OP

(Anonymous) 2018-02-08 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
I guess it's just that I'm *surprised* by some of them, because some (like Streep, who supports #MeToo, and GDT, who often deals with themes of victimized people empowering themselves and fighting oppression in his films) genuinely appeared to have a better grasp of social issues and the necessity of fighting that kind of behavior, especially these days.

I just struggle to understand that the man who made a powerful, heartfelt work about a disabled woman, a gay man and a woman of color fighting oppression in human and societal forms, a man whose work has been a source of personal strength for me, defended a child rapist, and why he could or would do so.

People like Tarantino I wasn't surprised by. The above two I genuinely was, because they seemed to be on the right side with those issues, at least these days.

So I guess I'm let down. Part of me hopes at least some of the people who signed it (including Streep and GDT) realized they made a mistake at some point, although looking into that might disappoint me further.
