No Matter What, Bryan Singer is Guilty
Even if Bryan Singer is innocent of rape, he and his Hollywood cohorts should still be subjected to shame and ridicule.
To the movie-viewing public, Singer is known as the director/producer of blockbuster films such as the X-Men series, Superman Returns, and Valkyrie. To anybody who knows anything about Hollywood society, as I learned in about five minutes of Googling, Singer is known as a host of regular bacchanalias for young male aspiring actors and models.
Here's where everybody agrees: These parties are a sexual cornucopia for Singer and other powerful Hollywood figures. In 2009, the website Queerty published what one imagines are the most tasteful photos of a Singer party (at the infamous estate of blockbuster director/producer Roland Emmerich), along with some brief, fawning commentary. Here's the most unfortunate line, given the present rape lawsuit against Singer: "And sorry, no photos of the after-after party (which generally has a clothing-optional policy), nor do we have pictures from what happened when Roland and Bryan took a few select young men into the house for private casting sessions."
In Queerty's now very shocked reporting on the Singer lawsuit, they actually quote that line - but they drop the bit apologizing for a lack of photos. What was harmless fun has become very dark; we have to put on our serious faces now.
But was it ever harmless? Can Queerty - and our sexual culture at large - seamlessly transition from cheerleader to prosecutor?Also read: Bryan Singer's Accuser Names Three More Alleged Sex Abusers
