weinstein and more
IKM: Man, this Weinstein thing is turning into a fucking VORTEX of a shitstorm
IKM: sucking in everybody close to the dude
Kenzie: yep
IKM: Now Affleck has all kinds of groping allegations
Kenzie: I don't know if they are allegations
Kenzie: a bunch are on tape
IKM: at this point, I think we can say "groping facts"
Kenzie: Tarantino had to release a statement
Kenzie: Ben is toast
IKM: yeah, a bunch of his movies were produced by Weinstein
Kenzie: Matt Daman had to be like "I had no clue. keep my name out your mouth."
Port: Ben and his bro been bout that creep life
Kenzie: all of his movies
Kenzie: yeah I forgot about Casey
Port: I've just heard that Hollywood, generally, is filled with creeps and weirdos the higher you go
Kenzie: I would bet most of them get into the business for the ladies
IKM: Yeah the stories are starting to come out of the woodwork
IKM: the Steven Segal stories are terrible
Port: Once Terry Crews talked about getting groped up by some dude in front of his wife I was like shit.
Kenzie: what happened with Steven Seagal
DG: yeah Afflecks are verified creeps
Port: Women don't have a chance out here.
DG: Segal is involved with the Russians
IKM: Segal was inviting women to his house for "casting" interviews and would answer the door in a robe
Kenzie: Terry could have put hands on that man but didn't for his career sakes
Port: Correct
DG: Oh, didn’t see that (doh)
Port: For career's sake. Now think about a 5'3" lady
Kenzie: Segal looks like the type
Port: She can't do shit.
Kenzie: nope
IKM: Segal aint shit
IKM: and aint been shit for a long time
IKM: question is, what do we do with the likes of the Afflecks?
Port: Are we sure Segal doesn't not think he is starring in a new movie?
IKM: Casey has an Oscar and got it AFTER the whole allegations of something or other
Port: Sure did
Kenzie: there is nothing that will be done
Kenzie: they will apologize
Kenzie: give money to a cause
Kenzie: and continue to get jobs
DG: ^that
IKM: "In 2010, Affleck was sued by two former co-workers. I'm Still Here's producer, Amanda White, sued Affleck for $2 million. She detailed numerous "uninvited and unwelcome sexual advances" in the workplace, alleging that Affleck had instructed Spacehog guitarist Antony Langdon to expose himself in her presence, spoke "inappropriately" about her advancing age and fertility, discussed his "sexual exploits", referred to women as "cows", invaded her "personal space" by locking her out of her hotel room while entertaining another woman, attempted to "manipulate" her into staying with him in a hotel room, "violently" grabbed her by the arm when she refused and sent her "abusive text messages" for refusing to stay with him. White alleged that Affleck refused to honor the terms of the production agreement, including her fee, in retaliation.[163] The film's cinematographer, Magdalena Gorka, sued Affleck for $2.25 million.[164] Gorka alleged that she had been subjected to "routine instances" of sexual harassment by crew members including Langdon, "within the presence and with the active encouragement of Affleck."[165] While staying in Joaquin Phoenix's apartment during filming, Phoenix offered Gorka the private use of his bedroom. Affleck allegedly joined Gorka in bed while she slept, wearing only "his underwear and a t-shirt ... He had his arm around her, was caressing her back, his face was within inches of hers and his breath reeked of alcohol." She claimed that she was later berated and verbally attacked by Affleck for refusing his advances and she was forced to resign because of harassment and abuse."
IKM: Jeez man
DG: oliver stone said something dumb ass yesterday like “you don’t realize but what Harvey is going through right now is very difficult”
IKM: Oliver is....
IKM: I just don't know man
IKM: what a disappointment that dude is to me
IKM: seems absolutely clueless
DG: so, which Affleck is that? because either is plausible
IKM: Casey
Kenzie: yeah I knew about the Casey Affleck stuff
Kenzie: some of these guys are in a tough position
Kenzie: because they know Harvey personally
Kenzie: and some probably had prior knowledge of it
Kenzie: they have to act like they didn't know about it and hope no one has evidence contrary to that
IKM: but everybody knew
IKM: MANY people were complicit in this
IKM: apparently all of Hollywood
DG: supposedly Weinstein's contract had verbiage in it about sexual harassment suits lobbied against him
DG: not sure if that is standard contract shit or not
Schaedey: I mean it been a pretty established assumption for years, I have been hearing the same Harvey Weinstein jokes for a loooooong time
DG: really?
