We don't need them.
For every "genius" abuser, you can find 100s of creators (directors, writers, artists, musicians, etc) from communities that are not usually considered (women, BIPOC folks, LQBTQ+ people), who are better, smarter, more efficient, and able to create without terrorizing others.
These people are "geniuses" because they were the ones allowed to create.
Uplift better people, and you'll find that there are suddenly a legion of creators who DON'T abuse.
