      Yeah. I don’t think he’ll win a lot of people over, but at least he’s showing that even he has something resembling standards.

      Is it? I doubt Subway’s Jared Fogle was ever with Epstein, but I don’t really need Jared’s opinion on Epstein.

        I think he wants it released so he can say “see? I’m not in there, no I’m not one of them like you thought” and hope people will forget that pedophilia can happen outside of that island.

          Oh I agree with your assessment, but its completely self serving on Spacey’s part. He doesn’t actually care about what happened to the Epstein victims. He’s just using this as an opportunity to say “See? I’m not as bad as them. I’m on your side. Look how much they suck. See how much we have in common?”

      Idk.

      Tbh, I thought so as well. Then I was like… “wait, what did he actually do?”

      People also ask

      What did Kevin Spacey actually do?

      In 2017, Spacey faced several allegations of sexual misconduct. In 2018 and 2019, Spacey faced multiple criminal investigations; however, in each case Spacey was either not charged or the charges against him were dropped. He has denied the accusations and was found not liable in a 2022 lawsuit in New York

      I’m not saying he’s not a gropey bastard or something, but the facts seem to say he’s not convicted of any sexual mosbehaviour and idk if the accusations ever included anything super serious. There’s a ton of fucking allegations, so he’s most likely very much into younger guys, but I don’t know if I’d say “kids.”

      So idk, when people this questionable start having the moral high ground on the president of the US, shit’s bad. Is my opinion.

        I heard a twitch streamer say he lived close to spacey and it was basically an open secret that he had done some fucked up stuff.

        I think nothing was ever proven in court but there’s very strong inferences to be drawn in at least one case where there was most likely sexual assault of an underage boy in his car by him. No sources though because I keep falling down rabbit holes.

          Oh he’s definitely done some fucked up shit, but I don’t know how rapey or illegal the fucked up shit he did was.

          Like “sexual assault” is a pretty wide term. Genuinely, zero bs, depending on how you define sexual assault, I was sexually assaulted like dozens of times as a taxi driver, but none of it ever went further than putting a hand near my groin, which they then stopped once I firmly removed it.

          But still. That would count.

          I’m pretty sure Kevin Spacey has done way more horrid shit than that but you know.

            Yeah it’s all blurry, but I think there was something about forcing the box to give him a blowjob or something.

            Also I’m sorry to hear so many people were assholes to you.

              I wouldn’t say assholes.

              It was pretty polite sexual harassment. Some more creepy than others. Like older men offering me money to suck my dick, putting their hand on my thigh? Nah. Older men talking about jerking off? Nah. Older women going on an on about how they want to fuck me? Eh, not horrible, although I wouldn’t have fucked those leathery hags. And then the rarest, like two actually young, good looking girls, inviting me to come over to swim with them. I don’t know I’d call that sexual harassment, but what’s the difference in them proposing shit and the hags doing so, except I wanted to fuck the pretty girls?

              Too bad I had a pretty strict boss and he would’ve definitely been curious as to why I stopped my shift and hour an a half early. I so wish it would’ve been the last ride. Also, not the only fuckable one to offer that. I once even took payment like that, but I thought she looked better before I saw her getting out of the car, as I was driving a minivan and didn’t properly see her in the back. Still got 20 bucks on top of the fuck though. And she was a mean fuck. Like, pretty horrid looking, but damn she fucked good.

        As some sort of defence, immeduately after the allegations came out, he also said something like “I now choose to live as a gay man” as if that shit was a choice. Idgaf what his sexuality is but don’t give more power to the people that say that gay people are 1) groomers and 2) making a choice.

        Also, acting as if the worst thing that came from the allegations was him being outed rather than him being an alleged sexual assaulter.

          He didn’t seem to understand the difference between being gay and being an… whichever the right class of non-pedophile phebophile was again.

          Like “well, I just love teenage boys, but being gay is normal, right”

          “No, Kevin, loving teenage boys is normal when you’re a teenage boy, but when you’re a grown man and you still don’t fancy adult men, but teenage boys, you’re not just gay, you’re also a creep.”

        I’m just questioning what value he’d find in a Twitter account these days. Unless he’s doing a full-court PR press to rehabilitate his image, seems anything public facing is more harm than good.

        My understanding was that he was at least inappropriate with a minor, but he was like 17ish? Maybe 16? I don’t remember any of the details or how that panned out though.

          You’ve a corrupted digit in that memory file.

          Ugh… I mean… you may be misremembering that somewhat. He was apparently pretty strongly hitting on a 14-year old when he was 27.

          Now I know some people are still pretty immature at 27, and I know a bunch of less than prudish girls who were with 30-year old guys when they were 15-16, and while I sort of biologically understand it, I don’t understand wtf is going on in the head of the ~30-year old, psychologically.

          I started driving a taxi when I was 18 (I had the training but technically you need to be 19.5 for the permit even though I had a license, it was my dad’s taxi) and the amount of older men who are into teenage boys was… surprising, to say the least.

          Not that two (or a dozen) wrongs make a right. I’m just commenting with my own experiences.
