sentenced convicted rapist Danny Masterson to 30 years<\/a> in prison.<\/p>\nThe two survivors for whom he received the convictions and sentencing were not his only accusers. They are just the only ones whose charges could bring him to justice \u2014 so far.<\/p>\n
In a clownish and inexcusable move, Masterson\u2019s former castmates Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis wrote on his behalf. Fortunately, their misguided pleas for leniency succeeded only in pissing off a lot of people.<\/p>\n
Now, one of Masterson\u2019s accusers is pointing out that Kutcher\u2019s history looks a little creepy, too.<\/p>\n<\/noscript>Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis spoke on behalf of Ukraine soon after Russia launched its invasion in early 2022. (YouTube)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nChrissie Bixler is only one of several women to publicly come forward with a horror story about Danny Masterson.<\/p>\n
In the wake of Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis\u2019 clownish advocacy for their scumbag That \u201970s Show<\/em> castmate, she decided to call them out.<\/p>\nShe was far from alone. But she singled out Kutcher, including a number of callbacks to some creepy jokes and other unsettling moments.<\/p>\nActor Ashton Kutcher attends the 23rd Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards at The Shrine Expo Hall on January 29, 2017 in Los Angeles, California. (Getty)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nBack when Hilary Duff was a teenage minor, Kutcher did an episode of Punk\u2019d that featured her. <\/p>\n
He joked at the time that she was one of the young actresses that \u201cwe\u2019re all waiting for to turn 18.\u201d<\/p>\n
Other clips covered how Kutcher and Kunis first met on That \u201970s Show<\/em> and shared their first kiss on set. Famously, Mila joined the cast when she was only 14. (And, grossly, there\u2019s a clip of Masterson telling Mila that she was hotter <\/em>at that age)<\/p>\nAshton Kutcher testifies during the trial of alleged serial killer Michael Gargiulo, known as the \u00e2\u0080\u009cHollywood Ripper,\u00e2\u0080\u009d at the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center on May 29, 2019 in Los Angeles, California. (Getty)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWe can acknowledge that a lot <\/em>of people made effed up jokes that have not aged well. Part of life is about growing and learning.<\/p>\nSocietal norms about humor shift, usually in positive direction. Over time, people realize that ostensibly harmless jokes can help to normalize things that are harmful or even straight-up evil.<\/p>\n
You know, there was a whole brand of Nazi-related humor that was popular on the internet for a while. You know what killed it? A very public resurgence of very real Nazis. Fascism jokes are less funny if a fascist <\/em>laughs.<\/p>\nActors Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis attend Game 2 of the 2016 NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers at ORACLE Arena on June 5, 2016 in Oakland, California. (Getty)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWell, the same is largely true about jokes about counting down the days until a teenager turns 18.<\/p>\n
It sounds like a joke. Only the creepiest weirdos would ask out someone on their 18th birthday because it was illegal the day before. Or literally count down to their birthdays with the intention of pursuing them.<\/p>\n
But a lot of people have a better understanding of just how many creepy weirdos there are out there.<\/p>\nMila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are pretty big Dodgers fans. That should be evident by this photograph. (Getty)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThat said \u2026 you know what\u2019s usually a good indicator that someone has grown out of a garbage pattern of behavior, like predatory jokes?<\/p>\n
If they show signs that they\u2019ve changed.<\/p>\n
The biggest step to that is no longer telling jokes that might make an actual predator laugh, or normalize their behavior. The second biggest is just showing how opposed you are to actual bad guys. Writing a letter to defend a convicted rapist? That\u2019s not that.<\/p>\nWe were introduced to Kutcher and his lovable, dim-witted personality as Michael Kelso on this Fox hit. (FOX)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAs for the bit about the age gap \u2026 5 years is an inconsequential age gap at almost any point.<\/p>\n
That said, when Ashton and Mila first met, she was only 14. She misled <\/em>casting directors about her age in order to get the role. He was 19.<\/p>\nBut they were both teenagers, which could be worse. And they didn\u2019t actually start dating until 2012 \u2014 years and years after the series ended.<\/p>\nMila Kunis got her big break as Jackie Burkhart on That 70s Show. (FOX)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWe don\u2019t think that anyone circulating these clips that Bixler pointed out believes that Kutcher is a predator like Masterson. Not really.<\/p>\n
Mostly, people are just calling out moments of his that haven\u2019t aged well. Why? Because both of these actors burned a lot of social capitol when they wrote to defend a convicted rapist. <\/p>\n
This was not a case of two people doing a good thing, because defending a monster is bad. We should all just be happy that their efforts were in vain. People will be bringing up this blunder for years to come, however.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
