Guarantee you if Miramax had a piece of the MCU or Star Wars or whatever not one person would have come out against him.
Sort of how nobody batted an eye when Joss Whedon was accused of the same sins Weinstein is purging right now.
Is your bias personal or political? Just curious...
No, to say they are the "same sins" is dangerously--- well, I'll be polite and say 'daft'. Care to quote sources - mountains of 'em - of sexual abuse, 'misdemeanors', bullying, and, oh yeah, rape against Whedon? One seems to have broken the law multiple times over decades - the other hasn't, as far as I've heard, broken a single law.
I've not looked at the Joss story for weeks, so I could've missed major revelations, but last I heard we had no first hand accounts from anyone but his wife. As unethical as Joss's actions
sound/seem to have been, there's nothing against what could've easily been consensual workplace relationships.
Maybe if it really
is more okay to speak out against abusive patriarchy we'll see some accusers of Joss's come forward, but until then, no, they're not remotely the "same sins" of Weinstein.
