In time, do you think the public will largely forgive Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey?

15. I wish I could honestly say no, but unfortunately I think they will be forgiven

Or if not forgiven, at least the phrases "in the past", "he has apologized and gotten help" "he paid his debt" "we should move on" will be uttered to justify hiring or working with them again.

Casey Affleck still got his award, Woody Allen is still making movies, an admitted and unrepentant predator is in the WH..we as a society have a tendency to have short memories when it comes to sexual assault.

We have musicians (Chris Brown, R Kelly) and athletes who have done despicable acts, yet we are encouraged to ignore that and separate what they do behind closed doors or in bedrooms from their art or sports ability.
