Everybody Stop and Watch This: More on Roman Polanski

I think Mamapop's own Snarky Amber wrote beautifully on the Roman Polanski case, and I could never, nor would I attempt to, say it better. 

But really, in case anyone still isn't sure why this was rape, or why we should care about it, watch the video after the jump.

It's about time somebody pointed out what's really going on here. Rape and abuse mustn't be swept under the rug.

Every video I've seen by this man makes me want to have him in my life. He speaks so eloquently and passionately and says much of what I am thinking. Gah. So good.

Finally something that makes me feel a little better. Why exactly, I'm not sure. Maybe because it's a the first time I've seen a guy saying it? Maybe because it's in video rather than text? Why did this make me feel better when so many other articles and posts just made me angrier? Maybe it's just that there has been enough time that I'm able to feel something other than exceedingly pissed off.

Thank you, Jodifur!

Good thing I no longer have the patience to sit through movies. As this man said - I won't be going anymore.

To echo Katherine: Yes.

[Nona]

Wow. This dude is on his game.

I still don't understand the argument that this wasn't "rape, rape". I mean, can somebody explain that and back it up for me in a way that makes sense? It sounds exactly like "rape, rape". Regardless of the girl's age...

I have long touted Jay Smooth as my vlogger boyfriend. I adore him. The end.
