The backlash is that they are now being exposed for the hypocritical moral posturing they frequently engage in. You don't have much ground to stand on if you criticize Trump for making chauvinistic comments when your industry allows and hushes up this kind of behavior.

Like so many have commented, it's great to see them eat their own. Evil always turns in on itself.

Leftists tend to minimize and hide the failings of their own people. We're seeing that even now with NBC and Amazon trying to kill and control this story, even in light of the FBI getting involved in it.

Hell, New Mexico had a speaker of the house (Manny Aragon) sent to prison for graft and corruption on a monumental scale, and the worst his old compatriots would ever really say about him was that "he made some mistakes."

Weinstein also had a TON of influence, so he could destroy anyone that wronged him. If you shoot at the king, you best not miss.

I'm not trying to castigate victims but where was the outrage when it became known in hollyweird, that didn't just happen.

so much that we're so far removed and have forgotten the Google Bro story.  its now "meh" and could easily be an adder to women in the workplace situation.  though throwing too much at once could make the defense become the victim(s), which is typical response.

Just look at Jacquelin Susan's book and later the movie called Valley of the Dolls that came out around 67 or so.

It pretty much chronicled the sex, drugs, blackmail, and back room deals that make up the whole industry.

I think it's because all these Hollywood elite types have decided they are now the moral compass for the US and feel the need to share their opinion and judgement at every turn. They know what's best for you. People are sick of it and are now returning the favor. I'm all for it. Let those a-holes suffer some public humiliation. Weinsteins response to his being exposed was now he was going to use this time off to take down the evil NRA. Talk about being in denial and uber narcissistic. Now with this dysfunctional social media based society that has been created, it's even easier to widely distribute the misdeeds of the famous. As long as they keep running their mouth, I hope it continues. I'm waiting to hear about Jimmy Kimmels love affair with a tranny. Lol!

That's true.  Weinstein did something to piss the wrong people off, and was therefore "not to work in that town again".   Unless more names and testimony come out, he was a one off sacrifice like Polanski or Woody Allen or (any of the other periodic 'outings' over the past century).

The way everything is getting shut down and focused ONLY on Harvey Weinstein makes me think he is the sacrificial lamb they sacrificed to attempt to show that "Hollywood has morals and some things won't be tolerated."   His sacrifice is to bring back the Blockbusters to the Box Office, since practically every movie this year has underperformed, they're willing to do anything to get people interested in movies again.  

If this were a True Reckoning, there would have been more names and more testimony out by now, but all new tweets focus on the story they've been trying to keep buried for over a week now:  Weinstein, and ONLY Weinstein.

This is much deeper than Weinstein. And these are far from "normal flawed people".

It takes a special kind of mentality to want to make your living by being good at being someone else. By lying. Plus there the attention whoring fame thing. 


But the child abuse is so prevalent it would be easier to find a kid who hadn't been abused than ones who had. There's Jay North, the kid that played Dennis the menace, Patty Duke Mackenzie Phillips, that's just off the top of my head.

Some of these kids were openly abused on set while everyone else stood around in silence. Many pimped out by their own parents.

Weinstein is the tip of the iceberg. The entire industry is sick to the bone and has no business dolling out opinions on anything. 

The real mystery is why are they admired and worshipped?
