The new Tron: Ares got me thinking just how common Hollywood sex offender blockbuster stars are, compared to women in leading roles. Then I realized the same is true for directors, producers and whatnot. Then I realized that’s probably true as well for all official or otherwise roles of responsibility in companies, churches, any sort of union and everything else.

It’s insane our society looks like that.

    Respectfully and gently, this sounds like confirmation bias. Do we have any non-anecdotal supportive data? Or anything more substantial than “this just feels kind of right”?

    Executive producers usually have overall control of the process, including cast selection in which they can override the casting director and pick their bias actor.

    Good people are too busy to become celebrities.

    Think of the drama/music losers in high school, then think what they would do if they were popular all of a sudden.

    You can say the same about athletes but they’re usually popular already and just pricks.

      drama/music losers

      as opposed to the losers who don’t join anything and do nothing with their lives huh?

      You can say the same about athletes but they’re usually popular already and just pricks.

      Not the OP, but I would assume he’s referring to Jared Leto’s multiple allegations of sexual abuse, including the time he was caught propositioning underage teenage models at the Maritime Hotel.