IKM: I think that's a problem though
IKM: people joked about it but who confronted him?
IKM: told him to stop that shit
DG: Harvey Weinstein is not on my radar on a normal day
DG: I think there’s a lot of Hollywood that is disgusting
DG: and there’s going to be a lot of shit that comes out that is terrible
DG: tip of the iceberg type shit
Port: That's what I'm saying. The culture of Hollywood seems to be gross
IKM: That's not just Hollywood though
IKM: This is pretty much male culture at large
IKM: Hollywood is just high profile
IKM: male culture at large is gross
Port: Also correct
Port: I'd imagine every creepy Hollywood exec is like turbo Gronk
Port: Jus a non-stop stream of sexually suggestive jokes
IKM: we "expect" Hollywood to be better cause they are generally liberal, pro-women in Hollywood
IKM: but that's a falsehood. Nowhere is pro-women
Port: Nah I dunno if I ever expected anyone with power to not be a scumbag but this is still exceeding my expectations
Kenzie: you expect a certain level of decency
IKM: Do you?
Kenzie: and I don't believe all in Hollywood are scumbags
DG: I think there’s gotta be more good people than bad, just the bad is so terrible
IKM: Maybe yall grew up differently than me
Kenzie: exactly DG
IKM: Cause male culture growing up...
Kenzie: growing up yes
Kenzie: but then you grow up
DG: some do
IKM: exactly
Kenzie: and you realize you were a scum bag
IKM: SOME
DG: but where does that example of the culture come from?
DG: you don’t just conjure this shit up
IKM: exactly
Port: Easy guys this is just locker room talk
(unamused)
DG: for example: I hadn’t seen blade runner in decades so I watched it this last week prior to seeing the new one… there is a scene where Harrison ford straight up rapes the replicant chick
IKM: Real shit, if you were to ask all the women you know if they have a sexual harassment, assault or straight up rape experience and they were to be truly honest with you, what percentage do you think would say "yes" to at least 1 of those three?
DG: but it was this scene that was probably thought of as an attractive and aggressive man keeping a woman from leaving when you know she wants to stay
DG: at least
Kenzie: their entire life?
Kenzie: I would say 75%
DG: revenge of the nerds the head nerd straight up rapes the hot girl
Kenzie: I am thinking about all of the shit I did as a teenager
IKM: Man DG I don't remember that
DG: he has a Darth Vader mask on I think? and screws her pretending to be her boyfriend
IKM: shiiiit
IKM: didn't even remember that
Kenzie: although that is rape it isn't what was considered rape back then
Port: 100% IKM
Kenzie: I want to hold out some hope Port
Kenzie: are we talking catcalls are sexual harassment also
IKM: Makes you really want to go back and think when you were younger like "Did I do some repugnant shit?"
Kenzie: I know I did
Port: This is coming from my small sample size but I've asked every one of my lady friends every one of them has at least one story
Port: From the light end to the awful end.
Port: I know for a fact I did
Kenzie: teenage boys are awful
Port: Can confirm
Kenzie: myself included
Kenzie: how many random asses did you grab on a dare from your friends
K Myers Jr.: I didn't do any of that cause I was an anti-social misfit.
