[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 407334, member: 265"] I didn't think you did. I'm not sure I've got your second point, but, while a lot of guys in Hollywood knew about Weinstein, the most the women got was the usual warnings to avoid being alone with him. And, of course, he was careful with the big female stars. It's true that outing him would have been the right thing for some of his victims to do, but they had careers in mind and knew that his influence could ruin them. So they moved on and warned others. This is standard behavior in the face of a power you can't (or don't think) you can challenge. That's why the social media side of this is so important. You can call this hypocrisy if you like, but that means all of us are hypocrites. As for glorifying depraved behavior: well, you could make movies about regular behavior, but that would be [I]boring[/I]. I could wish there would never be another [I]Fifty Shades of Gray[/I] or [I]Fury[/I] or [I]Deep Throat[/I] made, but that would mean, not to put too fine a point on it, no [I]art[/I]. Or, at least, that's how I see it. [/QUOTE]
