tw: rape apologism in the think progress piece
"I’ve never given Roman Polanski any of my money, even though I think he’s unlikely to commit sexual assault again, because I have no interested in financing his ongoing mockery of the American justice system"
Oh, okay. Because drugging and sodomizing one fourteen year old is exactly the kind of thing guys do only once. And Polanski never, ever was involved with anyone while they were suspiciously young. Natasha Kinski? Who's that? And his wife being 30+ years younger? Nope, not relevant at all. Polanski just assaulted one person; he's not a predator.
Fuck that logic. If you want to make the comparison to Polanski, don't give him a pass. He and Card have both tangibly harmed people. Whether or not you think Polanski only "assaulted" someone once is goddamn irrelevant and completely minimizes what that fucker actually did.
