presumption of innocence.

Once the presumption of innocence is abandoned, being innocent is useless, since an accusation without evidence is enough to sentence you.

Laughing was reasonable and appropriate. I think you confuse being a grown-up with having a broom stick up your ass.

reply

Look at how many "innocent" men have been metoo-accused and compare it with the amount of abused women.
I'm writing "innocent" because I yet need to see a decent man falsely accused.
Ergo, just keep your hands to yourself and respect other people's right to their body and you won't have to whine about metoo.

Unless you have a crystal ball, you only have accusations. You don't know, you just believe.

What's sure is that you can't tell apart between both. You can't tell apart between you Faith and the real Facts. That's a symptom of high religiosity.

reply

lol wut? it's been long known that james franco likes little girls. you people will defend adolf hitler if you want to. it was well known that harvey weinstien and kevin spacey were raging rapists and pedos for yeeeeaaarsss but it didn't come out officially until 2017. franco will get his day.

reply

could you give us your definition of "little girls"

reply

LOL when you compare a disorganized just general sentiment of people saying women should speak out in an industry known for rapists.

vs a made-up red scare that literally sentenced people to death....

thats some logic there....

reply

Exactly, lol. Also, There are plenty of playboy actors that don't get accused of misconduct. They just understand the difference between a date and a shift at work.

reply

which doesnt mean there are never false accusations, they happen, and I cant deny some extremists moving too quick to discredit and destroy someone.

but yes as you said there are plenty of playboys who dont abuse their power to manipulate a person into sleeping with them, think that because they are famous they can touch anyone they want (sexually assault somone)

where's all the George Clooney assault claims?

this guy in the post is making wild extreme claims

reply

"The age of the playboy actor is dead."

So??? It's not the 50s anymore. Why would you want 'playboy' actors anyway. They were all pieces of shit. Look at Marlon Brando and the way he treated his women. He was an absolute psychopath. Why would anyone want to emulate that. That's just a recipe for broken marriages and alcoholism .

reply

He's only half-Jewish and grew up secular. Not good enough to qualify for a Hollywood media propaganda shield.

reply

"He added, “However, I do look back at a joke I made on Saturday Night Live in 2014 and I very much regret making that joke. It was a terrible joke, honestly. And I also look back to that interview in 2018 where I comment that I would keep working with James, and the truth is that I have not and I do not plan to right now.” In the SNL episode, Franco DMs a 17-year-old British schoolgirl and asks for her number.

What seemed amusing then is not now in the new world order."

Rogen is such a piece of shit, he got TDS, even though he is Canadian, and turned political correct. he is done.

If Seth Rogen talks bad about James Franco we know Franco is the one to believe

reply

SR has always been a pile of shit but it's only in the past few years that he's powerful enuff to expose himself without repercussion

reply

true, he still makes money of his old movies every time they are shown on TV.

And the fool needs it, because the genre of movie that made his famous, ( they were funny and i actually liked them) can no longer be made in this PC era
So where is he going to get work from now?
it's been years since his last big role, guess that is why he turned into a political activist.

But he is not American, so why not be a activist in his homeland Canada..... the US have opened up, Canada have not, guess they are not that powerful and superior as they think and claim to be.

Go home Seth, fix Canada LOL

reply

What a great friend.

reply

Rogan really is fully commited to the (minority view) wokeness. Outside the progressive crowd he really is despised now. Used to like his stuff, still say Superbad is top quality but can not see any way back for him now. We've all seen him for the despicable coward he is now.

reply

Aren't them friends anymore?
