What you call "brilliance" others call "sexual assault". Weinstein and Kevin Spacey ran in the same circles and abused many of the same people. He wasn't alone - there was an entire network of scumbags complicit in enabling him to perpetrate his crimes. Whatever the artistic merits of any Miramax film may be, a substantial majority of them contain one or more victims in the cast and crew; and that's before we try to estimate how many brilliant actors' careers were ruined because they told him No.

You can try to rationalize your lack of eethical standards any way you feel like. You have to look yourself in the mirror. But it's plain to see that you are rationalizing an acceptance of viciousness and cruelty. Those of us opposed to your sick values do not need to coddle you. You're far too old to be thinking this way. Yet, here you are, sitting in Trump's America, unironically saying you're cool with pedos and rapists, just so long as the pedos and rapists do something entertaining for you and as long as they're not raping your kid.
