    Meh.

    A: he talks about how he asked first to show them his dick. That's one thing, but then forcing them to watch him jerkoff? Come on.
    B: Call me cynical, but I gurantee there were many more instances than those 5 woman

      yeah, he takes responsibility and apologizes in an empathetic and non patronizing way.

        It's definitely far better than the reaction of anyone else who has been accused in this wave.

          No doubt he was pressured to make it, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if there were more women. And there's possibly even worse allegations. It would have been much more powerful had it came after the allegations first came out. Still, it's more remorseful than what we typically see.

            I can agree with that. It's me being cynical for sure.

                yeah apologies probably mean very little to the victims of stuff like this and they are mostly self-serving but that is about as good as you can do.

                  This Writer Says Rolling Stone Founder Jann Wenner Offered Him Work In Exchange For Sex

                  https://www.buzzfeed.com/maryanngeor...x3A#.caOanAoz9

                  The invitation that started with such high expectations ended, he told BuzzFeed News, with an offer of career advancement in exchange for sex.

                  Sitting in Wenner’s corner office, Ryan did his best “to seem incredibly knowledgeable and professional,” while Wenner leaned back with his feet on the table. Ryan left with an assignment for Men’s Journal.

                  Ryan said Wenner called now and then to check in, then again one evening with an invitation to his Upper West Side townhouse.

                  The publisher greeted his guest, fixed him a drink — “like a sidecar; one of those old, fancy, mid-century lowball glasses,” Ryan recently recalled — and sat with him on a couch. Wenner had been out as gay for 10 years by that point, and Ryan said he was aware that he might have expectations, but the young writer figured he could hold the line. Then suddenly, said Ryan, his host pounced.
                  At the suggestion that anyone else might know about their encounter, Ryan said, “It was like the entire temperature of the room changed in a flash.” Wenner “got very upset and was pseudo-threatening of how bad it could be if this got out.”

                  Ryan recalls feeling terrified. “All of a sudden I was the bad guy and I felt like I was in the hot seat and being grilled.”

                  He got up to leave. He was in the foyer, he said, when Wenner made him an offer: Stay, and I’ll give you a writing contract.

                  “I think there was that moment where it’s like time stood still, and you’re imagining how this could be the answer to all my struggles. All I would have to do is this one thing,” Ryan said. “But that’s not me. I would never do that.”
                  One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.

                    George Takei is up next. Sounds like he's being accused of drugging someone and then trying to take advantage.

                    https://www.aol.com/article/entertai...1981/23274049/

                    "The next thing I remember I was coming to and he had my pants down around my ankles and he was groping my crotch and trying to get my underwear off and feeling me up at the same time, trying to get his hands down my underwear," Brunton says. "I came to and said, 'What are you doing?!' I said, 'I don't want to do this.' He goes, 'You need to relax. I am just trying to make you comfortable. Get comfortable.' And I said, 'No. I don't want to do this.' And I pushed him off and he said, 'OK, fine.' And I said I am going to go and he said, 'If you feel you must. You're in no condition to drive.' I said, 'I don't care I want to go.' So I managed to get my pants up and compose myself and I was just shocked. I walked out and went to my car until I felt well enough to drive home, and that was that."
                    Takei of course refutes the accusation

                    "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                      Sorry George, I didn't feel shocked to read them. Not one bit.

                          Captain Kirk would never have to drug somebody to sex them up. Even aliens give it up for the Captain.
