The new Tron: Ares got me thinking just how common Hollywood sex offender blockbuster stars are, compared to women in leading roles. Then I realized the same is true for directors, producers and whatnot. Then I realized that’s probably true as well for all official or otherwise roles of responsibility in companies, churches, any sort of union and everything else.
It’s insane our society looks like that.
Executive producers usually have overall control of the process, including cast selection in which they can override the casting director and pick their bias actor.
I think you’ll find that over time, most people engage in behavior that would label them as sex predators. Not necessarily in the eyes of the law, but in the eyes of their peers.
It’s just that hollywood actors tend to have more scrutiny on them than the average Joe, so their sexcapades come to light and they have to deal with the fallout.
That said, I have no idea who you are referring to. Didn’t even see the first tron movie because I don’t watch disney shit.
Not the OP, but I would assume he’s referring to Jared Leto’s multiple allegations of sexual abuse, including the time he was caught propositioning underage teenage models at the Maritime Hotel.
Good people are too busy to become celebrities.
Think of the drama/music losers in high school, then think what they would do if they were popular all of a sudden.
You can say the same about athletes but they’re usually popular already and just pricks.
drama/music losers
as opposed to the losers who don’t join anything and do nothing with their lives huh?

yeah bet you’re a REAL GEM.
No, I was an athlete. That made me a giant prick.
wait until you find out about billionaires and presidents
if women want to be equal in society, then why do they lead fewer criminal pedophile conspiracies?
Hold my beer.
Who do you think watches the sex predator movies....
The sex predator gender?
Oof, it doesn’t sound so good when you say it out loud.
yes... women like to watch movies about male sex pests.
they write letters to all sort of trash in prison.
this is nothing about good or bad, this is just what is.
Respectfully and gently, this sounds like confirmation bias. Do we have any non-anecdotal supportive data? Or anything more substantial than “this just feels kind of right”?
Yup this is truthiness rather than truth
Agreed but it is just a shower thoughts, not sure we need to hold shower thoughts to a high standard of capital T Truth
I wonder if this could be proven with data.
Seriously, i question op's claim
well, I mean, is there a time in Hollywood where you can go before and effectively everyone is a sexual predator?

I think having an easy time to get girls can cause a guy to treat them badly. Probably the same for girls, but girls dont have the physical capability to hurt a man the same way.

The one area where men and women are equally abusive is with children. It really does just come down to physical strength creating a power imbalance.
