It's kinda like the Harvey Weinstein thing.
It's great that something is being done about it but I also always figured it was "business as usual". So I don't really understand the shock or even the witch hunt out of nowhere. The zero to a hundred in a blink of an eye makes the spider senses tingle for some reason.
