They are falling like flies

 

[IISANDERII]

No not Rainman too

 

[Alebrije]

Hope more fall, disgusting if true.

It's true, he already apoligized. The question is whether this was a one-off or if he has a history of doing this shit. I'd put good money on the latter.

see, this shit is unhelpful.

"oh man that was inappropriate I BET HE DOES IT ALL THE TIME GUYS!!!!!!!!!!"

it's stuff like this that stands the biggest risk of eventually causing a backlash. That is not what we need.

What?! People who do this type of shit usually exhibit a pattern of behavior. It's fucking science.

WTH are you talking about? Backlash against who....OTHER sexual predators? Oh the horror. More often than not, those who do this are sexual predators who have done it more than once too.

 

[Stranger Things]

childhood ruined

 

[blanchot]

eh, not really surprised any more. the shock factor of these celebrity behemoths being exposed has gone.

 

[Marvel]

Ugh, these people.

More to come I suppose.

 

[Polioliolio]

Ugh, these people.

"These people"? Hope you don't mean specifically Hollywood types.

The take away is that it's simply a people thing. People are sometimes creepy, sometimes cross the line inappropriately.

And who here hasn't regrets? Who here wouldn't be embarrassed by actions in their past? I guess if you're a predator, that's different.

I'm not addressing the Dustin Hoffman situation specifically. I'm just saying this is a human thing, so expect it at every turn the world over.

 

[Vicetrailia]

To be honest, this is what I expect from everyday sexual assault, minus the victim being 17.

 

[Marvel]

Nah not just them ofc.

 

[LakeEarth]

Another one bites the dust.

 

[Ombra]

This is pretty sad. Its like harrasment is basically the default within some cirles where a position of power is so evident.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

This guy has always been a fucking asshole. Read this.

 

[G-Bus]

Not sure I'd call a 17 year old a child.

Either way I'm not suprised. Makes me wonder how many women go for it and use things like this to their advantage to get ahead in the industry.

Not trying to condone the behaviour as it's disgusting and no one should have to put up with.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

‘I’ll have a hard-boiled egg … and a soft-boiled clitoris.’

I'm not sure who should feel worse here, the girl being harassed or his Entourage who had to burst out laughing at such a terrible joke

 

[M.W.]

Tom Hanks you're up

 

[BLAUcopter]

So many more actors to come too I'd say. Its gonna be a wild ride!

 

[airjoca]

This has been know forever, what went on on set. Dustin was in the midst of a bad divorce, you can kind of understand where he was coming from, since he was probably broken inside.

This sexual assault accusation however is a different beast altogether.

 

[WinterIsComing]

Oh boy... the Oscars host this year will have a lot of trouble if he/she wants to address everyone.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Yup. I mean, this stuff is pretty much an open secret. Did anyone actually think there is no sexual harassment in Hollywood? I expected this to be extremely common there.

Good thing all this shit is coming to light now. Perhaps something will change now.

Interesting that we are outraged by this and some asking for his products to be revoked and stuff and but when Evilore was accused of harassment not that long ago, that caused the great meltdown of Gaf, it kinda went unpunished? Sure there was posts being made for criticism against Evilore and what he did but it (From what I have seen) seems to have died down now and he is still owner of Neogaf as if nothing happened.

How can we start calling for Hoffman's head when are still supporting Evilore as we are? The evidence for both of these are equally strong and yet we seem to have a bias here...

Edit: okay there is an odd post here and there about him so its still there but nowhere as loud as it should be

nothing happened? the userbase gutted itself here. dude probably lost half his money overnight.

 

[Alucard]

Totally off-topic, but who are the moderators and/or who do I have to ask to nuke my account? Asking here because it's busy...

 

[Calfirma]

True but if he is still lead here he can always just earn it back/just live with it. There is loads of people still on Gaf who are thus actively supporting him by supporting his website that he profits from.

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

My mum didnt want to believe this news.

Stop making sense

At the root of everything that took here on Gaf was really jealousy.

Jealousy to who, Evilore or Hoffman? I'm just saying you cant be disgusted with one and not the other when they have both been accused of sexual indecency with the same level of validity. In both cases the women have made their accusations and mentioned some details of the event but that's it.

 

[Froli]

This is really just the start. More will come

 

[Horsemama1956]

How is this sexual harassment? Groping would be an assault to me. Why are assault and harassment being interchanged?

 

[Future]

I’m curious if any men had to deal with this at the hands of any empowered women in the industry

 

[Ptaaty]

17 year old girl gets butt grabbed 25 years ago? Who gives a shit. Media is off the deep end.

why dont you tell us why we shouldnt care

 

[Ombra]

I foresee other well known older actors being exposed, one that is very old.

 

[Pejo]

This whole campaign is really sad for those that have been assaulted/harassed, but I'm wondering how people have been pulling wool over their eyes for so long.

I mean, I'm from the east coast, and this sort of thing was just known and expected of Hollywood types. People using their fame and money to be gross to other people and get what they want. I'm a little shocked at the amount of minors involved, but I guess once you hit a certain point where you can normalize this behavior, anything goes.

It's good that it's coming out into the open and hopefully stops.

He's the final boss.

 

[Blam]

Jesus how many more are there?

 

[SparkleMotion]

The final boss would be Tom Hanks.

 

[DrDomVonDoom]

Jesus how many more are there?

All of them, wouldn't be surprised if a lot more comes out, this is Hollywood we are talking about. The shit people said about it for years that no one took seriously is coming to fruition.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Who was that Director dude that did all of those Nickelodeon teen shows like Icarly, drake and josh, etc.....isn't he also one of the biggest not-so-secret offenders too?

 

[NoMoreTrolls]

The day Keanu Reeves is outed is the day I die inside.

Not sure I'd call a 17 year old a child.

As far as I see age of consent in LA is 18:

Maybe because it doesn't count, if done by a celebrity..

Of course they have. No reason to think other wise.

He wouldn't do that to us.
