Just say “no.”

Principles that only apply when it’s easy aren’t principles.

    You're applying a moral code to me that I haven't agreed to. You don't know what my principles are.

    This.

    Followed by this.

    Is highly suspicious.

    If my only choice in this matter is to either see his movies or not, I will not. On matter of Hollywood, it's best to assume that they're all guilty of something if their success outweighs their talent. Why does Jared Leto keep getting work despite being terrible to work with? Could it be his private sex cult island?

    I’m literally asking you what moral code you adhere to. Is “innocent until proven guilty in a court of law” something you agree with, or not?

    They already answered you. They don't feel that all of Kevin Spacey's accusers actually got their "day in court" because there's evidence to show that they were coerced into dropping their cases, and for some of them they died. So no, "innocent until proven guilty in a court of law" doesn't apply when we didn't get an actual conclusion to most of the cases. There's a vast difference between being found "not guilty" and "having charges dismissed".

    But apparently nuance is too much for you and you want simple hard fast rules that apply to everything. In which case, maybe read the thousands of years of moral philosophy dealing with that exact topic and see if you can reduce all of it to a single platitude. No one's done it before, but apparently your smartass is up for the challenge since you're the resident authority around here.
