Hollywood enables and protects sexual predators left and right. The fact that most celebrities (not including Terry Crews) love to publicly pontificate about things like sexism and misogyny, all while being complicit in protecting known sexual predators for the sake of their careers, is disgusting.

To act like you would give up your career in an instant and turn some of the most powerful and richest people in the world completely against you is hilarious.

Elijah Wood comes to mind. His career disappeared after he spoke out.

If it really is that bad.. That is fricked up. It seems like the actors/actresses would have more power in terms of public opinion and if a lot of them would get together and speak out at once..

Of course, I don't know the chain of command in hollywood. Are these the people who decide whether studios can make a movie or not?

My point is the same people who are relentlessly advocating for social causes that concern victims rights are the same ones who know full well who the perpetrators are in Hollywood. It's hard for people to take you seriously if you're looking like a hypocrite.

I don't expect them to speak out against everyone, but there are probably many Hollywood A list types who knew what Weinstein was up to, and chose to work with him anyway.
