Oh my God, Tilda Swinton, you just lost all my respect in one fell blow. D:

On that note, could someone please explain to me why Roman Polanski's extradition for drugging and raping a thirteen-year-old makes him OMG SO PERSECUTED? Don't get me wrong, he's had a tragic life, but that does not make him any less of a child-raping ratbastard

... What did Tilda do?

Also, YES on the Roman Polanski stuff.

[bethan_b_bad]

She's one of the signatures on a petition saying it was all a 'moral issue' and he should be released immediately.

So is Martin Fucking Scorcese. I am NOT IMPRESSED.

[requiem2adream]

*facepalm*

Yes, she's right, it is a moral issue. The moral being 'DON'T HAVE SEX WITH CHILDREN!

[bethan_b_bad]

And if we really must specify here, DON'T DRUG, RAPE AND SODOMISE CHILDREN.

Yet apparently all that is no big deal because it was OMG THIRTY YEARS AGO and OMG SHARON TATE.

[requiem2adream]

Yeah, there is no statute of limitations regarding sexual abuse. The fact that it happened 30 years ago does not make it okay.

[bethan_b_bad]

And, legally, the statute of limitations does not apply here, because he was tried and found guilty - he only fled just before the sentencing was announced.

Somebody, please, give me that fucking baseball bat of +5 feminism.

*passes bat*

Honestly the more I hear about it, the more I wish I didn't respect him so much as a film maker.

[bethan_b_bad]

Seriously.

Whoopi Goldberg said it "wasn't rape-rape", whatever that means. And Harrison Ford is supporting him - he was the one who collected the Oscar on Polanski's behalf because Polanski couldn't return to the US without being arrested.

D:

... Dear Whoopi Goldberg and Harrison Ford,

Please DIAF.

No love ever again,

Laure.

Uh. She said no multiple times, and he stuck his wing-wang in her vagina, and then took her anally.

It's rape-rape-rapity-rape, Whoopi. No ifs, ands, or maybes.
