The thing about this documentary is it’s somewhat unwieldy and hard to follow. It veers into a confusing lull about the dot com bubble and too many important figures have almost identical sounding names.

It’s probably for these reasons that this documentary isn’t better-known, but many use it’s relative lack of success as evidence of some sort of Hollywood blackball job

Theyre concerned with being good because they want people to actually watch and discuss them. Information in its purest format is boring to most people. Better to package it in a digestible manner than to present a power point presentation.

"gay" because it would be misleading to imply that a man and woman raped and sold their children to a pack of pedophiles. Without knowing that these are two men, you wouldn't understand why reddit would censor the story. If it were a married man and woman doing this, reddit wouldn't care that people heard about it.

Church, Hollywood, Sports, Army, Boys/Girls only Schools... its as if forcing absolute authority without merit causes human to turn in to vile excuse for one. Authority should never be given, it should be earned. We should teach our kids to never be obedient, but respectful, never listen to orders, but follow own sense of right and wrong.

The expression open secret came into use in the 1820s
and is derived from the title of a Spanish play written by Calderón in
1642, El Secreto a Voces, which translates as “The Noisy Secret.”

man I said that I was a open secret years ago with no knowledge of the play

Right, u/hillbilly-sasquatch. That’s why you replied a bunch of times as if it was your job, and clearly have a little band of accounts to follow you to do the same. That’s an awful lot of effort and it’s obvious. 😂😂😂😂

It’s as if an alert went off and you were required to be in the thread. You wrote as if you knew Feldman personally. First names from the beginning, the rest of us know him as two names. Do you have a rational explanation for why you came to a thread and started talking about Corey Feldman like someone you’ve known for years?

If you aren’t getting paid, you should try getting a life, because this is a really weird way to spend a Friday night.

You might actually watch the documentary you’re commenting on the thread for (I bet you have, any time it gets posted, astro turfers come running. Brock taught Steve bannon all about it). Brock Pierce was a Hollywood sugar baby darling for Bob Villard - a Hollywood pedo who got convicted but still sells pics he took of young boys on eBay (but you knew that). Brock was part of the pedo network “digital entertainment network” and went on to start IGE, which was an early game currency seller. Now he’s in crypto, because scammers gotta keep scamming. He fled to US to Spain for a while to evade charges just like Roman Polanski.

I know all that because of the litigation he faced when IGE was handed to Steve Bannon by Goldman Sachs after a law suit in the 2000’s. Really, I was just a gamer gawking at drama back then, but amazingly, in the years since, Brock Pierce comes up over and over again. He founded tether with his buddy from the gaming currency days (Jonathan Yantis), now he pretends he isn’t affiliated (because, obviously, tether is operating like FTX et al, it was never truly 1:1).

But, by all means. Keep pretending this is all bullshit and that deriding your old pal Corey changes any of it. Were you in the collins-rector mansion shaking it for old men with Brock back in the day? Are you also a victim of old men who likes to abuse boys? Because that’s the company Pierce keeps - old men into abusing boys, and boys to abuse.

Be brave. Come forward.

> and there’s absolutely nothing that’s inherently wrong with that.

Tell that the millions of people that had to die because of an conspiracy theory where a small religious minority is secretly masterminding everything bad happening.

The sources you posted, while objectively awful, fail to mention anything about them being "mega-donors" to the Dem party. They're pretty low level scumbags molesting their kids, which unfortunately happens.

When you embellish things with stories like this it does a disservice.

Is it possible that similar to the don’t-rat-on-your-colleagues culture inside America’s police, you will be blackballed if you snitch inside Hollywood?

Maybe the good apples stay quiet because snitching on the bad apples could possibly destroy your career?

People's eyes were blinded because MJ was one of the biggest pop stars in the world.

I think he was a paedophile, in the very literal sense - he loved children, and certainly behaved inappropriately around them. But I'm not convinced he raped any.
