will The Avengers speak out?


we've heard from some of the JL and Buffy casts (nothing from Firefly yet)...will we hear from the big one.. The Avengers

reply

Yes he touched RDJ's ass

reply

Probably by Chris "look at me i'm woke!" Evans

reply

Will we hear any specific accusations at all? Or is it all going to be vague "culture of hostility" nonsense?

reply

Toxic work enviroments I keep seeing repeated.

This is the biggest issue with these claims. They do not actually have to give any specifics, a vague accusation is all that is required.

Ray Fischer still hasn't said what happened to him. When asked he just keeps repeating "muh racism"

Hollywood is a seedy place filled with liars, cheats and backstabbers. They will happily eat their own if it got them up another rung of power.

reply

That's why I and I guess many other people remain skeptical about these kinds of accusations. If you want me to believe what you say you need to tell me what happened, not just allude to it.

reply

There was probably lots of microaggression.

reply

That means there was probably no real aggression then.

reply

To be honest, I've never even looked to see what the exact meaning of microaggression is. I've just been heard it thrown around a lot recently and it seems like one of those expressions that I like to mock because it just sounds silly when people say it in seriousness.

reply

I think it means "something to use in place of real grievances" lol
The way I see it if the aggression is micro then so are the consequences of it.

reply

How can that be when actors are still suffering decades later from PTSD related to these microaggressions? Who's going to pay for their therapy? You just don't recover mentally from people yelling or frowning at you without professional help.

reply

We should send them some money or something

reply

Once I set up the GoFundMe page for them, I'll pass the info on to you so you can contribute and help get these poor souls back on the right track.

reply

Abusers take advantage of their power over those at the bottom.

reply

He may not have tried this with an A-list cast

reply

The Avengers had an A list cast? well maybe about 3 of them

reply

Look at this bigot saying Ray Fischer isn't an A-lister!
