Not gonna post the episode, tho, because fuck this sketch fails the Code of Conduct.

There’s the intro screen for “Weinstein Company”. Like damn I love these guys, but a bunch of the skits they do is fucked up.

    More like “it was a period where things were so normalized that the amount of people saying this is wrong was drowned out and hard to come by”

    It’s slightly disingenuous to act like a child of the 80s and 90s would stumble upon voices of the oppressed, which were actively stifled, and culturally we were taught to ignore.

    I do not believe this excuses it of course but just as I think there is understanding to be had for the damaged victim of abusive guardians who then starts to perpetuate that cycle I think there is understanding to be had here as well. Similarly as said it does not excuse it and just as in that example while I have understanding I also still hold that victim accountable for their actions, though this consequence may be modulated given the circumstances. There is nuance, is my point
