quote [ What’s really at play here the creepy, inappropriate public inclination to sexualize young girls in the media. We do not need to perpetuate the culture of dehumanization Hollywood has enabled. But the media has become democratized; social media and user-generated content mean anyone can write about anyone, and there is a good chance anyone will see it. We are all part of the media, but I don’t know if we’ve realized that yet, nor understood what a tremendous responsibility that is. ]

Fair enough.
I have seen firsthand the work that goes into both crafts. I have seen firsthand the work that goes into both crafts.
I have worked in theater for just shy of 25 years. I also have worked on film sets, including acting, since I was in single digits. All of my work has been paid.
I've also worked on many events over the past 20 years that have involved me interacting with various performers and actors. Some were awful people; most were quite nice. My experiences were with people of varied celebrity status, age, gender, race, and genre.
On behalf of all of the people I have had the privilege to work with in these three areas: I disagree with your opinion and question how much of it is based on facts/experiences vs. blind opinion.

There was a southpark episode about Britney Spears touching on the way we treat young celebrities, but my mind typically goes back to the plotline in American Gods regarding child sacrifice.
