How does this man still have a career, we've known he is a predator for so long. Like decades at least.

You're confused on why a sexual predator is still working in an industry famously run by sexual predators?

[–] lyralycan@sh.itjust.works 29 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

And spearheaded in a country that famously keeps and defends sexual predators in positions of power?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the USA was a mistake

I think he's a repulsive person, but in my opinion he's been electric in several roles, like Requiem and Panic Room.

He’s got to be one of them that traffics or supplies women to the rest.

More importantly, he's box office poison.

Which really does lend credibility to the idea that he either has some Epstein-style blackmail on some influential people in Hollywood and/or he's still providing them with unsavory, or illegal, experiences.

Yea something is up.

He peaked as Jordan Catalano in My So-Called Life, an intellectually stunted, emotionally empty symbol of naive adolescent desire. For some reason, he was really able to sink into that role.

Like most predators. Everyone knows for decades and hardly anyone does anything about it. The ones who speak up are called sluts, liars, clout-seekers, attention whores, etc.

Ask Hollywood why they cover for perverts

With him and Russell Brand looking so much alike, I can't help but feel that the look is a giveaway sign.
