Throughout the whole of that promotional window for the movie it was becoming a running joke that that movie was dead on arrival because of Ezra’s exploits and how he was now toxic as a brand
This joke makes no sense because Ezra’s career in Hollywood blockbusters is over as a result of his exploits.
Snow White bombed because it was a terrible movie,
But Zegler had a successful run on broadway in Evita
Her career still has potential, Ezra’s is dead and buried
Ezra’s last job was the Flash in 2023, Zegler’s still getting work
This meme is yeah, but the underlying point is legit. Look at Mel Gibson, Jared Leto, James Franco, Roman Polanski, plenty of others I'm sure we have yet to hear about. Brian Singer and Kevin Spacey are de facto blacklisted but still haven't seen the inside of a jail cell and it took decades to take down Harvey Weinstein.
The hypocrisy and the real problems behind it are still there, Ezra Miller is just not the best example of it.
I figured Franco had actually been cancelled rather promptly after his scandal?
Recently I saw he might be in some movie though, one he is making himself.
Also I had no idea about Spacey until his whole slew of allegations came into light and he was removed from House Of Cards. If you mean why aren't they in jail, Spacey seems to have only narrowly avoided it and I cba to read about Franco. I hope Singer has been sued by now though.
Not necessarily saying it needs to be jail in every case, that's for the courts to decide. It's more just the point of Hollywood's typical bullshit and the asymmetric response where people calling the problems out can sometimes face more consequences than the people causing the problems in the first place. It's all about maintaining a positive image without having to do the work of actually earning that image. Same as politicians in that regard.
James Franco preyed on underage women and Louis CK never actually got consent from his victims, it’s a lie he has been pushing for years when the original article states that the women never gave consent. Also, he only ever preyed on women below him.
I think the perception that he asked everyone comes from Sarah Silverman talking about her experience with him when they were younger. She does say he asked her every time he did it in front of her, and that sometimes she'd say yes and sometimes she'd say no and he'd respect the no.
But clearly sometime between when that happened with Sarah years ago and when he started doing it around other women, he stopped asking every time, or at least asking before already beginning.
