#MeToo and Cancel Culture: Friday is bring your own torches and pitchforks day!

Don't give a shit.

These Biden supporters watch this dude touch children and don't care, want to act upset when an actor touches a fully clothed adult's leg.

He touched her leg. That's not a problem. That's what you people act upset about? I bring up Biden because I don't believe you.

It's a problem because she told him in advance not to. Not only was it not in the script, this was explicitly discussed with a crew member who literally specializes in choreographing sex scenes. He literally decided he was entitled to touch someone else in an explicitly sexual manner that they had not consented to, for no other reason than he felt like it.

 

[Zyobot]

How about no.

Seconded, especially since that'd be no better than punishing all males for committing the most domestic abuse, or whatever.

Besides, I don't know how you'd enforce a "male actors only" law in the first place, or get people to suddenly accept that female characters will, y'know... no longer be played by actual women.

 

[What's the sitch?]

If Anne Boleyn can be black among other now transracial characters/persons I don't really see why females (if they can even be defined) can't just be played by males. Not that I really agree, but it is just yet another one of those inconsistencies and rules for thee but not for me that exists in this clown world.

...From what I saw, he was told 'no contact at all, no jokes' after he did these things?

Because the order that happened in does matter.

Georgetown University is apparently re-considering hiring Ilya Shapiro of the Cato Institute for a position in the Georgetown School of Law because Ilya Shapiro tweeted this:

In response to this Georgetown Universitys 'Black Law Students Association' demanded his firing and an internet outrage mob is attempting to put pressure on the University to do just that. Ilya Shapiro already deleted the tweet and issued an apology, but strangely its done little to douse the outrage against him.

If Georgetown allows itself to be bullied, it will be perpetrating an outlandish injustice and trampling the values of open speech.

And in an update Ilya Shapiro has decided not to pursue the position at Georgetown University despite being "technically" cleared of any wrongdoing by the University.

As he explains:

"After full consideration of the report of the Office of Institutional Diversity, Equity, and Affirmative Action ('IDEAA Report'), and upon consultation with counsel, family, and trusted advisers, it has become apparent that my remaining at Georgetown has become untenable," he wrote. "You cleared me on a jurisdictional technicality, but the IDEAA Report—and your own statements to the Law Center community—implicitly repealed Georgetown's vaunted Speech and Expression Policy and set me up for discipline the next time I transgress progressive orthodoxy."

"Further analysis shows that you’ve made it impossible for me to fulfill the duties of my appointed post," writes Shapiro.

New Thread Made Since It Has Become a Significant Topic of Discussion

Former President Barack Hussein Obama made comments critiquing cancel culture, the primacy of identity politics and stating there's an attitude or perception that people are more concerned with 'scolding' people instead of pursuing equality and its having an alienating effect on getting their message out.

“And what works for I think everybody, is the idea of a basic equal treatment and fairness. That’s an argument that’s compatible with progress on social issues and compatible with economic interests. I think where we get into trouble sometimes is where we try to suggest that some groups are more – because they historically have been victimized more – that somehow they have a status that’s different than other people and we’re going around scolding folks if they don’t use exactly the right phrase. Or that identity politics becomes the principle lens through which we view our various political challenges.”

Scolder in chief scolds scolds for scolding ineffectively. I'm sure the scold's scolding friends are winking at the other scolds that the scolder in chief doesn't really mean it, and the scolds should scold freely. Destroy the enemy of the scolds! Long live the scold king!

 

[LordsFire]

Given identity politics was the bread and butter of his public persona, and his presidency was the key driving wedge that advanced so much of the shit we're dealing with now...

Yeah, really not feeling it.

Absolutely this. He’s just trying to deny responsibility for his part in allowing this nonsense to come to pass in order to save his own skin. And since leopards don’t change their spots, I say we don’t forgive or forget.

 

[CurtisLemay]

In short, Obama is only sad he got caught. Oh well. Can't wait to see his reaction in a few weeks. I suspect it will be one for the ages.

Just so.But - it is good,he knew that his side is loosing and try avoid results of their actions.Good for us - i really feared,that Biden owners take over USA for good,and that we really would have world communism in lgbt + 52 version.

