It seems obvious that if it had happened later in the #MeToo
cycle, Franken would have gotten away with it. I guess reasonable people can disagree over whether that would have been a fairer outcome. It's certainly true that some who did worse were punished less.
Knowing all the lives and careers of women ruined by sexual harassment, I just can't muster any special concern for poor Al Franken and his clinical depression. I wouldn't deprive him of the empathy and concern of his friends and family, but he's not important enough to get mine.
I hardly know how to respond to this comment. Have we normalized the lack of empathy? Must we know firsthand about the ravages of depression, experience a family member shot in a mass shooting, unintentionally leave a child locked in a car to find her/her death... to care?
My rule of thumb is that if a rich guy behaved like a scumbag, then a relatively minor inconvenience like losing a job (unfairly or not), is for their friends and family to give them sympathy over, not me. I'm sorry if that makes you lose hope for humanity!
I don't know who you think I am or what you think my job is. I write about video games, used to write about transgender issues. If you think there's a piece to be written, I suggest you do the interviews and write the piece (or at the very least find someone whose beat this is).
