No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Because I didn't claim it was "untouched". Of course it was. He had to hide in Europe and was somehow controversial. As I explained in the previous comment, you think that what happened to him was adequate punishment for raping a child and I don't. This is were we disagree. I think that a different person, even different celebrity, would end in prison and have trouble working in the industry at all. You think that... I don't really know. That Polanski wasn't protected by his fame? That any other person would also face similar troubles and continue their careers, get awards, be rich? Because..

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Collins - In 2014, his career came to an end after he confessed to sexual abuse against multiple minors.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Salva - Coppola's protégé. Prison, hiatus and protests over his later movies
No to mention Me Too that completely ended careers of many people. Yes, Polanski raped that girl in the 80s but to this day he's well respected and defended by many people. In my opinion he got away with it. That was my whole point. Some people do get away with terrible crimes, other get cancelled over minor things. Winona Ryder had serious issues working because of shoplifting...
