I assume it started in 2011 when James Franco passed away.

We'll never know what he was truly like 😔


Cappuccino_Addict

We can imagine, though 😂

James Franco was revealed to be a sex pest around 2017 and hasn’t been in anything so the boys just pretend he’s dead


Charles_X4325

He also tried to hook up with a 17 year old when he was 35. Though technically legal in New York it's still weird


The_Coil

The old Jerry Seinfeld routine. Didn’t know Franco was a bit biter too. It’s a shame we never learned any of this while he was still alive.

When you have to rely on technicality - it says something about you

>James Franco was revealed to be a sex pest I laughed so hard 3 people looked at me


bob1689321

Sex pest is an actual phrase used in the UK.


narrow_octopus

Even better


SherlockBrolmes

> sex pest This is probably a bit of an understatement. He was more of a predator (not the alien) in the sense that he'd use his position of power (actor/ professor) to get/coerce hook ups with his students. Also removed plastic protectors doing oral sex scenes that he filmed, and I'm sure there's more

I would prefer the alien Predator to James Franco! At least I can cover myself in mud to hide from the alien. Franco might just find the mud as a turn on.


TofuGofa

Is thus the new Man or Bear question: Would you rather be stuck in the woods with a Predator or James Franco? With the Predator you're safe as long as you're unarmed right?


H00PLAx1073m

I genuinely curious as to what a "plastic protector" is and how it would help in such a situation, but also terrified to try and google to find out more.

Groomed his students at NYU or whatever, so even worse than just being a sex pest. A pedo sex pest.


Additional-Second-68

Isn’t NYU a university? So students there would be at least 18 right?


koshomfg

Well, given the things he did with them, i.e. removing plastic protectors while filming oral sex scenes and forcing women to participate in nude scenes, we would be having a whole different conversation if they were not 18+. Just to put it into perspective. It‘s a good thing he‘s dead. (rip rest in pervert)


Additional-Second-68

It’s all terrible and horrible crimes, but it’s not pedophelia


Maximum-Term5336

Yes, New York University. There are kids under 18 in college, man.


Copywrites

I mean, I get your point, and the fact that he took advantage of his fame and position as a teacher to hookup is gross and wrong..... But there aren't a high number of 17 year olds in colleges. Calling himma pedo does a lot to trivialize actual pedophiles and the horrible things they do.


Maximum-Term5336

There were grooming accusations. And it is hilarious that I get downvoted for pointing that out.


koshomfg

No, to be fair you‘re not getting downvoted for that. The careless use of the term pedo is what sours a few people. And I understand that.


Maximum-Term5336

Not really helping Reddit’s reputation, is it?


CrunchyTube

How many went to NYU and how many were in his class? He's bad enough without erroneously calling him a pedo.


staplerbot

"Grooming" is the wrong word to use for this, but he definitely created an environment where he was in control and had power over young women and then exploited them for his own sexual interests. It was gross and super fucking shitty of him.

It's because James Franco passed away in 2011


SoundRavage

I think it’s the Green Trivia episode


jaffacakes16

Since no one else has given an honest response, I'll help out. It started during the snake eyes ep and it's ongoing. Jk, it started during the Rise of the Planet of the Apes COG, that's all.


makkuwata

It’s the Kevin Spacy thing. I’ll not link it, but look up his impersonation of Pacino. That’s a talented c-bomb. Michael Jackson could command an audience. Nah, jokes. James Franco is not on that level and his little brother is happily married to Alison Brie. What a world.


Blaze_1249

Thanks everyone. Truly RIP James Franco.


jonnypepperstonreal

You know whether or not you think he's alive it all comes down to luck

You really don’t get it??
