Could have been bullying due to the way he tends to sexualize the ladies in his shows and likely that was happening with Michelle.

this is a possibility, now that the floodgates are open maybe we will learn more.

I honestly find it weird that people feel entitled to a statement from someone peripherally involved without any knowledge of the situation.

Like I get the anger at the situation, but not the expectation that everyone needs to make a statement otherwise it means complicity.

buffy and angel are still great works of television and he had a role in making that happen
the great cast also help make both shows amazing and even though now we are learning this self proclaimed feminist is anything but a feminist the show buffy itself still has a strong feminist message that holds up

Idk about that, I've seen the "not a feminist" criticism levied at this dude for years and barely know who he is, but I guess people have been sick of him for years either way since he does/did get ripped on

Wasn't he commenting on gamergate at the time?

FWIW I think this guy maybe needs a break from showbiz

Why? This is an industry rife with countless victims of all kinds of abuse in situations that have frequently been considered the "worst kept secrets" by people in and outside of it. All of it was enabled by silence, so it's not a great look when people have nothing to say. They don't even have to confirm or deny anything, or take sides. Just a simple statement to get a better picture of the situation goes a long way.

What could possibly be the point in a statement which confirms or denies nothing and takes no sides? What information would that even provide anyone?

That sounds a lot more like pointless virtue signaling to the masses than anything that would be meaningful or worthwhile.

It's great that people are speaking up but no one is obligated to nor should they be. Especially by people who don't know them or know anything about their experiences.

If he doesn't feel a need to or doesn't believe he has anything to say who the hell are random people on the internet to demand it of him?

You're misunderstanding. People want Boreanaz and Hannigan to come out and back the others up, even if though their experiences might not match. They don't have to do that, nor do they necessarily have to come out and support Whedon. It's not just about nailing or absolving Whedon but deconstructing yet another toxic show biz environment and there is no valueless input when it comes to that.

Speaking up gives a better picture of how and why he chose to victimize some while others were spared, as well as how he got away with it under the noses of so many, especially the marquee names. If someone doesn't know anything, that's fine. Let people know that they weren't aware and simply choosing not to stop it, because after all the things we've confirmed in recent years about depravity in show business, that's not at all outside of the realm of possibility.

Considering that silence above everything else is what has enabled/ignored/protected these people for decades, nobody really gets the luxury of staying quiet anymore. It might not be fair, it might not be easy to speak out, but it's the right thing to do, and I speak from personal experience as a victim of and whistleblower in abuse situations.

I can't imagine being so intimately related to a scandal like this and having absolutely nothing to say. Doesn't necessarily suggest complicity but I don't think it suggests anything good, either, for anyone.

Because a powerful and influential director abused his privilege to literally sexually assault his subordinates? Idk how else to explain why you should be against something like that.

Actually they're just allegation, we don't know if any of it actually happened.

FortuneCookie posted...
Notably silent?

Cancel culture has reached a point where we hate people for not sharing in our hatred of people we want canceled? What is this? It's like accusing someone of being a witch because they don't join in on witch-burnings. I've never heard of such nonsense. Maybe the other actors have other things going on in their lives and cancelling Whedon isn't one of them.

Facts

ScazarMeltex posted...
See this kind of shit annoys me. Make a concrete accusation or shut the fuck up. This vague bullshit that can be viewed through any number of lenses is stupid. If the dude did something bad then fucking say so. If not, then vaguely posting about him not being allowed alone with you is just weird.

Sounds like the Ray Fisher nonsense where he made vague claims but wouldn't get specific likely because whatever actually happened wasn't quite as bad as what he wants people to imagine happened (or he was lying but I doubt it as Whedon is known for being something of a Tyrant on set).

The principle of innocent until proven guilty isnt some kind of outrageous damage control. Meanwhile, more than half the people are acting like this mere allegation is a beyond the shadow of a doubt proven fact.

I mean if I made a claim about you, is it true just because it was stated? No.

Also, why should we demand other people get involved when they have no reason to.

Really though, I understand why you're an angry person, and I'm not going to comment further on that because I don't think its a situation to make fun of, but do yourself a favor and keep my name out of your mouth before you too lose the privilege of seeing my posts without having to log on to one of your alts.

1. How am I even trolling here, all I've said is that there is no proof of what Whedon is currently accused of.

2. Cyric came after me because he needs an enemy to attack. I've interacted with him like once before where he attacked me without knowing who I am (he's filled with repressed rage so I won't hold it against him). Despite his rhetoric, he doesn't want to block me or for me to block him because he wants to interact with me, he needs to interact with me. Sure, he would find new outlets to express his rage at, but they wouldn't be quite as evil as the image of me hes painted in his mind.

Not necessarily, it just means they believe her for whatever reason, it isnt proof of anything, especially since none of them are even recalling any specific events that have occurred. This is eerily similar to the Ray Fisher situation where no specifics are being given here and there's no actual proof of anything having happened.

What exactly happened? Were there any witnesses?

I'm not even looking to defend Whedon of all people as if any of this is true id love nothing more than to laugh at him after pretending to be a feminist all this time and turning out to be a real creep (as happens plenty with male feminists). That said, you can't just accuse people of really horrible, career ending shit without some kind of proof or evidence.

I dont disagree with what you say man. I think your issue is the way you go around it. You dont exactly make people want to agree with you. Learn how to bring people along with you instead of alienating everyone man. Youll get a lot more success in your attempts to win people over my man.
