Why Is Hollywood So Creepy?

Don't be creepy. From The Other McCain: Crazy People Are Dangerous: ‘Several Disturbing Accusations’ vs. The Flash

“Mounting legal trouble” and “disturbing accusations” are a polite journalistic way of saying, “This guy’s a dangerous pervert.” And not just the ordinary kind of Hollywood sleaze for which Harvey Weinstein was notorious, but really sick stuff involving vulnerable adolescents. Before going into details about what Miller is alleged to have done — and as far as I can learn from news reports, “they/them” is currently a fugitive from justice — let’s first examine some important questions.

Why are so many Hollywood types creepy? As far as I can tell, they are not all creepy, but they seem to have more than a fair few creeps in their midst.

You can picture the scene in the corporate offices at Warner Bros., with executives asking, “Wait a minute — we spent $200 million on a movie starring a guy with ‘they/them’ pronouns? And now he’s on the lam, accused of diddling 12-year-olds, two weeks before the movie’s supposed to hit theaters?”

The red carpet for The Flash premiere is gonna be a perp walk.

So was the whole "they/them" non-binary thing a ploy to deflect criticism? "Don't say bad things about Miller, they're an oppressed minority." Or something.

As Robert Stacy is right to point out, so far everything is alleged, except for that part where he appears to be a fugitive on the run. That looks true as far as I can see, but I've been known to be wrong. Once of twice.
