    I'm frankly much, much more amazed at the people who seem to be genuinely shocked at the whole Weinstein/Spacey/Charlie Sheen/Louis CK/etc/etc/etc thing, than I am about the scandals themselves.

    Seriously, people have never heard of casting couch? That Hollywood might have a kiddy diddler or two? Come on, now, let's not be naïve.

    I'm in no way excusing any of the bad behaviour, but I am rather surprised that it seems to come as news to some people that this stuff happens.

    • When adults with minds of children get to experience the world, this naivete comes out.pr2
    • Ok cool. Some people are naive and surprised. Funny I'm actually not surprised by that. Cool coolpango
    • So what do you think the public should do to prevent this from happening?pango
    • Stop idolizing and granting special privileges to these celebrities would be a great start.BabySnakes
    • He says its inevitable, so accept it. One of the most bizarre and meaningless argument that I've heard for a while.Beeswax
    • So ditch em when allegations come out.pango
    • who was shocked? Don't confuse concern with shockfadein11
    • The general public was shocked, which is what I was referring to. I should have clarified. I know we're all more cynical than that on QBN.Continuity
    • ok - I'm not sure how many would have been in the UK. We have had a whole decade of scandals on this level and bigger.fadein11
    • The other thing I want to point out is that my post in no way condones, approves or supports sexual harrassment. This behaviour is not okay ...Continuity
    • ... and should be actively combatted by anyone who suffers it, and those victims should be supported by the rest of us.Continuity
    • In no way do I support pr2's caveman attitude on the topic. Precisely the opposite.Continuity
    • Cognitive dissonance is a ball ache.jtb26
