Let's please avoid turning this into an all-encompassing thread for this stuff. Mostly because these are individual stories affected by individual people in wildly different situations so lumping it all together just isn't respectful.

I find it delightfully hypocritical that Takei- who is often intersecting himself as the designated SJW for stuff - is suddenly outed as one of the jerks he so often whines about

Is all right to make a separate thread for each new case that comes out?

Alot of them seem to have Skeleton hiding in the closet and using those as a cover. The downfall of NeoGaf is a good example of this.

I think you're getting dangerously close to politicizing this situation. Can you explain me why because I don't see anything wrong with my post or how it political? When people start harping on Takei and NeoGaf having "SJW" viewpoints, it really comes off like taking pleasure in this news because one doesn't agree with their stances. And I just don't see how that's important to the discussion here. No "side" possesses a monopoly on inappropriate conduct, it's a problem across the board. Also, I'm not using any sort of authority or rulings here. This is just my opinion as a poster and a person. If the allegations are true, he should be held accountable for them. His stances aren't relevant to the matter, and I'd say the same regardless if I agreed with him on certain things or not. Basically, what I'm saying is: if a person who commits a reprehensible act has spoken up in favor of good causes in the past, the act they committed taints them as a person, but it shouldn't dilute or discredit the causes they fought for by association. The inverse is true as well- if someone who is known for positive, charitable acts in the past or has brought joy to many people over time were to say something hateful, bigoted or just patently false, think that person's remarks can be fairly criticized while still acknowledging the good things they've done. I hope that makes sense and doesn't come off like rambling, but I can't make my point more succinct than that.

I remember reading rumors of Takei sexually abusing people before. I also know he was sexually abused as a child. I am not saying that makes him a symptomatic at all (f*** him if true) but there is a sad correlation of abuse victims becoming abusers

Apparently he...gave a stranger a handjob on the Howard Stern show a while ago? Someone on reddit posted it but I wasn't about to go anywhere near it. He's always had an aura about it, but there's a line between sexually promiscuous and full out possibly drugging and molesting a much younger individual.

The sad thing is that, if this is true, his fanboys will still defend him and make excuses for him.
Hopefully it isn't true, but if it is, then I hope he incurs the same wrath the others have

The lead singer of the band Brand New has allegations facing him as well God damnit. Between him and Takei the phrase "never meet your heroes" is looking very appropriate.
