He's a rape apologist (when asked about Polanksi raping a 13 year old girl he replied "I really don’t give a fuck. Look, am I going to sit and weep every time a young hooker feels as though she’s been taken advantage of?") and 'Myrion' is a transphobic pile of shit.

OP: Truly we will never see his like again.

Hope springs eternal.

He also said "The idea that this girl was in her communion dress, a little angel all in white, being raped by this awful Jew, Polacko - that’s what people were calling him - well, the story is totally different now from what it was then."

So, yeah, fuck this guy.

Wow. Gross.

This Jew will not mourn his passing. Seriously, fuck that.

Holy shit, that's vile. Truly, nothing of value was lost.

This was what immediately sprang to mind when I saw he'd passed. While I agree with nearly all of his above quotes, what he said about Polanski's victim was just too vile for me to reserve any sort of admiration for the man.

Ugh, thank you for bringing this up. I came in here to post this.

Exactly. Hated him while he was alive, hate him now that he's dead.

Thank you. I kept scrolling through this list hoping that the article was sarcastic, but apparently they actually liked this dick.
