Well would you look at that...

So glad I adopted this tag many years ago.










Variety: Ray Fisher Accuses Joss Whedon of ‘Abusive, Unprofessional’ Behavior on ‘Justice League’ Set

And of course we all remember this:

Joss Whedon Is a ‘Hypocrite Preaching Feminist Ideals,’ Ex-Wife Kai Cole Says (Guest Blog)
“He used his relationship with me as a shield … so no one would question his relationships with other women or scrutinize his writing as anything other than feminist,” she writes

Plus a very angry article here:

20 Years Later, and the Women of Angel Still Deserve More
The deaths of Darla, Fred, and Cordelia Chase were a waste

ETA: I still love my shows. They were more than one man and most of the people who contributed are great - possibly greater than we knew, since the man in question was a hindrance and a menace. :( (See the s8 comics as to how he fared without them!)

Well, they were in response to people who were questioning Marsters and Michelle's truths. So possibly.

Michelle is wisely ignoring a lot of the comments. Sarah turned off the comments. Marsters is also ignoring all of the comments. Very wise. I don't know why I felt the need to defend them. But I guess it's making angry - I'm tired of these abusers being enabled and allowed to do whatever they please without any consequences. It's infuriating.

Yeah, I think it'd just make it worse if they tried to engage.

I don't know why I felt the need to defend them. But I guess it's making angry - I'm tired of these abusers being enabled and allowed to do whatever they please without any consequences. It's infuriating.
I think we all feel like that - and feel very protective of them. They feel like they're 'ours' in some sense. Much like people would defend their favourite character or 'ship. Except this is real life.

For me? It's deeper than that. I don't know if you've ever been in a toxic work situation? But it can...well, it's traumatic. So for me? What has been revealed by Ray Fisher (who pushed the allegations since 2017 - it was so bad - and this was just a reshoot of Justice League), and the others - is triggering. As are the disbelieving comments...just as what is going on with Trump has been triggering. (I met people who worked with and under Trump on the show the Apprentice in 2008.)

So I find myself fighting with the enablers and disbelievers. And angry at the false accusations that have popped up here and there, for political reasons, which cause people to disbelieve those telling the truth.

And the toxic work environment is prevalent. It's across industries.

Anyhow, Adam Busch just tweeted his support of Charisma, Amber, Michelle and Sarah.

Sounds horrible. I've been lucky enough not to be in that kind of situation, but I believe you about the triggers. :(

Makes sense.

Alas. :(
