Director Michael Haneke Denounces #MeToo’s “Hatred Of Men” As “Witch Hunt”

BASED

>In an interview with Austrian daily Kurier (via Huffington Post France) the 75-year-old filmmaker stated, “This new puritanism imbued with a hatred of men, which comes in the wake the #Metoo movement, concerns me.” The important and groundbreaking movement, which has helped free women’s voices and denounce sexual abuse, was described as having turned into a “witch hunt” by Haneke and “a new kind of puritanism which could hinder artistic creation.” The director went on to say, “as an artist,; we are beginning to face the fear of this crusade against all forms of eroticism.” Haneke gave as an example Nagisa Oshima‘s sexually explicit classic “The Empire Of The Senses” which he says would “never be shot or accepted today.”

>Haneke maintains that he believes firmly in the spirit of the #MeToo movement and why it was started, but that it may have run its course and gone too far over the edge. “Of course, any form of rape or sexual coercion must be punished, but I find hysteria and condemnations without trial that we now witness quite disgusting,” he said. He went on to add that the “thoughtless rage” manifested has “destroyed lives even with a lack of evidence to back up the accusations.” He then took it a step further by condemning the media which he claims have “murdered lives and careers in the process.”

Men CANNOT use "Witch Hunt" when all of victims of witch-hunts were WOMEN.

>An estimated 60,000 women were the victims in Scotland alone, to just 200 men (barely 0.3%)
>Overall as many as 250,000 women and 1,100 men were victims worldwide (less than 0.6%)

And the men weren't even victims, they were just edgy incels and effeminates that would have died either way due to sodomy laws at the time.

Wow super based my virgin bro.

Based pusy poster

He's right but it's been awesome watching Hollywood limousine liberals get hoisted by their own petards (whatever a petard is).

>the 75-year-old filmmaker stated
This made me sad, I knew he was old but damn not a lot of kino years left

He's done.

Oh... H..he can't say that

Can't wait for haneke to get accused. His hateboner for USA is hilarious.

I thought he detested white Europe though? That's what half of his movies imply.

I said pretty much this exact thing to my friends and they all acted like I was crazy

>ib4 he gets outed for diddling the the granny from amour
In all seriousness, I am illegitimately surprised that his self hatred only extends to his race and nationality, but not gender.

That's only your delusional Sup Forums infected mind where you think that if someone isn't full on right that means he is an extreme leftist.
You don't have to be of any political side to see that this #MeToo garbage movement is just disgusting and extremely dangerous

He wasn't being political dude, relax

>I thought he detested white Europe though?
the entire haneke career is about being edgy. he's literally an european 16 year old edgelord in an old man's body.

Sweetie actually....

wat about the 50's witch hunt?

Tommy Chong just needs to smoke some weed instead of talk about the Me Too movement.

It's not even sophisticated enough to be called a witch hunt thoug. The hashtag is perfect, it's nothing but garden variety metooism.

Yes I really love the hashtag.

Me Too.

It's like the perfect two words to describe woman.

Me Too!

ME TOO!

A screaming voice of angst begging to be hard

ME TOOOO!!!!

Haneke is a 75yo soyboy

>(whatever a petard is).

A bomb saboteurs used back in the day to destroy fortifications.

someone saying something completely reasonable is now news

based Scotland killing roasties left and right

>His hateboner for USA is hilarious.
If you value intellect, reason and culture you can NOT ignore the total lack of them in US "culture", and the way Hollywood has worked to eliminate countries' identities by injecting them with their cancer.

The US contains multitudes inside of it. Nearly all of the world's popular subcultures started off as legitimate and authentic youth movements in the US, which then became corporatized and exported to other countries. The "no culture in the US" meme ends with Jazz, abstract expressionism, and modernist poetry, all of which started in the US.

>Jazz, abstract expressionism, and modernist poetry
HAHA OH WOW

What was the last vibrant and muscular European art movement? All of interesting literature of the latter half of the 20th century happened in the Americas (north and south) and Asia. What has Europe contributed to popular media aside from trashy electronic dance music? Europe's gatekeeping might keep bad stuff out, but it stifles creativity.

Witch hunts were a feature of the Early Modern Period not the Middle Ages. Why are people so historically illiterate?

>invent mass printing and supplant the authority of the Church
>people eat each other
Why do lefties have such a blind faith in the average man?

What's funny is with #metoo, women are pushing themselves into a corner where they are going to be unemployable. It's not worth losing everything you have ever worked for because someone had their feelings hurt or needs money and cries rape on you.

