Catch-all sex scandal thread
We actually need one of these, how fucked up is that? I don't need to write a summary I don't think, but the latest one is that Chloe from Smallville has been accused of being involved in a sex slave cult.

Allison Mack (according to the reports) is a recruiter for a sex slave cult, which uses brainwashing and blackmail
But looks like she might be the victim of brainwashing and blackmail herself? By a guy called Raniere who runs a self-help company?
Seriously what the fuck?

Not as high profile but still
lawsuit from a former bodyguard claiming that she performed “sexual acts with the intent that they be viewed by Anello.”

I don't know if i like this new trend any better,...
No. People have been fed up for ages but powerless to do anything about it. The tide of power turned against a couple of high-profile victimizers which finally enabled people to come out strong against them. That in turn empowered other people to come forward against more powerful targets because there was finally some support.
Get all this shit out in the open, make it easier for people to come forward and be believed
this only works of naming and shaming has any impact
and as Trump and Roy Moore have shown us, there's no guarantee of that
that sounds more like a failed come on (though a particularly brazen one)
Yeah. The waters get kind of muddied, because the sex cult is one hundred percent real and has been reported on by respectable outlets.
But her involvement with it has only really showed up in tabloids (the article I read on it was in the Daily Mail, for instance).
No, she was his employer and it's harrassment

I'm super disappointed in the George Takei accusation. I'm really gonna have to keep tabs on that as it develops.
I'm dissapointed with the both the sheer volume and the kind of people who are turning out to be garbage.
Nah, read the whole claim; if even half of what he says is true she was pulling some really inappropriate stuff a lot of the time.
we will probably never hear about most of them but it is just as important for them to be held accountable as well
Also a bunch of very weird anti-white racist abuse coming from her going on in this one.
I mean, we knew Mariah Carey was a little crazy, but geez.
who's gonna hold them accountable though
accountability only works if their community or their public has the interest, moral or material, to hold them to their actions
this is no longer the case among large swaths of the population and specific powerful elite communities
yeah, I didn't read the whole thing
that is pretty super fucked up, George HW Bush
also fucked up is Jim McGrath's trying to explain that shit away
in the case of many microcelebs, their name is their trade
anything that tarnishes that can have devastating effects for their prospective careers
what's nick robinson up to after getting fired from polygon
The RPG community has just had this
It's been fucking crazy times. I'm glad it's out but still.
oh listen, no doubt there are repercussions
for some of them
I was trying to hint at some current republican politicians, and my fear that that trend might spread further as more unscrupulous people try and use it to get out of these accusations
And weren't there multiple women coming forward about him? I thought I last read it was like 12 but that may have been about someone else.
I think it's 6 now with this particular complaint
why?!
=/
That needs to change
That's a very different situation. Politicians backed by a major political party have possibly the most power and social protection of anyone and almost complete control of at least a branch of the media that would otherwise take them to task in the public eye.
