But it’s not even Hollywood doing it! It’s the media (which is a separate thing) and fan bases and the public! I’m so tired of explaining that you can’t just be like “oh, Hollywood is so messed up” and leave it there. https://twitter.com/wittersdev/status/1277270137272401921
This is so frustrating to me. Hollywood DOES have massive systemic problems. But for me, personally, as a child and teen, I always felt most unsafe and most taken advantage of by the media, strangers on the internet, and creepy “fans”. Not by the people around me in Hollywood.
And I realize I was incredibly lucky, because I have heard horrible stories about young people who were abused by people in Hollywood. But that was not my experience. I just wish people would listen to ALL of our experiences.
Hollywood is a giant organization, and any giant organization is bound to be corrupt. It’s not immoral, it’s AMORAL, and capitalist to its core.
But people won’t listen when I say “actually it was often the public who made me feel worse” because then they might have to look at themselves and what they tweet and post and share
