You know, when it's old, tasteless tweets by a guy like James Gunn, I'm all for letting the past be the past and allowing people to redeem themselves.
This guy liked to sexually assault young boys.
Going to jail and getting fined is how people are supposed to redeem themselves in this society, and you may hold it against him forever but I'm not because I don't deny the existence of talent where it exists. As if Kevin Spacey was ever going to do what he did again. This guy has become reviled by the whole planet and no one would let any kid even get in his eyesight.

well this video just got a whole lot more creepy....
"gay, see?" is too good
Spacey hasn't even gone to jail. He had his TV show and movie contracts cancelled and has been sued by a number of his victims. He's still rich and living more comfortably than any of us. And believe it or not, talent isn't so rare that we have to overlook a lifetime of sexual misconduct to savor it.
I'm not overlooking his crimes. But I still want him to come back. Though I'm not even willing to say that he deserves as much.
Is he really not going to jail though?
HI kids, do you like rape?
The man is innocent until proven guilty.
scroll up a few posts
You realize what arraigned means, right?
Scroll through the article and you will see a trial has not even occurred yet, you silly billy.
The man has admitted his behavior.
Must suck for ex-cons with no particular talent to be denied most of their applications while a kiddy diddler is allowed to keep his job because he happens to be good at it. Not sure I'd like to live in your world.
Look, I'm not calling for this guy to be let go scot-free; I'm just asking for people to separate artists from their art. He can greenscreen his scenes in prison if he wants.
Just yesterday I googled Spacey since I hadn't heard shit since the allegations came forward. Dude literally dropped off the face of the earth for an entire year, and then he posts this? My mind is fucking blown, this is some next level creepy shit.
Why does he look like someone wearing a Kevin Spacey mask?
I mean to be fair:

House of Cards. He's playing in character as Frank Underwood, an intelligent sociopathic politician bent on gaining power in any way, entirely willing to commit acts of skullduggery to get his way. He was kicked out of the show when the allegations against him came to light and he made this to try and get back, talking about both events in the show as well as outside ones. Artistically it's a good video but it came out at a bad time considering he's actually being charged now, and just seems creepy.
Nah. His game is off (in more ways than one) and it shows, and well the timing, the timing is p much internet eternal meme territory.
Separating art from artist is for when someone just says some dumb shit/has some rather terrible political opinions/whatever, not for when someone might have fucking raped people.