IKM: And friends can't dare you to do shit when you're friends just as wack as you, lol
IKM: but who knows, I think I totally erased high school from my memory banks it was so wack, lol
Kenzie: yeah I try not to think about all the inappropriate things I did
Kenzie: all of the stupid statements I have made
Kenzie: and young Kenzie still wasn't as bad as others that I know
IKM: Oreilly, Affleck, Weinstein, Cosby, they are dinosaurs
IKM: world has changed
IKM: even from 10 years ago
IKM: that type of behavior is simply unacceptable
IKM: except if you're the president
Kenzie: but what about shit happening at new companies
DG: the google manifesto
Kenzie: isn't Uber going through shit
DG: yes it is
IKM: and I think 10 years ago we don't even hear about that
Kenzie: of course not
DG: definitely don’t because of no social media
DG: giving people public voices that never had them before
Kenzie: shit like that becomes standard practices
Kenzie: some women are coming out saying that co-workers kept her away from Harvey because they knew the deal
Kenzie: what are the chances that Harvey's brother knew what was going on
DG: 100%
IKM: of course he did
Kenzie: exactly
IKM: whole board knew
DG: scope and breadth, maybe not
DG: I picture one of those scenes where they are talking and a name comes up and brother goes “Jesus, Harvey”
DG: “but I had to make her watch me jerk off onto a plant”
Kenzie: You think Hugh Hefner was out here being a scumbag
Kenzie: he seems like he was in the perfect position to be one
IKM: I think Hugh set his shit up the proper way
IKM: Never heard of any harassment claims or anything on Hugh
Kenzie: Like Bill Burr said you just live too long
DG: I'm a pornographer and sexual exploiter of women… (y) aaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyeeeeeeeee (y)
IKM: Hugh was never a pornographer
Kenzie: it is called soft-core porn
DG: he was never a hard core pornographer
IKM: and whether or not what he did was sexually exploit women is up for argument
Kenzie: and he has a tv station dedicated to that
IKM: Exploitation is 1-way street
IKM: and porn has no artistic value
Schady: playboy was artistic?
IKM: so if his pictures have artistic merit they are not porn
Kenzie: didn't he get his hands on Marilyn Monroe skinny dipping pictures and published the pictures
Kenzie: he had an entire station that was not dedicated to art
IKM: from what I know about playboy
IKM: it was about doing tasteful nude pictures
DG: throwing money at someone who needs it to pose naked in your magazine so you can make more money is sexual exploitation
IKM: No it isn't
IKM: I need money. I get paid to program. Am I being intellectually exploited?
DG: but you would normally program, yes?
IKM: Yes
DG: i’m gonna go out and say not everyone that appeared in playboy would normally strip for money… some sure
Schady: yeah i dont think the girls doing nude photo shoots came out of school saying that is the career i need to be pursuing
Kenzie: http://www.npr.org/2017/10/01/554854492/marilyn-monroe-helped-hugh-hefner-but-not-by-choice
Kenzie: yeah he published those pictures without her permission
IKM: He woulda got sued out the ass today
IKM: suprised he didn't back then
IKM: or really I guess im not suprised
DG: if hugh ever sold being in a playboy as a way to jump start an acting career, or saying something like “i know people, do this for me…”… that’s exploiting
IKM: I can agree with that
Kenzie: i don't know
IKM: but there were plenty of women who appeared in playboy who did have acting careers
Kenzie: if he said sleep with me i know people than yes
DG: sure that happened too
DG: pose naked so i can sell magazines
IKM: I dont want to fall into the slippery judgement slope
DG: the man did it for decades, so i’m sure there’s a little bit of everything in his history
IKM: To me there is acceptable behavior and theres unacceptable. Paying women or men to be naked in your magazine? I honestly don't think anything is inherently wrong with that
IKM: As long as they weren't duped
IKM: as long as they know what they are getting themselves into
IKM: this is a free country, so do what you want
Port: Nah Hef came from that old school where quaaludes were like tic tacs
IKM: lol so you think hef was Lud'in em up?
Kenzie: i bet his playboy mansion parties where drug dens
Port: That's the era he me up in!
Port: I'm sure they were 'ludin in the grotto
IKM: if two people choose to take drugs and have sex while high that's not necessarily a problem
IKM: it's the Cosby, "I'll lude them in secret"
Port: Hmm that's where it gets tricky sir
Kenzie: but how many people were getting cosby'd up in that bitch
Port: Lot I'd say Kenzie.
Kenzie: yep
Kenzie: i doubt cosby invented the game
Port: Throughout the 70s and 80s. Prolly enough blow to build a snowman in the grotto
Kenzie: brotha from philly he didn't know how to get down like that
Kenzie: i bet they tried
Kenzie: Hef probably took Bill under his wing
Schady: i dunno i mean there is something to be said about attracting women to a place with piles of drugs and then them making even more poor decisions in an altered state of mind
Schady: obviously the women taking them intentionally are mostly to blame but it is very is enabling and promotes poor decisions
Kenzie: substitute drugs for alcohol and is it still wrong?
