He has 2 films coming out in 2018 (in one he plays Gore Vidal). A year from now this will be a distant memory. It's how our culture works now.

This season was going to be the last anyway. He also has a Netflix movie coming out next year which is already in the can. Netflix will probably pick up production again when the worst of this blows over, likely when nobody is looking and the media has moved on to something else. Again, that's how our culture works now.

Non-consensual sexual acts are not acts of sexuality or "deeply inappropriate drunken behavior," they are acts of predation. A predator doesn't strike only once.

6. Spacey's father was a sexual abuser according to Spacey's brother Randall Fowler

Their father, Thomas Geoffrey Fowler, joined the American Nazi Party when Spacey and his brother were just boys. He trimmed his mustache to resemble Adolf Hitler and he regularly whipped and raped his eldest son, Randall Fowler.

Part of this is business as usual in Hollywood using power and status to sexually harass people but part of it is continuing the cycle of abuse he grew up in. Spacey had a nightmare of a childhood.
