I suppose Allen is different in that he has a pattern of creepyness in his filmmaking and married his stepdaughter, but there’s just the one accusation against him.

And yet people continue to work with Roman Polanski with no evidence that they feel any guilt (probably because Samantha Geimer says she forgives him - but if a crime is as wicked as rape, should it matter?)
If they honestly took offense from this line that wasn’t even aimed at them, then they’re part of the problem.
The “E.” stands for “Edgelord”?
That’s what the White Dudes Who Want to Stay In Charge of “Vision” and Studio Money in Hollywood would certainly love for you to believe. That if THEY didn’t direct it, well then by gum it directed itself! Nobody other than a White Dude could do it that well, certainly!

It’s truly wonderful that being a rapist/harasser/general sexual creep is becoming no longer acceptable in Hollywood. It would be a great second step if also just being a complete asshole to people who work for you – even in non-sexual ways – became unacceptable as well. Because both are pretty goddamn rampant.
Reluctant, yet enthusiastic applause 👏
