Lasseter's crime is apparently hugging people. That's not a "bad actor". This is far beyond witchhunt territory. Damn I'm glad I don't work in Hollywood. The entire industry appears to be disappearing up its own backside.

You didn't actually read what he did, did you?

I read both linked articles. Instead of asking me belittling questions why not describe Lasseter's crime, as it's not exactly obvious.

Just hugging?

Sources say some women at Pixar knew to turn their heads quickly when encountering him to avoid his kisses. Some used a move they called “the Lasseter” to prevent their boss from putting his hands on their legs. A longtime insider says he saw a woman seated next to Lasseter in a meeting that occurred more than 15 years ago.

“She was bent over and [had her arm] across her thigh,” he says. “The best I can describe it is as a defensive posture ... John had his hand on her knee, though, moving around.” After that encounter, this person asked the woman about what he had seen. “She said it was unfortunate for her to wear a skirt that day and if she didn’t have her hand on her own right leg, his hand would have travelled.”

So a hand that might have travelled but didn't 15 years ago and the fact that he likes hugging is proof of what, exactly? Only the insanity of our era. Don't research how the Queen of England met her husband or your head might explode.

So, to you, unwanted touching from a superior is not a problem?
