[url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-41824948[/url] [quote]Production of the sixth season of Netflix series House of Cards has been suspended following sexual assault allegations against actor Kevin Spacey. Spacey, who stars in the political drama, has been accused of making sexual advances to a 14-year-old boy. The show was already due to end after this season, but production is now suspended "until further notice".[/quote]

Had a friend who literally just got a job there too hah.

You really wonder, how many Hollywood productions would have to be suspended if we knew the identity of every harasser in the industry?

[QUOTE=RichyZ;52842975]if half of all good vidgames wouldn't be possible due to studio heads and publisher bigwigs being fired/jailed for sexual harassment/abuse, i'd be happy that justice was served, not sad that an entertainment medium lost some projects for a few years[/QUOTE] Is it not possible to feel both? Like it's pretty shitty that some potentially good work could be lost but if it's to stop shit like this from being perpetuated then sure, go ahead.

[QUOTE=DinoJesus;52843009]Ever heard of a joke, rusty?[/QUOTE] hilarious

[QUOTE=DinoJesus;52843009]Ever heard of a joke, rusty?[/QUOTE] Holy shit this excuse. No, you didn’t make a joke, you made a dumbass post. Quit it with this.

[QUOTE=DinoJesus;52843009]Ever heard of a joke, rusty?[/QUOTE] kindly point me to the joke because i dont see it

This does sort of confuse me. I mean, what in practical terms would equal "justice" for a case like this? I mean it doesn't sound like a rape allegation, just harassment. Still bad, but not quite as severe. We don't know if it was a one off thing either, but at least from the sounds of it, it sounds like Spacey has been mostly good to people since then. "Rehab"? Jailtime? Community Service? Acting ban? What realistically makes sense? Does time past matter as a factor? Can people redeem themselves?

Lots of them work as a sort of punishment thing, so an incentive not to commit the crime and to satisfy people who "demand justice". Restorative justice works differently to stop the offender repeating the crime, even then you face the question of "can this person be reformed"?

[QUOTE=DinoJesus;52843009]Ever heard of a joke, rusty?[/QUOTE] Merely pretending.

This is a business decision, not a work of social justice.
