SO I was down with Rose McGowan’s one-woman crusade against Hollywood’s hypocritical sexscapades, but now I think she’s making a turn for the extreme.
Here’s what happened.
James Corden made a bunch of pretty bad jokes about Harvey Weinstein at an awards show:
James Corden kicked off AmFar Gala by joking about Harvey Weinstein’s sexual assault allegations.

Now… maybe they weren’t funny enough, but people are ripping into him for even joking about it.
And McGowan is really really angry about it:
YOU MOTHERFUCKING PIGLET https://t.co/UU9LitO9zJ

2) Hearing the audience’s vile roars & laughs show EXACTLY what kind of HOLLYWOOD you really are. https://t.co/HBqNxnpr7N

But I mean, the jokes are at Weinstein’s expense. Can they not joke at all then? I guess not.
3) @CBS DONATE TO @ELAWC OR YOU TOO SUPPORT RAPE CULTURE #fuckjamescorden

I just don’t see the big deal. The point before is that no one was talking about it, everyone was covering it up. You know how you break silence? BY TALKING ABOUT IT. And it’s not like Corden’s jokes were dismissive, they were mocking Weinstein.
Ah well. The outrage always wins on Twitter….
