The new Tron: Ares got me thinking just how common Hollywood sex offender blockbuster stars are, compared to women in leading roles. Then I realized the same is true for directors, producers and whatnot. Then I realized that’s probably true as well for all official or otherwise roles of responsibility in companies, churches, any sort of union and everything else.

It’s insane our society looks like that.

    I did no such thing. That’s you extrapolating incorrectly.

    Literally all I said was that the provided information isn’t relevant to the discussion.

      No, you said it doesn’t prove that the claim is false. Which isn’t even what they did. They expressed doubt and provided links supporting their doubt.

        And my point was that their links didn’t support their doubt.

        Pointing out someone’s argument is flawed doesn’t mean you support the other side of the argument.

          Did it not? It showed, at the very least to them, that there were a large number of female led blockbusters. To have more sexual predators in lead roles than that would take quite a significant amount. Certainly leads to doubt in my mind.

          Why, in your opinion, is their opinion invalid because of this?

            Again, a “best of” list of 20 some odd movies spanning many years based on the author’s opinion doesn’t support the doubt they were expressing because it doesn’t provide enough information.
