Even for the "That was just misogyny lite by the standards of the first quarter of the 21st century" people...Even for those guys...wouldn't it have been nice, even for them, if society had stopped materialistically rewarding celebrities for unhealthy behaviors a really long time ago?
But NOPE! Rewards are still rolling in.

And has progress been made in the past decade?

Of course, not everyone is at the same level of "offensive to others" by either 2011 or 2022 standards. But are we actually less picky now than we were a decade ago?Again...low bars are just way better for some people than they are for others? It seems that way?
It is the first quarter of the 21st century.
21st century. People.
It seems like there are so many people alive on Earth in the 21st century who would have needed to leave that kind of toxic show business environment a very long time ago.
LIKE THEY DONT EVEN HAVE THE RIGHT GENETICS TO CATER TO THAT LEVEL OF SEXISM. FOR GOODNESS SAKES.
There's room for people to grow.
Because AT LEAST they're not as misogynist as Louis CK was...certainly nowhere near a Harvey Weinstein. Phew.
So that's the bar?
Shouldn't the bar be higher? Like way higher.
Why not?
Who knows how it could have turned out differently?
