        Don’t really need an investigation to know that Michael Bay is a sex pest, I’m pretty sure that one’s actually all the way out there.

          I haven’t exactly found Bay to be all that interesting of a person to follow closely, but he wasn’t the sole creative person on that movie.

            He was the driving force of the entire franchise. The whole thing was his creation. His Creative Vision. Chose the writers chose the actors chose everything, as well as obviously directing it. If there’s a scene in that film it’s cuz he wants it there have no doubts about that.

            He’s also a known sex past as I said. Kind of odd that you leaped to his defense…

              That’s not what “leaping to his defense” looks like. There’s a whole chain of people in the decision to have that subplot line. They all should be scrutinized.

              Also, downvotes don’t mean anything here.

          It’s a side effect of the commercialization of art.

          Artists that don’t offend anyone sell better and selling as much as possible has become all that matters to all the people who enable artists to continue making art and experience more tangible and real forms of artistic success

          Eventually everyone internalized it all so much that it’s a common misconception that every artist has a duty to be as commercial as possible and as such to be a role model. But only in ways that doesn’t offend anyone who’s in the target demographics.

          It sucks big floppy donkey dick, but that’s how the boring dystopia that is the real world works 😮‍💨

        Yeah, that’s completely true. It’s up to each person to decide what their standards are and where they draw the line. Like Roman Polanski anally raping a 13 year old and using his money and fame to leave the country and avoid the prison time may be across one person’s line while another person says, “Eh, what can you do? It was almost 50 years ago.” Also true, but that piece of shit is still alive and making money–from people who like his work at least enough to keep consuming it.

          Yeah you’re on the ball. You got to draw lines somewhere. I’m not going to listen to a band whose bit is to run over baby rabbits with a lawn mower on stage. If you’re just a general fuck stick, though I’m more willing to accept that to a degree

      or arguably more annoying - time to pretend me not liking that person’s work was always justified!

      as if people weren’t allowed to dislike things unless it was somehow morally justified
