Her acting isn't the thing that makes her so fucking awesome, though.

The point now is awareness. The point now is how to shift and transform this culture moving forward. The point is that silence is damaging and needs to end.

I get that, but at the same i cant help to think i dont really care about Polley or Paltrow or Fonda....I prefer to hear about Rose McGowan or Asia Argento has to say about it. They are the ones who have been dealing with this for years and didnt shut up...they other ones played ball with the industry for so long..its kinda weird to hear their stories.

Know what i mean?

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

That's all pretty nebulous, to be fair. It might be a whole lot of nothing, though some people talk about it being "an open secret" in the comedy world like the Weinstein thing was "an open secret" in Hollywood. At least there's little enough information that we can all talk ourselves out of feeling bad for liking his stuff until more damning info comes out.