Actually, this doesn't mean anything: he's said similar things while in office. Its talking out of both sides of his mouth like he's done since 2008. Not a sign of any changing winds, unfortunately.

Apparently there's allegations that occurred years ago and were motivated by a bad breakup that Chris Avellone had with a mutual friend of the two accusers.

A Lawsuit does seem to be in the works however...

CHRISTOPHER AVELLONE, AN INDIVIDUAL VS KARISSA BARROWS, AN INDIVIDUAL, ET AL.

On 06/16/2021 CHRISTOPHER AVELLONE, AN INDIVIDUAL filed a Personal Injury - Assault/Battery/Defamation court case against KARISSA BARROWS, AN INDIVIDUAL, in Los Angeles County Superior Courts. Court records for this case are available from Stanley Mosk Courthouse.

unicourt.com

Apparently Chris Avellone is filing another lawsuit against one of the defendants, Karissa Barrows. This is apparently different from the prior lawsuit he filed against Barrows and numerous other, often unnamed defendants last year in a libel suit. This lawsuit apparently is in regards to defamation.

Avellone alleges numerous gaming studios that he worked with terminated his contracts as a result of the viral messages. He claims Barrows made allegations that she knew were false to hurt his reputation and damage his career. Avellone adds that Barrows' actions have inflicted severe emotional distress on him.

Avellone is seeking damages in excess of $75,000 plus court costs, attorney fees and any other relief the court deems proper. He also demands injunctive action requiring Barrows to retract all false and defamatory statements. He is represented in this case by attorneys with Palmersheim, Mathew, LLP in Chicago.

BREAKING NEWS!

HENRY CAVILL WAS DROPPED FROM SUPERMAN AND THE WITCHER OVER TOXIC 'GAMER BRO' BEHAVIOR

This is being reported by Kylie Cheung on Jezebel yesterday!

Here's the link!

Wait... it doesn't work.

Henry Cavill Was Allegedly Dropped From 'Superman' & ‘The Witcher’ Over Toxic, 'Gamer Bro' Behavior

“Someone on the show compared [Cavill’s behavior] to watching someone get brainwashed by QAnon,” an insider from The Witcher told Deuxmoi.

web.archive.org

DC Studios, home to Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman, is currently weathering some seismic changes under new leadership, most recently axing Batgirl and grinding Wonder Woman 3 to a halt. Among the studio’s most controversial recent moves is last week’s announcement that Henry Cavill won’t be returning as the franchise’s Superman—even after Cavill said in October that he’s leaving Netflix’s The Witcher, supposedly to focus on playing Superman. Hmm!

Anonymous insiders are now claiming that Cavill is actually departing the Superman and Witcher franchises due to the actor’s alleged workplace misogyny. Per the popular—and oft prophetic—gossip account Deuxmoi, last week, a source said that while filming Seasons 2 and 3 of The Witcher, “something shifted, and [Cavill] became really impossible for women to work with, which is always a big problem, but even worse here because the showrunner is a woman.”

According to Deuxmoi’s podcast, the source said, “He would try to overrule her and try to get changes made last minute across the board without her knowledge, which, if you know anything about showrunning, is completely fucked.” As a result of Cavill’s behavior, the source said that “female writers and directors” on The Witcher were “suddenly completely ignored on set, unable to do their jobs,” and “every department head was complaining.” The source was clear that Cavill didn’t engage in any sexual misconduct, but his behavior was “disrespectful and toxic all the same.”

Here’s where it gets even more interesting. Cavill is known for his penchant for (addiction to??) video games, and, look, as a Candy Crush champion myself, I get it. But according to Deuxmoi’s source—and loads of internet speculation—Cavill was essentially red-pilled by classic gamer misogyny, or at least his workplace behavior reflected this. Per Deuxmoi’s source:

“[Cavill is] deeply addicted to video games, to the point where it was like working with any other addict. He was distracted, he was late, he was obsessive. And a lot of people think that the misogyny came from gamer world. Video game bro language is not how you talk to coworkers. And he wouldn’t stop.”

