Don't worry Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher will bust you out
Aston Kutcher, a celebrity famous for his philanthropy, says a man guilty of two rapes should have his charity taken into account.
In other words: A man with excess money, and who gives some of that excess to charity, says a person's charity should balance out that person's crimes.
I think it's the personal connection that makes him find reasons to consider Danny's side of things more charitably. I sort of accept that he is just a dumb Hollywood guy with a soft spot for a friend. Except for one thing...
He's involved with fighting human trafficking which ought to give him a pretty clear perspective regarding sexual assault victims. That's what I can't reconcile.
Maybe he just doesn't want to believe because he knew him for so long.
That's exactly the perspective I consider in the first paragraph and then dismiss in the second. I feel like you've just asked, "But why male models?" for the second time.
That last sentence is scorching and I hope the other dude gets his act together.

"Well damn, Jackie, I can't control the rapin'"
a celebrity famous for his philanthropy
I mean, that's kinda selling Aston Kutcher short. It also downplays his hypocrisy in this matter.
Aston Kutcher quit acting to start an organization that fights human trafficking. That's a bit more than just a philanthropic celebrity. Which is why his defense of Danny is a big slap in the face. It sort of goes against everything he claims to stand and work for. Yea, it wasn't technically human trafficking, but rape is so adjacent to that it's hard to not see the hypocrisy.
I mean I personally feel most people like to think they'd immediately disown any friends that do stuff like this but I'd bet in reality a lot of people would do the same thing.
It's a lot easier to pass judgment when you're not emotionally involved. Same reason why people stay in abusive relationships. On the outside it's cut and dry but sadly emotions are a thing.
I'm not defending Masterson nor am I saying Kutcher isn't in the wrong by defending him. I'm just trying to bring to light that humans are emotional before they're logical.

If using a charity is something Ashton thinks you can use as a get out of jail free card, then what fucking shit does he do, he's been helping with that anti sex trafficking thing, that's a big ol get out of jail free card in Ashton's mind.
I really don't like how much hate they got for this
If someone you love does something horrible, the emotions don't just disappear. It's like grief, people have to work through it, and it happens in different ways.
For them, their long time friend has done something to (for them) hypothetical victims. They asked for leniency in a non-public way...
It's an extremely human thing to do. It doesn't live up to their ideals, but it doesn't invalidate everything they've done
Well, what is Ashton hiding?

We've known for months he's going to prison. This is just media porn.
Seeing people actually punished for crimes like this should always be celebrated as many rapes go unreported
This is the first I'm hearing of this - Yes I've been living under a rock. Can anyone give me a brief rundown of what he did? The article said it happened in the 2000s but didn't give specifics.
Danny Masterson is a rapist and Scientologist.
He’s going gaol because Scientology couldn’t protect him from the consequences his actions forever.
Interesting, I've never seen that form of the word jail actually used today. Where are you from if I may ask?
Australia.
Jail's slowly edging out as the only spelling post-Americanisation, but I was taught gaol in the '90s so it's not super archaic here like it probably is in other Commonwealth countries.
At first I thought you were just trying to be an edgy teen or troll. This is interesting.

Yes, but what did he do?
Did he put shit in people's drinks like Cosby?
Did he rape a girl behind a dumpster like one of the Affluenza Kids?
Is he just a disgusting person like Justin Roiland?
Or is he a good guy like David Bowie, only his victims didn't think so this time?

He used his power and money to bill Cosby women.
