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.

    I think having an easy time to get girls can cause a guy to treat them badly. Probably the same for girls, but girls dont have the physical capability to hurt a man the same way.

    If they did, we would see the same thing i believe. Its not really about gender, its just that men are physically stronger. Women are just as bad as men when it comes to being evil. Its actually more obvious today due to social media also.

    The days when girls were seen as little loving beautiful princesses are pretty much over today. They treat men like garbage just as much as the other way around.

    I guess its human nature for some people to become evil.

      The one area where men and women are equally abusive is with children. It really does just come down to physical strength creating a power imbalance.

    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”?

        Agreed but it is just a shower thought; I’m not sure we need to hold shower thoughts to a high standard of capital T Truth

          That’s if you automatically assume the claim is true without evidence, though. Which wasn’t the original commenter’s position. The original position was whether you could prove OPs titular claim with data.

          Thus far? The answer seems to be “Nope.”

            That’s because thus far no one has provided any data that’s relevant to either side of the argument.

            Aggregated lists of the “best” blockbusters with women leads are irrelevant to the discussion.

              Then why take it as given that the claim needs to be proven false, rather than the other way around? Your mind seems to be made up before any reliable proof has even been presented.

                I did no such thing. That’s you extrapolating incorrectly.

                Literally all I said was that the provided information isn’t relevant to the discussion.

                  No, you said it doesn’t prove that the claim is false. Which isn’t even what they did. They expressed doubt and provided links supporting their doubt.

          Of course it does. The links show there’s a huge number of blockbusters with women leads. So the onus is on the person making the original claim for it to be believed

            But a high number of blockbusters with female leads still doesn’t contradict the claim.

            The claim wasn’t that there aren’t any blockbusters with female leads, it was that there are more with men who are also sexual predators.

            And those links don’t even show that there’s a high number of blockbusters with female leads. They’re just an aggregated list of the best profitable movies with female leads. You need to have the grand total of blockbusters, and the total number of blockbusters with female leads to draw that conclusion.

              So youre saying it doesn’t prove anything, and thus OPs original claim is yet to be proven false. Or more importantly, proven true.

                  You mostly seem to be saying that OPs claim is absolute truth until proven otherwise. Which is a wild stance to take when, thus far, no proof has been given.

    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.

      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.

    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.

      yeah bet you’re a REAL GEM.
