Imho and this may piss people off, I don’t think there is a single human being on the planet who is always ready to call out abusers. I don’t. I think people call out abusers when they want to and when it benefits them not to, they don’t. I’ve seen it happen on here too. People praise abusive men when it suits them and when they want to ignore the abuse and benefit from their talent, they do.
In Hollywood, if you wanna go far, you can’t play the moral game as much as you’d like or you get blacklisted or miss out on ambitious projects. I think most people in that industry are almost all comprised in a spiderweb.
Like if an actor calls out one person, someone else can chime in and go “oh yeah then why do you work or have worked with xyz”. Lol we do it here.
This is why celebs came out en mass for Harvey Weinstein. Lbr some of the more powerful celebs could’ve called him out or stop working with him eons ago but they didn’t cause Harvey was good at those careers pushed and movies funded. They waited until he was of no more to them to drop him.
Def not just Hollywood. I work in the DV field and the response from orgs and non-profits to Trump's accusations was loud and clear while the response to Biden's was basically silence or outright victim-blaming and quite frankly it's because they were all hoping Biden would get in and restore all those grants and programs that Trump had halted, changed, or otherwise sabotaged. The gag of course is Biden doesn't seem to be in any hurry to undue the havoc the Trump admin wreaked throughout OVW.
Yeah. :/ A friend of mine told me a friend of his almost raped another (girl) friend of his. She was passed out drunk and his dude friend decided to try and sneak into the bed with her before my friend threatened to beat him up. But he still hangs with him... knowing what kinda dude this creep is.
i get the point you're trying to make but...DOR is such a piece of shit. so are the ppl who continue to work with him and continue to claim they're feminists and progressives who are all for 'MeToo' hollywood is a pit of hypocritical shit
I completely agree. I became so disillusioned when I hung out with activist circles in college and the people who were the loudest and the most performative about calling out abusers (the ones who they weren’t friends with, of course) would find a million excuses when someone in their social circle was accused of abuse. After it turned out that the person who was in charge of a sexual assault advocacy organization at my school herself had a bunch of abusers as friends, I came to the same conclusion as you.
This. I do my best but we are all human and flawed and get tired of the fight. I will absolutely get pissed at a celebrity for being an abuser but I just can’t also get mad every time someone works with an abuser.
