Woody Allen is strongly suspected of sexually abusing his children and is venerated by same pontificating dipshits.

The casting couch is still used to coerce vulnerable young women into sleeping with known producers in order to sustain movie careers.

Only in Hollywood could the political views of wifebeating racists like Sean Penn and Alec Baldwin be taken with anything more than a pinch of salt.



Replace "Hollywood" with "The Catholic Church", and you can make the same argument. You even use the term "pontificating", which Freud would have fun with.
