Sex is a disposable commodity in Hollywood. It's a bartering tool for prospective new stars/starlets.
Sexual abuse is most commonly something people keep to themselves, or at least within the family. Especially when you're young.
There's nothing liberating about talking about sexual abuse from the perspective of someone who was raped/molested when they were young. Subjugation by sexual abuse is, demoralizing, it's conflicting, and leaves something of an emotional scar on the victim that persists throughout the rest of their life.
Sexual intercourse/grooming can and often does feel good to the victim. Enjoying sex isn't necessarily something that's learned, per se, it's inherently biological, to encourage us to engage in sexual behavior when we're physically and, ideally, mentally matured enough to engage in the activity.
The physical enjoyment, however, itself is biological. An 8 year old boy getting his dick sucked is probably enjoying it, even if he doesn't understand why. In his mind though, he knows something's very wrong about the situation. A lot of weird and uncomfortable, exploitative behavior precipitates that.
The victims often blame themselves for what happened. They did something wrong, they trusted the wrong person, they made flawed decisions, they put themselves in that situation. There's little a victim will do in the days, months, even years following the incident(s) to discuss any part of it.
I think the reason why you see so many leftists in Hollywood is because Hollywood treats itself like one big collective family. It's like the proverbial uncle that's known to do stuff with kids in the family, everyone knows damn well what's up, but they still gather around the table at holidays and everyone pretends it's a non-issue.
In the case of Weinstein, you have someone who pulls a lot of strings, makes a lot of dreams come true in Hollywood. You can have anything you want in the world, all you have to do is let yourself be subjugated by this one guy.
In the internal world of Hollywood, everything they're clambering, preaching for, protesting for (equal pay, all men are pigs, all the other social justice bull****) is because in their private bubble of the world, these are real issues.
The rest of America however, from the cops working the streets, to your fast food workers, to the guy hauling your trash, to the Wal-Mart employee, this **** simply doesn't exist. But they're being treated as if it were, being taught that it is, being told that it's their fault (if you're a man), being told you're a victim (if you're a woman/minority).
The toxicity of the Hollywood landfill is leaching into the groundwater of the rest of society. It's a festering abscess full of puss and bile and all matter of ugliness.
Social media was/is a big proponent of why this **** is getting out. Hollywood's been able to hide this stuff, downplay it, make it inaccessible, don't look at the man behind the curtain. With social media, sites like YouTube, we don't need to rely on Hollywood or the mainstream as our only source of information, we can bypass that whole conundrum in favor of educating ourselves and each other by directly communicating to anyone, anywhere, anytime to as many as who will watch/read us.
This has pulled a disgusting dirty bandage off of this brewing Hollywood situation. Now it's time for them to either clean house and get their **** in order, or face the fact that the world is a better place without them as the sole pervayor morality in a world where their reality doesn't ring true.
