Polanski raped a child. That's a whole different level of awful than everything else being discussed here.

Completely agree. But look how much support he maintained in Hollywood, even winning an Oscar for Best Director. The fact that someone who raped a child, can maintain such support should tell us that getting people and institutions to really go after harassers(who while awful are not child rape level of awful) is going to be an uphill battle.
