I loved May December but it’s missing the point for the discourse to be “how much control should biopic subjects have?” This is a conversation about whether a movie—about exploiting an already-exploited person for a movie—is exploitative. That’s a more unique & nuanced situation!

Decriminalizing sex work & pushing for workers’ rights shouldn’t be conflated with declaring entitlement to sex. Many of the despondent men you talk about earlier in this thread already feel they have a right to sex—it’s what makes them so dangerous, including to sex workers.
We should be moving toward a right to sex. People should be able to have sex when they feel they want to, and we need to develop services that meet people’s needs without attaching the baggage of shame or criminalization.
So let’s talk about sex.

There is no way to try assault in the perfectly sterile "objective" environment the legal system pretends to aspire to when so many people believe sexual abuse is deserved or not real or just wholly unimportant. And the court absolutely knows that.
The New York court of appeals that has overturned Harvey Weinstein’s felony conviction says that too many women were allowed to say he had assaulted them.

There's absolutely an incentive for studios to elevate mediocre work by minority creators. When it gets a tepid response, studios can blame it on the market "not being ready" & safely avoid elevating more incisive, potentially game-changing work by minority artists in the future.

This is why the argument against AI art shouldn’t be “it’s bad.” I mean yeah it’s obv laughably bad. But that incentives them to prove it can be good, when the real point is that we should be building a world for people, where people make things, bc that’s what it is to be alive.
So what’s the plan here? No news, journalism, criticism, or human-made art? That’s the utopia?
