    Forgotten or burried?

    Honestly, I think the more important question is: Did it even actually care in the first place? Given how hollywood operates and its purpose, I sadly suspect not.

    People will go to extraordinary lengths to avoid knowing the obvious, especially when money is involved
    The rapists/perpetrators generally have stacks of cash/lawyers to avoid responsibility
    Attempts at oversight are co opted by the rapists/perpetrators. The same grooming skills can be applied most situations

    Schachner says she is certain he was pleasuring himself while they had a conversation she thought was going to be about her career.

    In a parade of clips, boldfaced names like Janeane Garofalo, Roseanne Barr, Dave Chappelle and others either defend Louis C.K. or blame the women who came forward or both. Clips of fans walking into one of his shows echo that attitude with a simple, dismissive notion: Everybody makes mistakes.

    Meanwhile, the film depicts women who helped expose his misconduct as mostly still struggling, watching as more powerful comics friendly to Louis C.K. minimize their work and what he did to them.

    [The documentary] Sorry/Not Sorry asks viewers to consider all this again – as pop culture’s short memory threatens to erode progress made by the #MeToo movement – insisting that the stories of those hurt by misconduct remain a central part of the conversation.

    Watching this backlash to me too play out has been one of the most disheartening experiences of my life. It’s given every creep out there a playbook for getting away with things they know are wrong, and for some reason tons of people still see them as martyrs and harrass people who come forward. It’s an age old dynamic but the specific talking points and patterns in use right now are just so eerie and matchy. From celebrities to that guy in your community who everyone knows about. People use the exact same phrases and tactics. It’s boiled down all the awful thoughtless things people used to say to victims into an actual, coherent ideology that some people consciously subscribe to. At least, subjectively from where I’m sitting.
