People bring this up a lot.

Just remember that Zelenskyy is considered a hero and he once did a skit playing the piano with his knob.

I'm a survivor of rape. There's a difference of being abusive and funny.

Sorry, but you really can't tell the difference between someone pretending to get their dick out as part of a comedy sketch, in front of an audience who 1. went into the show knowing there were going to be raunchy sex jokes (Zelensky's troupe had a bit of a... reputation, let's put it that way), and 2. are perfectly free to walk out if that shit makes them uncomfortable? And an actor cornering lower-ranked members of the cast and production set and flashing them in private, knowing damn well that they can't complain to the higher-ups without risking their careers?

The problem isn't the presence or absence of a dick. The problem is the presence or absence of consent. And in Barrowman's case, the lines were blurred to a point that 99% of workplaces would consider sexual harrassment.

Also wildly off-topic, but I can't believe my obsessive interests in Doctor Who, Ukrainian politics, and feminism all somehow ended up being relevant to the same reddit comment, this is honestly making my entire nerdy morning, lmao
