Roman Polanski.

Tarantino basically tried to say it wasn’t rape because the child consented to it, ignoring that children cannot consent to sex, and that Polanski gave the kid drugs beforehand, even further removing their already non-existent ability to consent.

Man... My ability to separate art from artists is being worn down every day. Kanye, Drake, Tom Hanks, R Kelly (just for Ignition), and now QT. Why couldn't he just stay a foot addicted, N-word loving guy? For as funny as the first thing is and as bad as the second thing is, I could at least excuse them in my mind for Basterds and Django, but OF COURSE he had to part of the Hollywood child predator scum circles.

Iirc there’s rumors that he went to Epstein’s island. But afaik there’s no solid proof for it.

Sorry for the late response, but yeah pretty much this. I heard some stuff about his name among others being on the list. Also, his disgusted reaction to Ricky Gervais' jokes about Epstein during the Golden Globe awards (every year is an amazing watch btw, there are tons of compilations) doesn't exactly argue against it, you know?

Interestingly, its been multiple women who have come out against Polanski as having been raped by him. He really only gets cited for the main one, where he did admit to 'unlawful intercourse' or something like that.
