French Film Academy Board Resigns Amid Polanski Controversy

shareInteresting development.
shareI thought the board was brave to resist pc and ultra-feminists. It's weird they suddenly resign since it wasn't very difficult to predict what was going to happen.
Anyway, the article said the members of the Academy vote so the board isn't directly involved and a majority of the members voted for Polansky and against that new witches hunt.
roman polanski deserves to be locked up like weinstein
shareWhy because he had consensual sex with someone who was a little bit Younger than prudish american standards? He didn't rape her or had sex with a baby. I Don't know for you but at 13 i knew what I wanted with whom I wanted it. But ok, it was "illegal". Now he didn't kill or rape anyone and it has been more than 40 years ago. The problem is the metoo revisionism.
And Weinstein … well I'm not very impressed by the first trial with the hystercial environment of Metoo. Let's see in appeal. With the burden of proof and the very weak testimonies of the girls, it's a shame he was convicted. Did he use his situation of power to get sex ? Probably. Unfortunately for these girls it's not a crime.
It wasn't consensual. She was groomed by her mother to do it.
shareIt wasn’t consensual. She was drugged. And having sex with a 13 year old is illegal in most countries. It’s not a “prudish American” thing.
sharelook the metoo can be radical at times but they both need to be locked up crime doesnt pay
shareWere you drugged at 13?
