Her comments sparked immediate backlash on social media, prompting McGowan to tweet a clarification that she “never said #MeToo is a lie. Ever.”
“I was talking about Hollywood and Time’s up, not #MeToo,” she wrote. “#MeToo is about survivors and their experiences, that cannot be taken away.”
She's not wrong, anita hill comes to mind with us crawling back to the same problems we "fixed" in the 90's.
It's a systemic thing. Harvey Weinstein is the martyr for a lesson nobody pays attention to. What everyone in Hollywood (and "the elite" in general) already knows just as sure as the sun rising and falling is that Weinstein's mistake wasn't sexual misconduct, it was getting caught. They'll just keep their heads down or get even better at silencing their victims in the future.
When it comes to Hollywood, it is definitely a case of systemic rot. Even the rise of #MeToo in Hollywood was probably a handcrafted ploy to get people to think the industry is getting better.
