On a way more serious issue, what the fuck has been happening in Hollywood? Dustin Hoffman is now apologising for sexual assaults he 'may have' committed?
Damn. I mean I figured things weren't great in that industry but damn.
Repetition causes a normalizing effect.
In this case, the normalization is abstracting away from something that should never have been normal.
I believe that it keeps rolling because we've already spent far more than a year criticizing Trump for these things; it's going to internalize (and normalize) sooner or later, and that time just happens to be now.
Maybe enough people are realizing that double-standards don't stand up to enough scrutiny.
