This really isn't the right place to comment, but I was wondering about your thoughts on the whole Bill Cosby meme to-do.
Two thoughts.
1. I thought about Cosby when the Woody Allen thing flared up at the top of the year (he got an award, Diane Keaton spoke, Mia's daughter and Ronan Farrow tweeted - remember that?) There was a "you can't separate art from artist" thing that made (maybe still makes) Woody feel radioactive and I voiced that Cosby wasn't getting the same treatment and wondered why that was.
2. On the merits, I dunno. I feel similarly about Jameis Winston, allegations aren't convictions, and when those on the left treat them as they are I get queasy, even while understanding the challenge that convictions are hard to get. I'm neither standing and saying "all accused are guilty" nor saying "shut up about Bill Cosby" as no one is saying "shut up about Woody Allen."
Yeah I was responding to that comment: at the time I was wondering if it was as simple as you just being a Woody fan and going on the defensive for him. I have heard/read a few people go "Shut up about Woody Allen", and to be honest, my pathological hatred of the man goes beyond me not liking the movies. Still, the DA in charge of that case threw it out before going to trial despite the rather damning evidence.