Schady: its still wrong but just gets a pass cuz its "socially acceptable"
Schady: alcohol gets a pass on so much shit
Kenzie: in those circles it was socially acceptable to do the same with copious amounts of illicit drugs
Schady: there are some differences
Schady: coke is much more physically addictive short term than say alcohol
Schady: so once some girl tries it once she could be doing some fucked up shit just to stay high
IKM: listen, if you go to the grotto you know what its about
IKM: if you're getting fucked up in the grotto it's with a purpose
Schady: maybe? You think it was always known to everyone
Schady: we say this after decades of tales of debauchery
IKM: two people go to a party and get drunk
IKM: they sleep with each other
IKM: is one a rapist?
IKM: I think we would say no
Port: We would
Schady: im not saying rapist
Port: Consent law not so much
Schady: but i am saying that having piles of drugs accessible to anyone that is around is somewhat exploitative
Schady: having spent plenty of time around people that like to get fucked up
IKM: isn't it the same as having a bunch of beer and alcohol?
Schady: like i said
Schady: some drugs are different
Schady: whats the joke in half baked? "I used to suck dick for coke.... ever suck dick for some marajuana?"
IKM: LOL
IKM: Its a weird line though
IKM: cause it says, "Ok men, it's ok for you to go out and get fucked up. Women? You have to stay sober."
IKM: If men can go out and get drunk and try to get laid, why can't women?
Kenzie: if that was your intention then go ahead
Port: You can but you gotta know as a guy that that could go left.
Kenzie: yes
Port: Honestly never thought about it till later in life but yeah whenever someone doesn't have their full mental capacity about themself
Kenzie: back in the day that was easy pickins
Port: You open yourself up. Because just being wasted isn't consent.
Kenzie: when that happens you have to get as drunk as them
IKM: I mean, I was wack so I don't know the answer to this question, but as a single dude, how many times are you having sex without the influence of alcohol?
Kenzie: if both are wasted then you are good
Port: More than I did not
Kenzie: if you are sober and she is wasted you could be in trouble
IKM: sober + wasted is bad for business unless the man is the one wasted
Port: Yes. If you are both wasted you still could be if she says I don't remember consenting to this.
Port: Correct IKM. If you're blasted then it's whatever.
Kenzie: what if you say i don't remember consenting to this
Kenzie: then the question is who has sex with who
Kenzie: DUN DUN DUN
Port: Then same rules apply
IKM: lol @ dun dun
IKM: See, this is why I don't drink
Kenzie: you can drink without getting wasted
Port: Jus nobody would give a shit about Kenzies story of being wasted then taken advantage of
IKM: so you gotta give breathalizer tests at the door Kenzie, lol?
Kenzie: i don't like not having my wits with me out in the street
IKM: "Aaaaaand now sign this release form..."
Port: I think you just gotta use your adult sensors
Kenzie: at home get as wasted as you want
Port: You can tell when someone is rippppppped
Kenzie: you can tell the signs of a drunk woman
IKM: you cant tell if you are drunk too
Kenzie: they get really touchy feely
Port: Like I was out one time and this chick was wasted. Slumped in a photo booth type thing in the bar
Kenzie: LOL
Kenzie: always makes me laugh
Port: And dudes were swarming
Kenzie: sloppy drunks
IKM: See Porter, you call her homegirl to come pick her up
Port: And I was like...this may end up bad
Kenzie: somebody is going to put their junk on her head and take a picture
Port: She had no friends around her
Kenzie: i know how that story goes
IKM: Came alone and got drunk?!?
Kenzie: seen it a thousand times
Port: She could barely talk we got her phone and the last missed call was her homies looking for her
Kenzie: first off no girl goes out alone
Kenzie: they will end up alone because apparently girls get lost easily
Port: She got out safe but the guys tryna engage in "conversation" KNEW she was trshed. An easy mark
Port: Correct
Kenzie: you got to stay away from that
IKM: Far
Kenzie: even if you know the girl
Kenzie: you have to know how fucked up they are because if they cross the deep end game over
Port: Nah man these days I feel like I do my part and get em an Uber or something
Kenzie: oh so you now mr captain save a hoe
Kenzie: lol
Kenzie: i just had to say it
IKM: That would be the last time I hang with such a girl
Port: Lmaooo
K Myers Jr.: If you can't handle your liqour you shouldn't be drinking
Port: Nah man just tryna break trip cycle of male shitiness
Port: I can't handle my liquor IKM BUT GUESS WHAT
Kenzie: but how does she learn not to get that drunk
[Kenzie: not saying she needs to get assualted to learn
Port: I dunno man I can't teach that lesson.
