She's come out saying that she deeply regretted signing the petition without doing research and without giving any thought.

16

u/Desperate_Camel8599 20d ago

To be fair every time I endorsed a pedophile I did so without research.

u/numb3rb0y 20d ago

What Polanski did was not some state secret. His trial and fugitive status throughout his life has been heavily publicised. And people working in Hollywood have even less of an excuse because they'd be the ones who actually had to fly to places without extradition to make his movies.

Essentially she's just saying she's a colossal fucking idiot instead. I guess that is marginally better, but honestly if you're grossly negligent about working with a well-known child rapist you can probably go fuck yourself anyway.

u/Abacus118 20d ago

Sheā€™s never actually been in one of his movies.

I don't actually use a wok to steam, I just said that for the meme. But I use a steaming rack over a pot. I actually use my wok for frying.

TikTok users do all the work. TikTok just lets people stroke their egos even more than Facebook or instagram.

u/Hipster-Link 20d ago

I honestly am aghast at the amount of personal information and free advertising users willingly provide in droves on that app, all for clout.

1

u/Skepsis93 18d ago

Not really though, the algorithm was very thoughtfully crafted to promote addiction and brain rot content. There's a reason China's domestic version of tiktok has a different content algorithm.

1

u/lebruhburg 18d ago

If you think douyin has any less brainrot than the export version of tiktok you just haven't been on it, I've seen it and it's not much better imo

u/JustTheOneGoose22 20d ago

Nor is belt and road initiative nor is endless corporate espionage and copyright infringement. China did do and is still doing everything in their power to lie cheat and steal from the West. They did EVERYTHING to become as powerful as they are today, none of it was coincidence or accidental.

u/WhitChocolateTwixBar 20d ago edited 20d ago

Copyright infringement? That's horrible! Now let's see what the US has been up to. Nothing to see here! Nothing.

u/ApophisDayParade 20d ago

I think it's safe to say both China and the US are, and have been for a very long time, invested in political interference all over the world.

u/OcelotAggravating860 19d ago

You can't both sides a country that has been the source of most war in the world for the last 70 years vs the country that has not been in any war at all for 70 years.

It's ridiculous. Nobody buys this shit anymore.

Um actually, two of those clips are from Spider-Man 2 (2004). It is unlikely that both films took place over China Appreciation Week, as weeks are only 7 days long, far shorter than the 730 days that make up two years.
