re: I know they have to do it but everyone firing Weinstein or removing him just seem silly

Basically. If Hollywood elitists actually cared about his behavior, they would have called him out a long time ago. The fact of the matter is, word got out to the public and it created a shite storm they couldn't beat down. So, they saved face and put Weinstein on blast. I'm not defending him in the slightest. He's a piece of shite. But those virtue signaling loser need to look in the mirror for a long, good while until they realize they are part of the problem.
