Everyone despises Bill Cosby and Woody Allen now. One day new audiences will rediscover their brilliance.

Keep in mind Charlie Chaplin was once loathed, too.

Only if society regresses to the point that predatory behavior is celebrated again. Charlie Chaplin’s behavior with underaged girls would likely be more than "loathed"; it would probably land him in jail now.

Would this discussion - if explored honestly - divulge family secrets best left unsaid? Who's ancestry is without incestuous or other sexual "sins"? Why must our true nature be automatically dismissed as evil? Have humans always thought this way?
@SW-User I guess it depends on one’s perspective. If you’re a kid being raped by an adult, can’t leave, they won’t stop and you’re unlikely to be believed by the other adults, I find it difficult to classify that as anything but evil. 😞

I like to think that’s not everyone’s "true nature".

You guess? Of course you don't "guess". You're making a point that seems obvious to you but will not seem that obvious to everyone.

Why does any society have laws? You know why and so does everyone with a functioning brain. Humans, when left to their own devices, will do - and have done - the unspeakable.
