I think what folks are trying to get at is, and I mean this in the best way possible, is this a Christian Bale thing, or a Bill Cosby thing?
Like, is this just a series of freakouts that went too far and have now become a pattern of normalized on-set interactions of assholishness, or, is this systemic, conscious, and purposeful exploitation of a position of power, and a further deceptive cover-up?
Seems more like the former to me, which is sad to be sure, but is far less charged, and likely, sadly, far more common. But detail is important, and knowing how much it's a conscious abuse of power versus a behavior that was never challenged and just ran away with itself is still kinda murky. It's bad, but the specific shape and form of bad is still kinda important I feel. And yeah, I'm sure it's a hazy mishmash in reality, but that's the point, details will help to illuminate the murk.
