Their president and his groomer wife remind me of the Mary Kay LeTourneau situation, but hopefully less bad?

Not coincidentally, the outdated book written by LeTourneau called "Our Love" about her grooming Vili and calling it "love" was ONLY published in France; no other country wanted to publish it.

But yeah why are the French like this?

I don't think there's any group of people more weird than the French bourgeoisie (except MAGA freaks I guess).

No, art will survive a few rapists facing consequences. Talent is not a get out of jail free card

having been forced to sit through a bunch of his movies in French classes, talent isnt really on the table. :P

This is the Polanski petition all over again.

Unsurprisingly, Polanski's wife has signed this letter too.
