It’s quite idiotic how many people need to come forward before action needs to be taken or for claims from victims to be taken seriously

No, but I’d make sure one happened! Not doing anything is complicity, so if you don’t want a certain result, then don’t keep doing the thing that gets that result. Try something else.
I like his older stuff, too. (That said, ‘Deconstructing Harry’ is worth a look; everybody takes potshots at him!)
"I believe my sister. This was always true as a brother who trusted her, and, even at 5 years old, was troubled by our father’s strange behavior around her: climbing into her bed in the middle of the night, forcing her to suck his thumb — behavior that had prompted him to enter into therapy focused on his inappropriate conduct with children prior to the allegations.
But more importantly, I’ve approached the case as an attorney and a reporter, and found her allegations to be credible. The facts are persuasive and well documented. I won’t list them again here, but most have been meticulously reported by journalist Maureen Orth in Vanity Fair. The only final legal disposition is a custody ruling that found Woody Allen’s behavior “grossly inappropriate” and stressed that “measures must be taken to protect [Dylan].”

how young she looks is very much of secondary importance to how young she is.
right, and you think prosecuting or litigating them in court is the ideal way to lessen their power? because i think those tools are useless against them.

I was gonna tell a pedophile joke on this theme - but decided that BoingBoing was no place for pedophile jokes.
Yeeeeeah.
Most places aren’t. And by ‘most’, I mean everywhere but 8chan. Maybe you should go there instead.

Taking a stand against that complicity is exactly what Dylan Farrow and others are asking of people in regards to Woody Allen.

As it should be. But you asked what people should do, so I responded with the obvious.
Well she was 21 not 16, the same age as Mia Farrow when she married a 50yr old Frank Sinatra.
Seven people have come forward with sexual misconduct allegations? Do you have any links? Can’t seem to find any myself.
Funny you should say that. Tried them. They didnt like it - said it was tasteless and that I should try here.
Well of course they’d tell you that, silly. They’re trolls.

I’m against an ad hoc system being the primary form of justice we use.

trolley
One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument
I didnt think I was driving trollies. I can see you did. Apologies for giving that impression.
My sense of humor does take in bad taste jokes. Is it ok if I stay here or do I have to go to 8chan?
Humor is not allowed here. As soon as it is displayed, that is the signal to the proletariat to get the outrage sticks and start your beating.