Kenzie: but i am a 6'2 250lb black man and i don't get that drunk
Kenzie: i have no fear of someone raping me and i know better
Port: Yeah I wouldn't want anyone to learn the lesson that way.
IKM: I tell you how such a person learns that lession: the next time she wants to go out her friends are like "uggggghhhh no. YOu can't handle your drinks."
IKM: done
Port: Or they smack drinks out of her hands
IKM: even better, lol
Kenzie: i have heard of stories of girl completly losing members of the group
Kenzie: that has never happened to me once
Kenzie: they can be horrible at watching each others backs
Port: Horrrrrible
] Port: That was the girl in the story we were like where TF are your friends?
Port: They left her at the spot because they couldn't find her slumped in the photo booth
Kenzie: granted i probably wouldn't look in the photo booth for you
Kenzie: we have the sense to passout in the bathroom
Kenzie: "PORTER YOU IN THAT STALL MAN"
Kenzie: wait i got seperated once when i got kicked out the club and my boy was still in there
Kenzie: he was looking for me and i was slumped outside
Kenzie: wasn't a good look for me
Port: Lmao Kenzie that has literally been me
Port: In the stall giving up all the body
Kenzie: i had friend say he had to use the bathroom and then 30 minutes later we was like where did he go
Kenzie: i go to the bathroom and that is where he was still at
Kenzie: said he just needed a rest
Kenzie: legs wouldn't get him back up
Kenzie: lol
IKM: lol
TS: http://money.cnn.com/2017/10/12/media/rose-mcgowan-harvey-weinstein/index.html
Kenzie: why was she banned from twitter?
TS: apparently she put someone’s personal phone number on there and it got her kicked off for a day
Kenzie: ok
TS: Bro, y’all had a real ass convo on here
TS: Gotta edit it but I definitely think this goes to the logs.
TS: @Kenzie, yeah, when I think about shit looking back, I thought I was a choir boy but shit. Definitely grabbed boobs and asses
Kenzie: same
TS: My twitter isn’t the worst BUT OH GOD IF I EVER GET FAMOUS, FIRST THING GOING IS FACEBOOK
[Kenzie: i thought i was just playing a part in the game that we all thought was cool
Kenzie: i grab your ass, you pretend like you didn't like it, rinse and repeat
TS: there was a time as teen that i tried to use porn logic… Grabbing turns them on...
TS: I was lied to
Kenzie: little did i know i was a habitual sex offender
Kenzie: never used that logic tre
IKM: On 10/13/17, at 11:58 AM, Kenzie wrote:
> little did i know i was a habitual sex offender
IKM: lol wut
Kenzie: by my sophmore year in highschool i stopped most of that shit
Kenzie: it was really around the ages of 12 - 15
TS: I remember and I think this kinda will haunt me. Wasn’t me but there was this girl in HS, ran for Ms Freshman. Beautiful, fun, great personality, everything. She was being her as usual, relaxing outside the JROTC building. I went to the shooting range, came back and she was in the bathroom BAWLING. Her brother runs in furious. asks where did he go and burst out the door.
TS: Dude, for whatever reason, decided to flip this girls skirt all the way up
TS: Asked me before that and I saw enough TV to think that wasn’t a big deal. TV lied to me
Kenzie: i remember in 7th grade a bunch of guys (myself included) was chasing this girl around the park so we could get her shirt wet
Kenzie: after about 5 minutes of this she got PISSED
Kenzie: turned around and lifted up her shirt and was like is this what you want to see
Kenzie: we all sat there with the dumb face on after that realizing we fucked up
Kenzie: she was legitmately pissed
Kenzie: i remember the girls name and everything
DG: yes... cool and funny wasn't cool nor funny
Kenzie: i still feel bad about that shit
DG: and no one ever told me otherwise
DG: that's the kicker
Kenzie: it was almost considered boys will be boys
DG: have to piece all that shit together yourself through age and experience
Kenzie: can't blame all that shit on hormones but it has to play a part
