It's tough because this is nothing new. How many people actually refuse to watch Polanski films? I know I still watch them.For better or worse is kind of the point here and why I think Liam would make a statement like this. You see the posters I've been quoting and numerous others instantly taking allegations as truthful or proven once they've spread, much like would happen in a witch hunt. Whether the person is actually a witch or not is irrelevant.
A few days after Tarantino was outed as knowing and doing nothing about Weinstein there was a bidding war for his next film, following that he got a gig directing the next Star Trek with an R-rating. Nothing has happened to him whatsoever, because he's money in the bank, and everyone knows that his associate with creepers is not going to impact the performance of his films.
I would be more concerned about 'false-positives' or whatever if we'd seen any repercussions for these people, but we haven't. The people who have been ostracised, yes, weren't convicted or anything, but have basically admitted to some shady shit, and have had tons of people talk about instances of their behaviour.
If one or two people claim minor things about someone, and they're not true, even if we believe them, it's not going to cripple that person's career. The chance of dozens of women lying about a specific person seems so unlikely that I just don't believe it'll happen.
Only the 'witches' are going to be destroyed. And even then, destroyed is extreme. Even if Franco never works again, he's rich, and is not going to jail or anything. It's hardly a punishment.
