Spacey would still be making movies now if he’d just preyed on vulnerable women instead.
Dustin Hoffman, Ben Affleck, Morgan Freeman, Ryan Seacrest all have multiple SA allegations that they were able to play down and keep working, but those were all from women.
Most homophobia stems from the fear of male rape, so the usual meninist/MRA crowd who scrambled to defend “innocent until proven guilty” for Russell Brand (3 upcoming producer credits) are nowhere to be seen when it’s Spacey.
(for clarity, this is not a defense of Spacey, it’s an attack on hypocrisy)

Jesus Christ is that a real quote? It's accurate AF. Like, uncomfortably accurate.
Yup.
How can you mention these people and forget Jared Leto? He's an actual cult leader.
I think if your whole brand is being a creepy weirdo, that sort of makes you immune to the consequences of being identified as one.
I'm always pointing this out
Shane Gillis jokes about the only thing worse than Vikings are, gay Vikings.
That dude can suck the shit directly from my asshole.
😎
Hahahahahahahaha gay Vikings he said!
It’s a joke about the hypocrisy of it. Not hating on someone being gay.
Much like how society gives celebrity abusers of women a free pass. How spacey has been cancelled (rightfully so), but Trump is president.
The joke points that out. But sure, take it literally.
