¯\_ (ツ)_/¯ If you'll excuse the pun:
Pandora's box has been well and truly opened...
We're now well and truly entrenched in the vicious circle of encouraging ever more allegations and therefore empowering the alligators to ever bolder and more audacious claims.
It's not going to get worse before it gets better, it's going to get worse before it gets worse, and when it does get really worse, it'll be blamed on something else entirely.
My guess is that we're at the very early fazes of capitalism 'giving up'. It's long since stopped caring about societal balance, it's recently given up trying to maintain international diplomatic integrity and now it's entering the self-harm for self-preservation faze of manic depression/defeatism as companies eat each other with ever greater ferocity and just casually sack thousands of employees with gusto, the final faze being the everyone for themselves faze, which the sex 'scandals' are the first sign of, where even close mates can't guarantee loyalty. "leave the injured behind, it might at least slow the enemy up a bit while we try to escape/complete one last cash grab".
