good. but will they take away polanski's oscar?

[britrawick]

I see Polanski only went when they decided to drop the black man? Like im not even capping for Cosby but why is Polanski ONLY being dropped now? They knew theyd be called out if they dropped Cosby while still keeping Polanski. Transparent af. Anyways, purge all the abusers

[arilicious]

because none of them were convicted, that's why.

[arilicious]

oh...I didn't know that.

I get Bill Cosby now but Roman Polanski's been a known rapist for decades and it's taken them this long to become "woke" about him? It just seems like they are trying for brownie points in the #MeToo era.

[sandstorm]

Oh they so are.

They knew if they expelled Cosby after the conviction but let Polanski stay, they'd be rightly dragged through the mud. Otherwise they would have been happy to let a convicted child rapist remain in their ranks.

now upgrade and expel them from living.
