In a way, I'm not surprised. Socially inept people get power and fame. Look at him, Patrick Rothfuss, Wil Wheaton, etc. They just can't help themselves, now they are finally the people who can be the bully assholes. In movies/shows it's even worse, as young actresses are often the titty bimbos who didn't talk to them in high school.
On the other hand, these young actresses are exactly the kind of people who buy into debasing themselves for some cheap fame. Do you think Weinstein had to rape all those actresses? HAH. They took that dick and many more for getting ahead.
I just looked up this woman. She is vacuous, vain, typical B-lister. She did full nudity on Playboy to "feel pretty". I bet my ass she was more than happy to take that creep's shit, because she is the exact kind that buys the idea that taking a dick in every hole is empowering.
All in all, I feel showbiz is filled with people who deserve each other and nothing more.
Not only them, but the media-power-consumers who can't live without keeping up with everything going on in their favorite shows. They all seem to have massive holes in their lives (no pun intended) that they co-dependently fill for each other.
There do seem to be some genuinely decent and competent people in Hollywood, but not many.
Roman society had actors pegged
Patrick Rothfuss did a misconduct?
In his case it's just being a dick to his fans, looking down on "normies", acting like everyone is below him.
This includes acting disgusted when he needs to interact with fans, demanding people donate to his charity or else they are assholes, saying he can't write because he has a kid he wants to hang out with (working class people are bad parents, apparently), etc.
He is just up his own ass and a lazy, lying piece of shit.
I read Name of the Wind and thought it was awesome.
Aferwards, when I found out what a bullying, nasty manchild Rothfuss is, it left a very sour taste in my mouth.
And yeah, his "charity" -- Worldbuilders is a total scam. It pays large amounts of funds to rent a warehouse owned by Elodin LLC (aka, Patrick Rothfuss himself), and donates a very small amount of money to actual charity. Stay away.
I think I read The Wise Man's Fear, and that was one of the final sci-fi books I touched since my life was mostly wage-slaving and I took to other hobbies to burn steam.
Can't believe that was in 2011 and this fucker still hasn't released a sequel. Why's he trying to be GRRM? On the bright side, the sequel didn't really live up to The Name of the Wind, so maybe his fans won't feel too bad.
I think he knows deep down he's never gonna do better than Name of the Wind. His story setup is way too ambitious and he'll never pull it off right, and he's narcissistic enough that he'd much rather rest on his laurels than risk failure.
