Well I guess he gets points for taking his hands off of women's asses for long enough to hold them up and apologise.

I think if Alan Arkin or other higher-ups know about this and tried to stop him, they should make statements. I don't think Freeman should be outcast because of this -- it is a pattern of creepy remarks, but so long as he shuts his damn mouth and acts professionally, I don't give a hoot -- but I do think that people should come out and say that yes, they did see this, and no, they will not let it happen again if they do.
Even if this man is your friend, you owe it to the women he's harassing, and to Morgan Freeman himself, to let him know what you will stand for.

I don't think Freeman should be outcast because of this -- it is a pattern of creepy remarks, but so long as he shuts his damn mouth and acts professionally, I don't give a hoot I'd hesitate to shrug off the kind of sexual harassment these women are describing as "a pattern of creepy remarks". That's the kind of attitude that has protected this culture of pervasive sexual harassment that hundreds of victims have been describing since last year, and it doesn't at all reflect the kind of hardline zero-tolerance approach we need to have in order to ensure gender equality in the film industry. It's not a pattern of creepy remarks. Call it what it is: sexual harassment.As for the future of Freeman's career, I wouldn't give a damn as long as he keeps his mouth shut like you said, but I also would understand why some people would not want to be associated with him or give him a fat paycheck. I'd totally respect that response to the situation. When you act like an ass, don't be surprised if there are repercussions.

I honestly think that a lot of the atmosphere around the outing of these harassers has become a circus, and that colored my thinking somewhat. I absolutely believe that Morgan Freeman should be held accountable for his actions, but it's the mindset of killing the man's career because that is the socially acceptable thing to do (the Woody Allen scenario) that gives me pause.

And "hardline zero tolerance" is fascist nonsensical SJW language that doesn't reflect the opinions of all or even a majority. Hardline should be for REAL cases, like Weinstein or Spacey etc, NOT for b.s. like this or Franken or Tambor. Freeman is a national treasure, he does NOT deserve to go away for this.

And "hardline zero tolerance" is fascist nonsensical SJW language that doesn't reflect the opinions of all or even a majority. Freeman is a national treasure, his career shouldn't be damaged AT ALL. Except what he's accused of is sexual harassment and would be considered such by any HR department in any workplace, and it's the sort of thing that could (and should) get your ass fired. Regardless of Freeman's talent, it's still unacceptable behavior in and out of the workplace, and if it is true, he should be taken to task for it.

If he is indeed guilty of it, it's simple: don't hire him anymore. If the accusers want to press charges, let them. The reason that Hollywood is so rampant with these stories is because nothing is ever really done about the accusations, which emboldens people to continue doing what they do. If Freeman did indeed harass these women, there's no excuse for it. You can't say the man was "from a different era" because a.) it was still harassment back then, and b.) he works so consistently now and should know that the things he views as "harmless" aren't. If SAG/AFTRA want to strip him of his Lifetime Achievement Award, fine. It's their party, and it's their honor. But with that said, if they do decide to do it, I hope it's based off of investigation and some substantial evidence, rather than simply being reactionary. These are serious allegations, which necessitate serious evaluation, and if they hold water, they deserve serious repercussions.

Totally disagree and, whether you like it or not, I think there's very slim chance that it is.

Totally disagree and, whether you like it or not, I think there's very slim chance that it is. If he's guilty of it, there needs to be some punishment, and if people decide not to employ him, well, there you go. It's not like he's gonna starve if he doesn't get hired anymore. I think he's a talented actor (shitty Oscar win aside), but talent does not excuse being a creep. I doubt his career will suffer too harshly as it is, but he shouldn't be let off with a slap on the wrist either.
