I don't see what the issue is. Weinstein is a fucking lunatic who assaulted people and did tons of terrible shit. He is being held to account. Argento was one of his victims. The fact that she seemed to also do awful shit doesn't somehow eliminate the evil shit Weinstein did. And she is currently being dragged and held to account as well. How the fuck is this all supposed to work in your eyes?
If you assaulted someone with a bat 10 years ago and got away with it and I beat the fuck out of you the next time I see you, does that mean you can't complain about that beating?

I thought Less was criticizing GGG's suggestion that Argento's behavior was excusable because she'd been previously compelled into sex by Weinsten. I think that's what Less and GGG meant. I could be wrong.
The suggestion she gets a pass because Harvey abused her is not without some merit. The argument abuse breeds abuse is solid. But it's a ridiculous stretch here. Giving a blowjob to save your career and being sexually exploited while underage are not the same thing.
HOWEVER... I haven't read the whole story about the guy with whom Argento had sex. But he was 17. At 17, many of us were already having sex. I mean, maybe he's a victim of a sort... but really? Really? To any male on this board, If Asia Argento asked you to have sex when you were 17... If she pulled a Mrs. Robinson on you... Would you seriously, deep down, feel abused? Or would you perhaps think, Jesus Loves Me! (And then hope with all your might you can last more than two minutes.*)
