Bryan Singer sex abuse allegations

What is so accusatory about questioning the use of the word Pedophile. Pedophile is a highly charged word, and speaks specifically about Pre-pubescent children, not 15 - 17 year olds.

What is so wrong and accusatory about asking for an explanation of why XMen is being accused of promoting indoctrinating young straight men into being Gay, when so many other stories are about talented/gifted Teens being sent to a school where they can be accepted and have their gifts honed? Stories such as Harry Potter or even Star Wars? Hell, Star Wars is way closer to the analogy with NAMBLA and Older Men indoctrinating young boys. Anakin was what 6 or 8 years old when they found him, and Yoda complained he was getting too old? Or How about Ender's Game, which was written by a very Anti-Gay man, who actually spends/spent his own money on a Crusade against Gays?

I hope all of this is the fantasy of a mentally disturbed young man but this is beginning to sound like the Catholic abuse scandal. Initially the few people who came forward had stories so preposterous that no one believed them. It took over 20 years to get the full story and it worse than anyone could imagine.

The different is that the accuser in this instance already sued one person over the allegations but somehow failed to mention Bryan Singer at the time even though he had opportunity to.

Here is a pretty weird one I heard about some years ago. Looked like a massive child prostitution ring including high-ranking US politicians, but upon further scrutiny it pretty much fell apart.
 
Isn't the correct word pederasty rather than pedophilia? If the allegations are true (and I'm not saying they are or they're not), that's just horrible. Sexual assault (especially on minors) is an unspeakable crime, IMHO. Singer would be ruined along with the X-Men franchise.
 
I doubt this thread would even exist if it was a woman bringing the charges against Singer (if he were straight).

Just remove the part in parentheses. The thread would still exist, but be titled "Bryan Singer accused of being bi-sexual".
 
Did anyone see the SITCOM "Legit" last night?

A FICTIONAL story where Carrie Fisher is playing the part of a Network Executive who is insisting that a younger comedian, the star of the show, has to lick her pussy(her words, her exact words.) if he wants to star in his own new Sitcom... Then something abut how 18 guys could have been Chandler in Friends, but only Matthew Perry was willing to g et on his knees and do what was necessary.

(The following is not an exact quote, but close.)

"Do you know how many miles of cock women have had to suck in this town to get a well paying gig? But women are in charge now and it's a band new world where the shoe is on the other foot and they have all the power."
 
It's been 20 hours.

He may not have noticed?

But then Carrie had to put up with the Golden Bikini episode of Friends, so it sounds even to me.

Chandler: Okay.
Ross: So, uh, the other night Rachel and I are in bed talking about fantasies, and I happened to describe a particular Star Wars thing....
Chandler: Princess Leia in the gold bikini.
Ross: Yes!
Chandler: I know!
Ross: Yes! Wow, well, that-that was easy. Okay, you-you go.
Chandler: Okay.
Ross: Okay.

Well, maybe not exactly even.

No, it's not. Movie ticket sales won't be affected by this unless something more damning comes out. Polanski's films still win Oscar awards and the man admitted to drugging and raping someone.
 
Well in Theory Ender's Game was destroyed by an ongoing hatefulantigaygenda that approximated a sex scandal, even though it sucked and the suckingness probably had more to do with it than the scandal.
 
Some fans will now be hoping Singer takes over ST3, and of course the scandal will follow over to our side.

It's because she's learned the Unwritten Book of the Road.

Your statement was bigoted, ignorant, and painted millions of law abiding gay people as pedophiles, or potential pedophiles, out to groom children. I don't appreciate being called a pedophile, and it's not a joke. Your post is disgusting.

The only persons lumping legitimate law-abiding homosexuals in with criminals and pedophiles are the people who can't see that criticism of (alleged) bad acts by a particular gay person does not mean criticism of gay people in general.

You insinuated as much in your opening post, and have danced around that insinuation throughout this thread.
