Why are there so many :eek::eek::eek::eek:philes/perverts in Hollywood/Entertainment?

[TheLastEmperorReurns]

Is there something particular about that industry that attracts so many sexual predators and other kinds of sick fucks?

 

[Seano]

There are philes and perverts everywhere there is no morality.

 

[nac386]

As opposed to where? The Church, the police force, the military, education, politics?

People in Hollywood just happen to be famous, so you hear about it when they are caught. But it really is ubiquitous in our society.

 

[HockeyBjj]

People with power over others do shitty things

Hollywood is a double whammy, as there’s also less powerful people willing to do anything to gain some power there

And everyone (until very recently) kept very fucking quiet about it and protected status quo

 

[Social Distance Warrior]

when you have a great deal of power, money, fame, and high priced attorneys, you tend to believe you are above the law...and above mere "peasants."

and almost operate without impunity whatsoever.

this $hit doesn't surprise me whatsoever...

This is why I wouldn't be surprised if the "Lolita Express" thing was legit either..

There are a large number of factors that would contribute to moral problems in that industry. Some:

• Celebrity (groupies/power)
• Money
• Alcohol and drugs
• Nontraditional work environment
• Discrimination (baked into the profession)
• Travel
• Artistic people (open to experience)
• Almost no worker protection
• Unsupervised children

Other factors no doubt, but all of those things contribute to an environment that can more easily become exploitive. I think worker protection, including victim advocacy, will go a long way when combined with the changing social environment.

I agree with most of this -- aside from no workers protection - SAG is a pretty large and powerful union. As is the teamsters

Religion most of all.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Religion most of all.

actually, its food and drink services that take the vast amount of sexual misconduct allegations.

 

[Seano]

Religion most of all.

There are a lot of people who use religion as a mask to hide their dark desires, yes.

 

[FacePunch]

actually, its food and drink services that take the vast amount of sexual misconduct allegations.

Oh that's interesting. I wonder what kind of percentage of food and drink services workers identify as religious. I wonder if it's exactly the same as the general population, which is to say 70-85% religious. Hmm.

 

[Rematch]

I hear 100% of them are human.

 

[LMP]

It's not just a Hollywood or rich person thing. This stuff happens everywhere we just pretend it's not a major issue. There are parents selling their kids all over the place. There are parents, grandparents, foster parents, teachers, doctors, preachers all over the place that molesting children. many humans are nasty animals that shouldn't be allowed around children. Decent people don't want to know about it or face the fact that that our world is full of scumbags.

So its just the specific aspect of being religious that draws your conclusion to sexual misconduct cases?

How about the science and tech industry -- which ranks in the top 7 of sectors that report sexual misconduct?

Oh this

Do atheists have a sexual harassment problem? - The Washington Post

Or this

I spoke out about sexual harassment among atheists and scientists. Then came the rape threats.

I mean, i am an athesist but i think as one, we should look at the facts and acknowledge what they present, even when they have us over represented in these cases.

But, sure --- its all religions fault.

 

[Phr3121]

They are Jewish?

They have made some progress but they bend over for the studios and top producers. Often literally. They also seem highly political, and very old fashioned. It may be the weakest point out of the bunch though. There is a lot of talk of reform.

John Karr isn't a priest. He's a teacher.

Most teachers are dedicated, hard-working people who wouldn't dream of hurting a child. The same is true of priests.

If the suspect in the 1996 murder of JonBenet Ramsey were a priest, there would be a fresh outcry about a decades-long cover-up in the Catholic Church. Commentators from Left and Right would rightly unite in decrying the crisis and the entrenched complacency that led to it. Catholic pundits would take a special relish in pointing out that they agree: The Church had better get its act together.

Any institution that has allowed children to be harmed by predators deserves to be taken to task for it. No institution should get a pass. And no profession should get a pass. Not preachers, not priests — not even teachers.

Especially not teachers. And yet …

Consider the statistics: In accordance with a requirement of President Bush's No Child Left Behind Act, in 2002 the Department of Education carried out a study of sexual abuse in the school system.

Hofstra University researcher Charol Shakeshaft looked into the problem, and the first thing that came to her mind when Education Week reported on the study were the daily headlines about the Catholic Church.

"[T]hink the Catholic Church has a problem?" she said. "The physical sexual abuse of students in schools is likely more than 100 times the abuse by priests."

So, in order to better protect children, did media outlets start hounding the worse menace of the school systems, with headlines about a "Nationwide Teacher Molestation Cover-up" and by asking "Are Ed Schools Producing philes?"

No, they didn't. That treatment was reserved for the Catholic Church, while the greater problem in the schools was ignored altogether.

Well, if Charol Shakeshaft says so I guess that's that.
