Dr. John A. King argues that Hollywood celebrates Call Me by Your Name, which depicts statutory rape of a 17-year-old, while condemning Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein for similar misconduct. He calls the industry's moral standards hypocritical and demands alignment between awards and actual ethics.
So, uh, just, just talk me through this. So we've got this film called Call You by Your Name, which is about, um, the statutory rape of a 17-year-old boy, which it would be if it was a girl in there. We'd be having it, calling it statutory rape. And there's been a whole lot of these actresses run around and say, you know, I was 20 and I had sex and someone forced me into having sex and #MeToo. I dropped my panties and it's not good now 20 years later. Yet you're gonna glorify and award an Academy Award to a movie That condones statutory rape. What happened to Kevin bloody Spacey? So he disappears and you rewrite his movie, yet you're going to glorify this other one? We're going to sue Harvey Weinstein, but we're going to give this one an award? Some of you people are stupid, and you think the rest of us are morons. I hope the good people in Hollywood get out and go and do something that's worthy of art and worthy of your gift set.
