There are two issues at play here.
One is society in generals treatment of women. the #metoo
The 2nd is the entertainment industries people abusing positions of power. The 2nd is similar to the Catholic Church and Boy Scouts Sex Abuse scandal. People in power using those positions to commit crimes.
The answer in the case of the church and Boy Scouts and minor league sports wasn't to stop participating but instead demand transparency and change from the top down and attempt to punish both perpetrators and those who covered it up.
So the big studios need to implement standards to prevent this from happeneing and the public needs to stop watching if changes aren't made to the system.
Of course there needs to be some nuance in the severity and frequency of the events of various perpetrators on whether their actions were the accepted standards of the day (Hoffman) or Criminal (Weinstein, Spacey) etc. I don't know where that line is drawn but if we want full disclosure and to prevent it from continuing there has to be some difference in the way we treat people for their various crimes.
