Additional wrt Joss:

Good summary of most of the problematic stuff over the years here:

How Joss Whedon’s feminist legacy unraveled
Joss Whedon won awards for his feminism. The women who worked for him say that’s not the whole story.

Additional re. MT (why is it always worse?):

Michelle Trachtenberg Says Joss Whedon Was Not Allowed To Be Alone With Her on 'Buffy'

And Eliza Dushku has also spoken out. (Longer article here.)

Turns out that the real Dr Horrible was Joss Whedon himself.

Finally, a nice thing:

I found peace in an unexpected corner of the internet: nun Twitter
Religious Twitter brings together nuns, monks, bishops and rabbis, and it may have something to teach us, too

Thank you! It's been reported elsewhere *waves vaguely towards posts* but I hadn't seen the actual interview.

abusers groom others so they have that veneer of plausible deniability — and also, Tony Head back then would have been a threat to the cover-up Whedon's abuses, if for no other reason than as a cis white guy he'd be believed over any of the female cast if he spoke out about it
This. Although good on ASH, he voices that very thing - that he is not saying "I didn't see it, ergo it didn't happen."

Outwardly respectable and cool to those that he perceives as respectable or a threat and TERRIBLE to those he deemed victims.
