Part 14/16:

The entertainment industry’s obsession with legacy and reputation leads to selective erasure of offensive figures, reinforcing societal hypocrisies. For example, while public figures like Stephen Galliano face cancellation for decades-old remarks, others like Alexander Wang or John Galliano—whose histories include allegations of misconduct—continue to operate with minimal consequences. Conversely, figures like Kanye West are quickly cast aside for controversial statements, regardless of their contributions.

The industry’s insistence on cleaning house through selective censorship reflects its deeper fear: maintaining control over its narrative and avoiding genuine reform. The result is a culture of superficial virtue, where the appearance of progress is valued more than actual change.
