Not experiencing "justice" Doka - just pointing out the obvious, namely, hypocrisy. Hollywood reeks of it.......

Not discounting the issue of sexual assault at all - I've seen quite a bit in healthcare over the years, but I see that the floodgates in Hollywood have opened, and have started to spread beyond Hollywood (even guys are telling their stories....).

The point is, at some point, can't society bring itself to recognize that, maybe, perhaps, bad things happen to just about everyone, and that "victimhood" of whatever sort, is not something that is "owned" by a certain demographic?

#MeToo: Social media flooded with personal stories of assault

(CNN)Two simple words became a rallying cry on Twitter to stand against sexual harassment and assault.
"Me too."
Social media was flooded with messages Sunday, mostly from women, who tagged their profiles to indicate that they have been sexually harassed or assaulted.

A Looney Tuney Far-Left "Fast And The Furry-ous" Cartoony Correlation

Speaking of correlations in the convergent entertainment & media industry? Even as "ratings creep" eases standards for extreme physical force on big screens, the clamp remains set firmly against the same appearing on 'approved for tots' animated TV fare -

On 'kiddie toons' today, the only anvils you'll find dropping on heads are in the extreme lecturing innocent children's consciousnesses are subject to, including BUT NOT limited to forcibly and firmly pummeling climate change hysteria into tykes' brains.

The effects of long-term prolonged exposure to such heavy-handed far left falderal is entirely evident by a coincident rise IN antagonistically coercive actions by kids and adults alike against any and every one who doesn't agree with their extreme views.

While not everyone falls for this campaign of mindfully forcible propaganda, those who don't acquiesce to the media's mental rape face increasing odds of being subject to violent assaults, verbal and/or physical, by thoroughly brainwashed freakouters -

Yet what self-styled 'super genius' Far Left propagandists and their hysterical dupes don't realize is history shows even the best laid plans of coyotes and men, AND their anviliciously Acme attacks have a way of backfiring time and again -- MEEP MEEP!

Very well said Kbot.

The one thing that always gets forgotten and overlooked is that People make-up the societies that they live in. The Obami Years where a "Free For All" for giving those that "squeeked the loudest" most things they demanded, but no one appears happy with what they got, because it's Never Enough! In the meantime, people kept voting for their own unrest.

Believe it or not, while every one wants to hate Trump, he is quietly putting a strong nation back together, Rule of Law may even find it's way to be restored. And he will keep trying to get Congress to work as designed ,not as it has been , like a run-away, self centered kindergarten. Hopefully soon Congress will get tired of Trump and start working together for the greater good of the people that put them there. A great day for Trump and the people.

As far as Hypocrisy, as individuals, we probably need to take a look at ourselves and those we put on pedestals, the expectations of them and comparison with others and ourselves, makes us all hypocrites at one time or another.

With all the talk of "victims", it got me wondering what's out there in terms of support groups: how many, lists, etc. It's difficult to pin down an exact number as there are so many variables. This, I suppose, is that makes the concept of "being a victim" so open to abuse. It's a regular cottage industry..........

Snippet:

What Are the Education Requirements to Become a Victim Advocate?

You can pursue a victim advocate career a few different ways. Some agencies and organizations might consider training the right people for the job, for instance, but this is usually rare. Most individuals interested in victim advocate careers will usually need to get a formal education. This usually involves earning at least an associate’s or a bachelor’s degree in social work, criminal justice, psychology, or victimology. Some victim advocates might also earn graduate degrees in these areas as well.

"Victimology"?????? WTF????????? When did this even become a word.......????

Wow!, Hollywood insults Country Loving movie goers down to their burning shoestrings. And then can't figure out why all these "Nazi"," Stupid People" won't PAY to see their movies?

It must be the "Critics" fault .................Right?? :confused:



Hollywood’s box office failures go beyond Rotten Tomatoes ratings


“Blade Runner 2049” was supposed to be a hit.

The film, one of the most anticipated of the year, seemed to have all the necessary ingredients with two popular leading men and an original that has gained cult status since its release in 1982. But it has not been the box office hit the industry hoped for, despite being showered with rave reviews.

Studios blamed the dismal box office performance of a number of big-budget blockbuster films this summer on negative reviews from critics and Rotten Tomatoes.

The film review aggregator, owned by Comcast Corp.-owned CMCSA, +0.42% Fandango, has been in the spotlight ever since. Last week legendary director Martin Scorsese wrote a guest column in the Hollywood Reporter criticizing Rotten Tomatoes and its impact.

But if well-reviewed films are also struggling commercially, can Rotten Tomatoes really be to blame?
