Moreover, I recall a documentary on him a decade or two back which mentioned the scandal in detail but showed him traveling around France near his home being treated as a celebrity and a star by the public at large.
ETA: I see he was voted out of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 2018 so perhaps there's hope. But then again, that was during the height of the #MeToo movement and things could change again.Last edited by rogue06; 02-20-2020, 09:38 AM.

The statistics Rogue cited here about it taking 22 generations to breed out a trait seem rather pessimistic
Once we've got those tools working well (perhaps in as little as 15 years), we'll pretty much immediately be able to cure almost every genetic disease, which will be rather useful for many people.Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.

Single quotes paraphrase what someone said without being exact, but they have the effect of still attributing something said to someone
