It makes me feel more confident about all the other sexual harassment/abuse/rape cases in the #MeToo movement that women have come to the defense of Aziz Ansari. A woman calling herself "Grace" apparently had a bad date with him. He was more into sex that evening than she was, but she didn't just tell him and didn't just leave. She was a photographer by trade. He had no power over her and he didn't threaten her. At least that's the defense made for Ansari. I don't know if they're right.
I did think that this was the case with George Takei. He had no power and shouldn't have been included in this. Playing Mr Sulu on Star Trek didn't give him power to destroy anyone's career.
Max Landis, on the other hand---we don't actually know what, if anything, he's accused of, but if he's not powerful in Hollywood his father is. That's the case with James Franco, too, exploiting students trying to start careers as actors.

My impression is that James Franco has an image of himself as a good liberal only because he doesn't mind having a gay following. Beyond that, you can look at the crap in his terrible "novel". He's a horrible person and not terribly bright. He has no clue what a bad writer he is. It raises serious doubts about every other supposedly intellectual celebrity, although Brooke Shields getting into Princeton blew the lid off that a long time ago. How smart is Ronan Farrow really? How smart is Woody Allen for that matter?
