These pictures have been haunting me for real

[aleshakills]

If you are someone who likes to watch a lot of cop shows, I want you to ask yourself a few questions.

Why do all TV cops, even the good ones, hate Internal Affairs? Isn’t the job of Internal Affairs to root out the “bad cops”? Isn’t their job to make sure police follow the rules? Why is that presented as inherently evil or antagonistic? 

Why do all TV cops, even the good ones, hate defense attorneys? Isn’t the defense attorney’s job to protect the rights of all citizens? Isn’t it their job to make sure police follow the law? Isn’t it their job to make sure everyone is treated fairly under the system? Why is that presented as inherently evil or antagonistic? 

Why do all TV cops, even the good ones, get upset when citizens invoke their constitutional rights? Don’t those rights exist to ensure all citizens are treated fairly? Don’t they exist to ensure innocent people are not wrongfully incriminated? Why are citizens who invoke their rights presented as dishonest, untrustworthy, or antagonistic? 

To be clear, I’ve watched Brooklyn 99 and enjoyed it. I was watching Elementary the other day. But even when I watch shows I like, I make a mental note every time a cop lies, breaks the law, subverts someone’s basic rights, or just generally acts like an asshole to the people the are meant to serve and protect. 

How often are they called out on their behavior? How often are they punished for it? How often is it reinforced as correct by the narrative?

When I tell people to be critical of the media they consume that is what I mean. Not simply calling it terrible and moving on, but actually engaging thoughtfully, asking questions, and forming conclusions about what that media is trying to say to you. Then decide whether you want to keep listening, or if it will be better for you in the long run to move on.

WORLD EXCLUSIVE: Mother of Sexually Abused Boy Bander Breaks Her Silence, Implicates Disney, CAA, Hollywood Records, LAPD, DA & Industry Elite in Pedophile Ring & Cover-up

Hollywood only wants certain stories to be told. The stories where underage kids are plied with alcohol at the homes of glittery celebrities, like Chris

Here is the article people are reacting to right now. Take with an obvious grain of salt, but remember that since a lawsuit has been filed this might very well be true, and that it is important to believe and support survivors. Do not jump to immediate disbelief at this until it is clear that the allegations are not true and the source can’t be trusted.

Watch out: in-depth discussion of pedophilia, child sexual abuse, grooming, rape and sexual assault.

This article discusses the sexual abuse of R. Garcia, a young disney star who was allegedly abused frequently, often within sight of celebrities and other disney employees, implicating that this is something that is normalized and happens regularly to young disney stars.

People implicated to a larger or lesser degree in this article:

Chris Pratt (Not implied to have ‘done’ anything himself, but was present: it happened at his house)

Anna Faris  (Not implied to have ‘done’ anything herself, but was present: it happened at her house)

Joby Harte (the child’s manager)

Tyler Grasham (Friend of Harte’s)

Nils Larsen (manager)

Lisa Delcampo

Sara Espiritu 

Janet Kim

Disney, as a company itself, since this abuse allegedly happened out in the open at parties where many Disney employees were present and watching, implying that this sort of thing is a regular occurrence in disney.

Seeing gifs and clips of Ricky Gervais at the golden globes like, oh so now the transphobe is gonna preach to us

seeing a lot of joaquin phoenix and i know it’s not really Known because people seem to be reluctant in putting blame on him but he was named by the same women who accused casey affleck of being inappropriate on set. the women claimed that he and affleck locked themselves in their hotel room with two other women, allegedly to have sex with them.

there’s also a really good part in this article: 

The Me Too and Time’s Up movements aren’t just about calling out abusers but breaking down systems of complicity. Phoenix is, by these accounts, the epitome of complicity.

And we can’t ignore that Phoenix was not just a bystander. That in itself would be bad enough, as it takes a team of complicit bystanders to allow one Casey Affleck to thrive. But according to the lawsuits, Phoenix took full part in at least one of the acts Affleck was sued for: locking themselves in the women’s bedroom to engage in sexual acts. So why has this evaded Joaquin Phoenix’s narrative?
