I think the Frankenstein remark was just a gaffe on his part, to go along with the "mob rule" analogy. I don't think he went far enough with bashing Weinstein, although given his history he certainly could have (maybe he did and they cut it out of the article). Normalizing is not necessarily agreeing with or defending the person and he seems a bit harsher towards the "world of victims" than the Hollywood casting couch culture which enabled monsters like Harvey. There was probably a better way he could've worded things, and of course we don't have a full transcript of the interview. The reason why people are so sensitive about this now is because this sort of thing has always gone on and then brushed under the rug. People should protect themselves from these sort of predators, but there should be more than a little empathy for those who were only guilty of being a little too trusting.
Terry takes on #MeToo, Weinstein, Trump and John Cleese!!