What was wrong with actually hanging witches if they were practicing witchcraft

women deserve to be beaten and raped

Ironically, Hollywood Jews seems to be completely blind to the situation women face in Israel where they are unemployable and no one wants to marry them because they have a get out of jail free card for false rape accusations. The fact a women's word is all they need to give you 10 years in prison, no evidence required, is another reason no one is hiring them.

came here to post this

I'm just happy that the public is getting a chance to see the natural vile state of actors and actresses, which was understood in most of history but not in modern times. Back then politicians had the decency to cavort with actors and actresses in private, in order to study the art of telling lies

Take one look at this guy and tell me he wasn’t a hero. Ted Roosevelt’s “Speak softly and carry a big stick” motto came from his admiration and respect for this guy.

And its fucking great.

>Nearly all of the world's popular subcultures started off as legitimate and authentic youth movements in the US, which then became corporatized and exported to other countries.
They were legitimate for about a day and built on previous corporatized youth movements.

Yo OP, that article on Cee Cee from Newgirl looks WAY more interesting.

Oh shit, is New Girl canceled?

/our guy/

>Women are able to use magic
>Die to men anyways

Most directors, especially old school probably think this. Hopefully they stop enabling this far left SJWism and virtue signaling and take down names.

Guarantee they'll be a softblacklist over men getting tired of hiring women who do nothing but complain about their pay and being raped if someone is too friendly to them on set.

>Nearly all of the world's popular subcultures started off as legitimate and authentic youth movements in the US
You are in Sup Forums. Maybe you should google 2chan and Futaba Channel.

>Why do lefties have such a blind faith in the average man?
I'd say it's exactly the opposite.
I do not know what you understand by "left", though.

>"nearly all" means "all"

lol seeing inept fucking idiots out themselves with all this "ARE WE EVEN ALLOWED TO TALK TO WOMUNZ ANYMORE???" shtick has been consistently hilarious

Lefties are the ones who worship proles and think that religious authorities keeping the masses in awe is wrong

Shut the fuck up, he's absolutely right. That guy from Pixar was fired for hugging a woman even though he was doing the same thing with his male coworkers for years.

Women tried to get uppity then. Scottish men put them in their place. "WE wear the skirts around here, woman!"

It's not whether we're allowed but whether we want to.

>The important and groundbreaking movement
That's not leading the reader at all.

You're still wrong about any of them being genuine. There hasn't been any genuine culture of the people in the US since The Weavers and Bob dylan killed folk music.

no, he's not. he's a darling of the leftists and has the reputation of beign highly professional.

t. austrian

I guess we should now call it a "Bitch Hunt"

this posting is beyond cringe.

This. All she had to do was say "I'm not comfortable with that, please don't hug me" but instead she did it and then sobbed about it years later. If it bothers you so much openly say no next time a guy tries to hug you or anything. Make your opposition heard and you have a harassment case if they keep going with it.

Yes, I'm sure inquisition hunted nothing but dumb roasties.

This but unironically.

but none of that is true at all

literally me

They've already enacted safeguards against that by enforcing diversity policies everywhere. You can't just not hire women.
If I were a conspiracy theorist I would think that it was a well planned out maneuver.

>whatever a petard is)
Hazme un petardo. ¿Sí o qué?

>>An estimated 60,000 women were the victims in Scotland alone, to just 200 men

that explains the superstition around saying Macb

>They've already enacted safeguards against that by enforcing diversity policies everywhere. You can't just not hire women.

Those diversity policies aren't going to protect women from the effects of #MeToo. What will happen is that younger women will be considered a dangerous hire, so you'll get older women hired more frequently since they can't believably accuse men of sexual harassment. It also means that men will not associate with women in the workplace, there be a cold atmosphere between men and women as the men will need to ensure there are witnesses around at all times.

Women won't be able to try getting closer to a boss by going out for drinks after work with him as it'll be a minefield for the boss. Which means women will have a harder time moving up in businesses as they won't have men wanting to help them due to it necessitating getting closer to them.

I'm going to be charitable to the americans and say that american culture is very regional. The South, New England and the west coast all have their own distinct attidues and cultural habits that a Bong like me can pick out very easily. When you try and look at the US as whole it falls apart a bit because you get a bland, homogenised mix of all the the various regions and it just feels like a corpoate shitty version of western europe when you look at it like that.

total bullshit
both men and women were burnt as witches, there are massive differences in the demographics depending on the geographical locations and the records are all totally inaccurate, incomplete or otherwise unreliable —the widely accepted numbers are likely much lower than the actual cinder count

>Director says some shit about how a puritan movement will starve erotic creativity
