    Yes, very different from all that, because none of that gets you thrown in a work camp. Stop trying to draw false equivalences.

      That’s true. Cross pre-#MeToo Weinstein (and “crossing” could be as simple as “not fucking him”) and you didn’t wind up in a work camp. You wound up in the exact opposite, in fact: completely and utterly unable to find work in your field.

      It’s very different. No equivalency whatsoever. You’re absolutely right.

        Damn straight. Not even remotely the same level of severity. Being blacklisted in your field may suck and be unfair, but it’s nothing like being forced into hard labor by the most powerful organization in your country.
