But Weinstein does not into the mold of the casting couch tyrant, that would be bad enough but he was worse. The fuck of it is the casting couch is a real thing and that’s why he got away with predation and outright rape, Hollywood has been willing to look the other way on casting couch creeps and the whole “you do this for me and you’ll get this”. Some people around him knew it was much worse, some people knew he was committing assault and rape but most didn’t want to look too hard.
So you seem to believe that Harvey was a unique villain, where as I am seeing a whole system that is morally bankrupt. He was able to do it for so long because he was in a system that condoned it. Why? is the question, imo. Harvey isn't the only villain in this movie.
Men using their power to get what they want from women is a major problem in our society but Harvey is a sociopath, a predator and a serial rapist. Unfortunately that men largely have not been held to account for their abuses toward women allowed Harvey, a unique villain, to hide in plain site next to somewhat lesser villains because our culture has allowed toxic masculinity to abound unchecked.
I’ve read Catch and Kill, She Said, and Auletta’s recent book on Harvey, if you haven’t I suggest giving them a go I think reading the mountains of victim statements and reports you’ll see Harvey closer to how I do.

Why? Because it's what the powerful can do to those they have power over. "When you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything."
Why hasn't the disgraced ex-president been held to account over the two dozen charges of sexual assault and the one accusation of rape?

But without the system's support he doesn't reach that level of depravity. He is not unique, prisons are filled with men like him.
