For anyone wondering why trump suddenly wants a new Rush Hour movie:
The film was directed by Brett Ratner, the Rush Hour director who has largely been absent from Hollywood following sexual misconduct allegations made against him in 2017. More than a dozen photographs of Ratner with sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and unnamed women also surfaced in a tranche of documents from the Department of Justice on Friday.
While I think it’s the right thing to block out the faces of the women in all the Epstein photographs, I think it diminishes the impact they have. Without the victims faces in them it’s a lot easier for people to brush them off as “women” and for the media to push that narrative.

That use of “Women” to describe the girls he rape is fucking sickening.
Exactly, it’s subtle downplaying of what these people have done. “Women” implies that the victims were adults. Most of them were CHILDREN.
