So...

[(Anonymous)]

What do all of you think about the whole Martin Freeman thing?

Re: So...

[(Anonymous)]

What Martin Freeman thing? Is somebody dredging up old, out of context articles again?

Re: So...

[(Anonymous)]

He made some casual tasteless date-rapey comments in a recent Hobbit press interview, including mentioning that some people would find it rapey but he doesn't think it is. Uh, it is.

Re: So...

[fingalsanteater]

Something about him being a horribly racist, sexist, privileged CIS white person. I don't really know, I don't pay attention to stuff about actors.

Re: So...

[vethica]

He made a joke in an interview about date-raping elves.

Re: So...

[(Anonymous)]

Are you afraid of context? How does context feel? Did context abuse your context-free dog?

Re: So...

[(Anonymous)]

Is this about the rape joke thing?

If this is in regards to the joke,

[kaijinscendre]

I don't care. It was a stupid joke that has no affect on the real world. At all.

Do I think Freeman is a rapist? No, and anyone who does based on this joke is an idiot.

Do I think someone is going to hear that joke and rape someone? No. And honestly, more people have probably seen it on Tumblr than on the actual show it was on (less than 6 million people in Denmark).

Do I think it was a stupid joke? Yes, it wasn't even funny.

I don't think Martin Freeman is a terrible person. I think he is someone who can put his foot in his mouth because he doesn't think about something before he says it.

Re: If this is in regards to the joke,

[(Anonymous)]

Has not EFFECT. Affect is a verb, you can remember it by the a standing for "action".

Re: If this is in regards to the joke,

[badass_tiger]

What exactly did he say?

And yeah I agree about him. I don't particularly like him myself but he's definitely not the devil incarnate or whatever

Re: If this is in regards to the joke,

[(Anonymous)]

I don't care. It was a stupid joke that has no affect on the real world. At all.

Well...couldn't you say that about any rape joke? The fact that people continue to make rape jokes desensitizes people to sexual assault. That does have an effect on the real world. People have a right to be offended by Freeman.

In any case, I don't care that much because I'm not all that surprised. He doesn't strike me as a particularly smart person.

Re: If this is in regards to the joke,

[(Anonymous)]

Holy shit. fuck you to death you awful fuck!

Re: So...

[(Anonymous)]

I think he lacks a filter, but seems like he'd be pretty fun to hang around with. Also not very good as Bilbo. :/

Re: So...

[(Anonymous)]

Pretty fun to hang around with, just don't leave your drink unattended near him.

Re: So...

[(Anonymous)]

but seems like he'd be pretty fun to hang around with if you're not a woman

ftfy

Re: So...

[(Anonymous)]

It was creepy and stupid and my end thought is that he's not a very cool person and I'd avoid him IRL.

Re: So...

[sarillia]

I think his joke was creepy and unfunny and I am against rape jokes in general. I also like his Bilbo and think he seems fairly cool otherwise. Now can everyone on both the pro- and anti-sides remember that these are not incompatible statements?

I'm more annoyed at the people going "who cares" though.

Re: So...

[(Anonymous)]

I think my point of view is, yep, it was a shitty, dumb joke. Where do we go from there? What else are we supposed to do? I think that's the sense in which I would say 'who cares' - yes it was shitty, but once we've acknowledged that, what else is there?

Re: So...

[nan]

SO much agreement for your last sentence. Obviously some people care. And the fact that he immediately did an air quote around rape made my skin crawl. But I do like his Bilbo and I'll keep watching The Hobbit so.

Basically I agree with this whole comment.

Re: So...

[(Anonymous)]

He should take his own advice and stop talking. I'm not especially appalled or anything, I know lots of people like that IRL. Dumbasses.

Re: So...

[(Anonymous)]

He's always seemed a bit of an asshole to me, so it's really not shocking that he would find rape jokes funny or the type to use finger quotes about "rape". Just basically backed up my opinions really. Doesn't change anything. Though I do separate the person from the acting, and I've enjoyed him in a few films.

Re: So...

[(Anonymous)]

I snickered at the joke and don't really care one way or another.

Re: So...

[(Anonymous)]

i will snicker at your funeral

Re: So...

[(Anonymous)]

I grinned, too.

as concerned as I am about elves being date-raped.

Re: So...

[(Anonymous)]

He was great as Bilbo! I just didn't care for the rest of the movie.
