T/W: rape mention

More than 50 people wrote to the judge in the Danny Masterson sexual assault trial to support the convicted actor ahead of his sentencing, including:

Ashton Kutcher

Mila Kunis

Debra Jo Rupp

Kurtwood Smith

Alanna Masterson

Christopher Masterson

Jordan Masterson

Billy Baldwin

Bijou Phillips

Giovanni Ribisi

Jim Patterson

Their letters are basically saying, “Even though he has already been convicted of rape, he was my bestie so please go easy on him…”

Shout out to Topher Grace for not being a rape apologist like the rest of the ‘That 70s Show’ cast

Topher Grace’s wife, Ashley Hinshaw

In Kutcher’s letter, he writes: “While I’m aware that the judgement has been cast as guilty on two counts of rape by force and the victims have a great desire for justice, I hope that my testament to his character is taken into consideration in sentencing. I do not believe he is an ongoing harm to society and having his daughter raised without a present father would [be] a tertiary injustice in and of itself. Thank you for taking the time to read this.” Kunis’ letter adds: “I wholeheartedly vouch for Danny Masterson’s exceptional character and the tremendous positive influence he has had on me and the people around him. His dedication to leading a drug-free life and the genuine care he extends to others make him an outstanding role model and friend.”

okay but this mila kunis/ashton kutcher bullshit is a great point towards something we should all be paying attention to... someone saying they're a feminist is not enough.

liberal feminism has created this culture where the worst, scummiest people can adopt woke language and use it to hide behind.

a man can accuse you of being exclusive and discriminatory for not wanting to fuck him.

the meanest mean girl can call being a good person "emotional labour" and claim that she just doesn't have the "spoons" to be kind to others.

an abuser can use every bdsm buzzword in the book to avoid admitting that the only thing that gets him off is the pain and humiliation of his partners.

mila kunis and ashton kutcher have spent years saying the right things, at the right times. they've declared themselves feminists. they've supported whatever rainbow capitalism hollywood liberal bullshit was trending.

...

and they still wrote those letters supporting their rapist friend.

it doesn't matter what your fave celebrities say they support.

are they putting their money where their mouth is? are they going out on a limb to support victims of the industry, even when the perpetrators are hollywood legends? are they cancelling women who won't stay quiet? are they still working with abusers?

words don't mean shit anymore. actions are what matter.

Interesting that when it’s only one person who comes forwards with a rape or abuse allegation against a famous male celebrity, it’s “oh it’s only one person, if it were true there’d be a pattern!”, yet when MULTIPLE people come forward with these allegations it’s suddenly “a coordinated attack to silence someone speaking the truth/for money/for attention” - it’s almost as if people don’t give a fuck about victims and just want to defend their faves as well as excuse their own shitty behaviour.

I certainly wasn’t expecting this..

Gives a lot of pause. Remember back in the day Topher Grace got a lot of crap for not being 'friendly' with the cast during the filming of That 70's Show? He was keeping his distance from Scientology and their defenders.

Most predators aren’t strangers lurking in alleys, they’re people you’d like and trust.

Remember back in the day when everyone thought Topher Grace was a douche because he didn’t fuck with the rest of the That 70’s Show cast?

tw: rape mention

At no point did they denounce Danny Masterson or even acknowledge that he is a convicted rapist:

“We support victims.”

-Except for the victims of Danny Masterson.

“Our heart goes out to every victim of sexual assault.”

-Except for the victims of Danny Masterson.

“Our letters were intended for the judge to read.”

-We didn’t think the letters would become public.

left a tab open and saw the headline in the sidebar,

Couldn't sit on this one

[anthroxlove]

"They might not do these things to us and we only know who they were to us but that doesn't mean they didn't do horrible things and to discredit the abused is a crime. People we know as ‘awesome guys’ can be predators and abusers. It’s tough to accept but we have to. If we say we support victims — women, children, men, boys — then we must be able to take this stance."
