Out of the loop here. He is a cultist and anti-union?
He has had some trouble with SAG in the past, I dunno about the cult thing. He’s not a Scientologist.
He's part of the Christian sect of the sick and demented Yahweh cult that's been terrorising the world for well over a thousand years.
Oh that cult… I mean, just call him a religious freak and it won’t confuse people.
Tip of the day:
If the founder is still alive, it's a sect
If the founder is dead, it's a religion
Both suck, and followers of either are dumb
I always thought of this way:
If a group start worshipping a specific god from the pantheon of an established religion exclusively, they're a cult (in this case the cult of Yahweh, the old ass storm god), when the cult eventually splinters, they're sects (Christianity, Islam, Judaism etc.). Don't think the status of founders has anything to do with it.
That's incorrect though. Catholics, Protestants, Methodists, etc are sects of Christianity, the broader body of the religion. Judaism and Islam are their own religions (albeit Abrahamic in origin), with Sunni/Shia being sects of Islam for example.
I mean Scientology also calls itself a religion. What makes Judaism, Islam and Christianity their own religions? They all worshlp the same old god, and all absorbed local culture wherever these disgusting people spread to build their myths.
That's a good question but there's a lot of mythos behind it that I'd have to write a paper for.
An easy example is that Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of Christianity and worshipped as God's incarnation on Earth. Muslims and Jews categorically refute this in its entirety, meaning the only thing they share is the Abrahamic god.
Donald Glover tried to tell us.
Boondocks too
Eh?
In the episode, Van takes Lottie to accompany her to a TV studio run by a private and mysterious person known as "Mr. Chocolate" (who is played by Glover). When Mr. Chocolate takes an interest in using Lottie for more productions, Van sets out to prevent her daughter from being exploited.
[…]
Critics and viewers analyzed the episode's parody of Tyler Perry, who served as the basis for Mr. Chocolate.
it's pretty much...90% of all US media, going back like 100 years atleast
The guy that commissions giant RC airplanes and flies them around on YouTube at his mansion in Georgia? That Tyler Perry?
Anyone that tries as hard as him to have a squeaky clean family friendly image is sus to me. Bill Cosby is another great example.
I had a feeling his ass was bad news
I fucking knew his ass was evil. Just a bad-vibe having kinda guy
The fuck, seriously?
Not to be that nongendered person but 77 million for sexual assault? It's it 90% punitive damages?
If they’re an actor who can no longer act as a result of trauma, it could be partly lost wages.
It's standard practice for lawsuits to initially ask for a lot in the hopes that the defendant settles for a fraction of the initial lawsuit... then the lawyers will take a big chunk after that.
I don’t understand why this isn’t in criminal court. It does feel like a cash grab.
Also innocent until proven guilty guys…I’m not a fan of his movies and maybe he’s had some union issues before but that doesn’t automatically make him a sexual deviant.
The state could separately bring criminal charges. Also, the standard in civil court is preponderance of evidence (more likely than not) rather than beyond a reasonable doubt. It's much easier to meet that in civil court, especially for sexual assault.
Plus a high profile civil case is more likely to get in the news and actually Kickstart criminal investigations.
