Kevin Spacey Should Have Had a Product

Tim argues Kevin Spacey went wrong by not having a consumer brand instead of assaulting people, then critiques Hollywood #MeToo accusers who kept returning to Spacey's orbit for access to fame.
- Celebrity booze and beauty products as escapism: George Clooney selling tequila, Ryan Reynolds marketing gin so you can forget you're not them.
- Rihanna's Fenty and Kylie Jenner's cosmetics line work because they promise you can look like them if you buy the product.
- Kevin Spacey should have launched a product instead of sexually harassing people; he had the celebrity capital to build a brand.
- Hollywood #MeToo differs from military or corporate harassment because the accusers kept returning to Spacey, wanting something from the relationship.
- Tim's skepticism: a man invited back to parties after being jerked off next to isn't someone he feels terrible for, because Spacey's behavior should have ended the connection.
- The accusers knew or should have known how Spacey would act, so they bear some responsibility for repeatedly showing up to his hotel rooms.
- Watching the documentary, you don't actually feel that bad for the people involved; the whole thing is gross to observe.
