When it costs people nothing, they are happy to take a flamethrower to everything. But once there is a slight cost, all of a sudden, people want to take a breath, and reexamine. The social media crowd doesn't like Louis CK or Hollywood execs. So fuck 'em all! Year of the lady! Abusers must pay!
Franken and Takei get fingered, and cue the hemming and hawing and rationalizing and so on. And now that they've made the offensiveness of the actions political/subjective, it gives all future people cover, and who wants to come out and name a name when they know it's not going to amount to anything. It's such a typically american string of events.
It's not a partisan issue.
If The Flintstones have taught us anything, it's that pelicans can be used to mix cement.
