It's at least plausible; Cavill is a pretty hardcore gamer and it's known that he was increasingly unhappy with Witcher being primarily based on the original books and not the video game adaptation. It's pretty over the top behavior, but I can definitely see him trying to stage an internal coup and trying to push the writing more towards the video game version.

The fun part of that leaked complaint letter from the Witcher writers is that they take time to complain about him not wanting to do anymore topless love scenes anymore, and while the hypocrisy of this type is well known, I can't help but laugh at the idea of if the genders were flipped and what the reaction would be. :sneaky:

Uh, if the genders are flipped, that's literally routine business in movie and TV. Female leads make such complaints all the time, and there's really no way to make it a blanket "I will not do X" unless you're a big name star with traction to negotiate *or* in a financial position where you can make it a "or I walk" ultimatum.

He is a gamer so it's pausible that he's a total shit head that Women can't work with. 🤷‍♀️

Just saying I can totally see his affinity for the source material fueling his toxic masculinity and addictive personality traits resulting in outrageous behavior leading him to bring fired. 🤷‍♀️

He did date a 19 year old once and made a comment about Me too so I could totally believe he might be a sexual... Oh NVM.

Dude, if some female star said she wasn't going to do topless love scenes anymore, and the male writers complained about that, and how difficult it was to work with her, yes, that would be "normal," but so would the same women with the shoe on the other foot blasting those writers for saying that. Further, the actress would be seen as a champion for standing her ground and not wanting to "demean" herself by being "objectified" in this way.

Sure, but I'd say the Weinstein business definitely illustrates just how little traction even very big name actresses actually had in the industry, and that was for *actual sexual assault* and not just "pressuring an actress to do more stuff".

...Yeah, I'm calling bullshit on pretty much every allegation except that he likely wanted the Witcher to be based more on the video game adaption of the books than the books themselves.

But there are creative differences and then there's trying to slander him as being some toxic predator. I seriously hope he sues them for defamation for this, but knowing Chad Cavill, he'll probably just shrug and move on.

It kinda says something when hit pieces like this that would've been career enders just a few years ago now have most people (the non-NPCs and non-Leftoids) as simply shrugging and going about their days.

Good.

#MeToo's aftermath, when it was hijacked by feminist misandrists, was a fucking disaster which has backfired on women completely.

Nah, they're perverts and what they wanted to do to him constitutes sexual harassment.

Female's have destroyed entire studios and careers over that shit. Johnny Depp lost half a billion dollars over that shit..etc.

I hope he sues them and bankrupts Pedoflix and the WB.

I kinda want some of these studios to not exist anymore.

Given that ratings for such garbage shows (see Rings of Power, as an example) are literally costing the studios making them billions at worst, multimillions at best, I don't think it'll be too long before a lot of studios are "reorganized" (in corporate speak).

I mean, Netflix is in the shit already. They really can't afford, both monetarily and by reputation, to do dumb shit like this. smh

Remind me, where's he now? And if you're really having a hard time thinking of an example with an actress, I'd point at Emily Clarke putting the brakes on that kind of stuff for GoT.

But that is entirely besides the point, which you seem to have entirely missed. I never said anything about how much power an actor or actress has over such a thing, I'm pointing at the hypocrisy of the feminist types complaining about not being able to objectify a man when you and I and everyone else knows full well they complain about the objectification of women, and would be very, very upset at a man complaining about an actress refusing to do topless love scenes.

Naw. He is a fan of both. he was unhappy that the witcher was increasingly becoming the Ciri and Yennefer show and the gross violations of canon.

As long as blackrock and vanguard are willing to keep pumping in billions, they wont change much.

This relies on people giving them billions in the first place. And since the money-printers were already overheating for SARS-COVID-2 stimulus plans, they can't rely on Quantitative Easing forever. ESG only goes so far as the only revenue stream, eventually the heartless financiers who actually own the companies will demand their money back.

Posted this in the Games Journalism Thread originally but apparently there's been new developments. The creature who led the one creature crusade to cancel a random Community Manager for following individuals like 'LibsOfTikTok, IanCheong and Gina Carano' as well as for a "Transphobic Tweet" made seven years ago turned out to be a long term harasser, stalker and transBRONY pedophile who has deleted her own social media accounts in the wake of the nontroversy they stirred up.

The creatures TransActivists username is 'Purple Tinker' who co-founded BronyCon and previously made public social media posts about how young teenagers can consent to sex with adults and states 14 year olds have the right to "self determination" and that the use of "statuatory rape" in these cases "denies personhood and self determination."

And in Video Form:



IGN Games Journalist Rebekah Valentine and other Gaming Journalists Helped Get Another Games Developer Employee Fired, This One Over Following Controversial Right Wing Individuals on Social Media and For Tweets Made back in 2016 as well as stated that she was looking forward to Hogwarts Legacy.



The company that employed Kara Lynne as a Community Manager, apparently terminated her employment in a Tweet stating "LRG respects all personal opinions" before terminating the employment of an employee based on their personal opinions.



Games Journalists, at latest report, are now making fun of Kara Lynne's Husband who has come to her defense on social media because his last name is 'Gooch' and are pursuing ways to ruin his job prospects as well since he is an artist.

Why do I get strong Lily Orchid vibes? Between Gen 5 and crap like this I can't really blame people like Josh Scourcher/Fiery Joker from walking away from the brony community. 😔

Naturally, the person they Karen'd out of a job is not going to be hired back, I'm sure. :rolleyes:
