Oh man. Hollywood is late to the party tbh. Most women have been talking about this shit amongst themselves and others for ages.

Hollywood is just very visible @OP sexual assault happens frequently and in all fields

"Im living as a gay man now" "ok Kev, good for you, but we were talking about the guy who says you tried to fuck him when he was 14?"

Oprah is one of the biggest positive examples of a victim coming out on top. And I respect that.
sassybeckalicious
your comment should have more points :)

To be fair, that's been Hollywood for a while, not just now.
wonder89
I worked at the Postal Service and sexual harrasment(and worse) is common and often done right in the open, with little or no recourse.
archygreen
Worked for a gov't org and the same thing occurred. It's actually encouraged there, with upper management leading the harassment brigade.

It's less like pointing fingers at each other and more like a shitload of people pointing at a handful of rapey men.

Seems like it's more than a handful and I'm sure this shit has been going on since the industry existed. How many dead celebs were rapey??

I admit it's draining and annoying hearing about 3 new cases every day, but get annoyed at the people who deserve it: rapey assholes.

And i cant remember the psych term for it. Either way, pedophilia and sexual assault is rampant in Hollywood and it will be its downfall.

Downfall? you act like we're not going to pay to consume our favorite content either way. Bread and Circuses. This is just another circus.
rabbiebabbie
Bread and circuses? What's that mean?

Once I started telling people I was sexually abused, people started telling me that they had been. It was outright weird until I realized -

I think it was Elijah Wood who spoke about how much pedophilia is in hollywood. It's the real Sin City...
dmax12
So did Corey Feldman, a few years ago actually.
OverpricedCrayon
sadly most people are going to dismiss Feldman as crazy because of how he's seen now. We need more "respected" people like Wood speaking out
IIikethecutofyourjib
Agreed. And even though we'll have a few bandwagonners and liars, I'd rather people feel comfortable coming out about it.
suntzupup
i hope this becomes the norm, that we as a society will no longer tolerate power used for sexual harassment.

Seems like it, I hope things change after the dust settles. I hope women are no longer scared to speak out and men stop being cunts.
GaySocialistLiberalMuslimCommieAtheist
Can we make it so society also doesn't laugh at a guy for saying he was sexually assaulted? Cause as it is, everyone gets fucked.

Sure let me wave my magic wand. But really thats going to require a bit more work and education overall for it to be taken just as seriously
