Accountability in Entertainment • Page 43

The way people normalized Aziz's behavior was both eye-opening and super disheartening, but the thing that's never left my mind in regards to his actions being downplayed are the other allegations that never really caught the same wind.

edit: and also this Broadly article highlighted how his behavior directly resembled certain PUA tactics: What It's Like to Be Hit on By a Pick-Up Artist

Not exactly a smoking gun, but it's gross, and there's just too much smoke between all of it for me think there isn't fire somewhere.

 

Yeah it’s been fuck Aziz still

 

Welp. Didn't know about those other incidents and now I'm ashamed and embarrassed I defended him even slightly. Sorry all.

 

Hey, not many did, which is why I felt the need to mention them. It's all about learning.

 

Jesus, i read that tag as Comedy Central and thought he had a new half hour or something coming somehow and was momentarily flabbergasted

 

There is an article on cosmo about the debate over whether to attend Aziz Ansari shows or not.

It has this poll in it. I am honestly surprised at the results.

 

Tonight I realized I still follow him on IG and he posted a photo about upcoming dates and the comments were overwhelmingly positive.

 

A statement from the actress’ attorney in response to the new Depp interview claimed: “It is outrageous that GQ never spoke to any of the multiple witnesses to Mr. Depp’s physical abuse of Ms. Heard prior to publishing its article. If GQ had done even a basic investigation into Mr. Depp’s claims, it would have quickly realized that his statements are entirely untrue. Mr. Depp has blatantly disregarded the parties’ confidentiality agreement and yet has refused to allow Ms. Heard to respond to his baseless allegations, despite repeated requests that she be allowed to do so.”
The statement added, “Mr. Depp is shamefully continuing his psychological abuse of Ms. Heard, who has attempted to put a very painful part of her life firmly in her past. One need only look at the physical evidence to draw the proper conclusion.”

 

Aziz Ansari’s New Standup Tour Is a Cry Against Extreme Wokeness

idk, kinda sounds like he hasn't really learned a whole lot

 

This article makes everything so much worse. So disappointing and disgusting.

 

Hard yikes from me

 

If his show comes back the guy who assaulted people is definitely going to have been innocent all along

 

Yeah, if that’s how he’s reacting to this, it’s pretty clear that all of his “feminism” in the past was nothing more than posturing.

 

Yeeeeeeeaaaahhhh, if that's true about Aziz Ansari, that's very disappointing.

 

it's sad people like Aziz become old and lame and not have passion anymore, in addition to obviously him use the male feminism cloak because of his skeletons it's like he used to joke about how the GOP's gay marriage arguments were dumb and now this

 

Comedic bits on “Everyone is too sensitive” are the “What’s the deal with airline food?” of the 2010s. So lazy.

 

Yeah George Carlin was actually funny and he didn't care if people agreed with him

 

Guilty.

I was a hardcore "Everyone is too sensitive" guy a couple years ago, I'm so glad I am far from feeling that way these days.