Instead of cooperating with the show’s women leaders and set workers, the insider claims Cavill “formed a weird alliance with one writer who was also a gamer.” This writer “eventually got fired after multiple HR complaints were made.” After that writer’s departure, Deuxmoi’s source claims Cavill “did anything he could to hold up production and cause problems.” These antics ultimately led to Cavill’s departure:

“Eventually top brass at Netflix was tired of him costing them money with delays [and] HR investigations. The showrunner was asked to construct a potential exit for him. Netflix reached out to him personally, and he was given one final warning, and violated that warning with an email he sent to the entire writing staff, right after that meeting. That was it.”

The source didn’t specify the contents of Cavill’s alleged email, but apparently, it wasn’t great!

According to Deuxmoi, the insider said “someone on the show” compared Cavill’s gamer bro radicalization to “watching someone get brainwashed by QAnon.” They explained, “His whole personality shifted. Eventually his disrespect escalated.” This “disrespect” led to Cavill rewriting scenes without alerting other actors until moments before the scenes were shot. “He decided that he didn’t want any romantic scenes at all. No kissing, no shirtless scenes,” Deuxmoi continued. Additionally, Cavill “wanted complete control of storylines,” but, obviously, as this isn’t an actor’s job, he “really had no idea of the limitations of TV, structure, budget, etc.”

Representatives for Cavill did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Jezebel. Nor did spokespeople for Netflix and DC Studios.

If you’re not fully inclined to believe an anonymous gossip account, I get it. But there’s a pretty extensive paper trail of less-than-feminist comments and behavior from Cavill. Relevant to allegations of workplace sexism, in 2015, Cavill disclosed to Men’s Fitness that he once became, err, over-excited while filming a sex scene for The Tudors in the 2000s: “A girl had to be on top of me, she had spectacular breasts, and I hadn’t rearranged my stuff into a harmless position. She’s basically rubbing herself all over me and, um, it got a bit hard,” he explained. (Once again, thank god for intimacy coordinators.)


In a 2018 interview with GQ Australia, Cavill suggested MeToo ruined dating. “There’s something wonderful about a man chasing a woman. … I think a woman should be wooed and chased, but maybe I’m old-fashioned for thinking that,” he said. As a result of MeToo, Cavill continued, “It’s very difficult to do that if there are certain rules in place. … ‘Well, I don’t want to go up and talk to her, because I’m going to be called a rapist or something.’”

“So you’re like, ‘Forget it, I’m going to call an ex-girlfriend instead, then just go back to a relationship which never really worked,’ but it’s way safer than casting myself into the fires of hell, because … if I go and flirt with someone, then who knows what’s going to happen?” he explained. The actor sure sounded upset about suddenly being compelled to consider how his words and behaviors might cause women around him to feel.

Cavill also caught heat for dating a 19-year-old in 2016 when he was 33, and justifying the relationship (as older men so often do) by claiming the college student was simply mature for her age.

All of that said, I’m not disinclined to believe rumors that the man isn’t exactly a feminist. And while Cavill’s departure as Superman is upsetting for plenty of DC fans, I’m not mad—in the same way that Chris Evans embodied Captain America, I’d love for us to have a Superman who is, actually, a super man.

TLDR

Anonymous Insiders stated that on Season Two and Three of The Witcher, "“something shifted, and [Cavill] became really impossible for women to work with, which is always a big problem, but even worse here because the showrunner is a woman.”

This anonymous insider report was first reported on a weekly celebrity gossip podcast. He didn't engage in any SEXUAL misconduct but his behavior was disrespectful and toxic ALL THE SAME.

His being red-pilled by his GAMER ADDICTION resulted in Netflix being annoyed with his lack of work ethic, always being late, using 'gamer language' at work and costly HR investigations. The insider said his shift in behavior was similar to someone joining Qanon (which apparently you can join now?) and Netflix gave him one final warning... BUT HE WOULDN'T STOP.

The last half of the article is regurgitating the previous attempts at character assassination at Henry Cavill, talking about when he dated a 19 year old when he was 33 and his 2018 comments about the #MeToo movement and other whinging.

Sad Jezebel took this story down... it seems quite serious with serious allegations.
