Since the account holder has made her tweets private (going to guess "torrents of abuse from angry Ansel stans"), it's an allegation that he raped a 17 year-old girl (I think it's the person who made the claim on Twitter) back in 2014.

Correct, the person I linked to was the victim herself coming forward. Though I've seen a few other allegations popping up today of him dm'ing other 16/17 year olds as well. Seems like he's a habitual predator from reports.

When there's one accusation, others always come floating back up to the surface. If he did it once, he definitely did it on other occasions, and I'm pretty sure that the original accuser probably isn't even his first victim.

WeedlordGoku69 posted:it came out during the filming of Cats that Taylor Swift is pretty much owned as property by her dad, who forced Tom Hooper to include the catnip orgy scene because it made her "sexier" Sorry this is from a couple days ago, but this is a really wild leap to make from the story that was told: quote:And so in the middle of this meeting, Dad just pipes up and says, ‘Hey, I got an idea. What if you had a scene where they are all at the Jellicle Ball and they all get catnipped so they all just start going crazy?’ There is absolutely nothing about it making Swift sexier, nothing about her being 'property' and nothing about Hooper being forced to use that idea and I have no idea where you got any of that from. I think it's important not to make salacious assumptions about complete strangers when there is zero evidence behind it.

The thing that I’ve noticed is that if they are an abuser, they end up being a serial abuser and have lots of allegations pop-up. Not to say that every situation is like that, but the ones that get away with it once or twice then think they can get away with it always. And then you break open the floodgates and you get a hundred stories and at least a few have evidence, etc. that can’t be refuted.

I never said you were doing that I’m just saying it harms the cause to just randomly throw it out there I agree many times it’s worse than the initial reports! But in some it isn’t. Also it doesn’t matter! One rape is bad enough! We can still feel bad about enjoying baby driver all over again without going “surely he is a serial rapist” I mean it’s not the biggest deal but throwing out imaginary information is a bad thing online with many news items these days and it’s led to some own goals that have made proper reporting and discussion look bad.

One of the major things about Cats was also that people who knew the original Cats dance/music routines were also insulted by how bad the work on the movie was. Hooper was completely out of his depth and it's so bad that people have re-examined older Tom Hooper movies and realized that these are also quite poo poo in many cases. Cats was a perfect storm of terrible though, because Les Miserables didn't require require a bunch of CG for example (nor did Cats, but one thing at a time).

The entire wrestling industry is a #metoo bomb waiting to go off, as the baseline behavior of even top of the industry wrestlers is amazingly scummy. One of the most famous women wrestlers ran a prostitution ring using recruits that helped lead women's wrestling to mostly be a joke with no punchline for decades. As well, it's come out that many WWE-tier wrestlers have #metoo problems and there have already been firings. https://bleedingcool.com/tv/speakingout-wwe-airs-matt-riddle-debut-releases-jack-gallagher/ Notably the main difference between Gallagher and Riddle is that WWE wants to push Riddle, and Gallagher is a smaller wrestler generally used as a comedy act/jobber.

It isn't waiting to go off - it's been blowing up the last few days. SA has a thread- link below. Ranges across the spectrum of sexual assault and abuse, all levels of the sport, mostly in the UK/EU and US for now, but people are waiting to see if Japanese wresting has its own reckoning. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3928394&pagenumber=32&perpage=40

First of all, it's a Steam thread so of course, and second of all, it's Gaming Darling Chris Avellone of Obsidian so there's going to be a ton of people either saying it didn't happen or it's not a big deal if it did happen. People who'll be more angry at people calling him out than the fact that he's a rapey creeper.

If you know anything at all about the pro wrestling industry this is utterly unsurprising. WWF, as was, covered up the hilariously obvious murder of a woman by one of it's big stars in the 1980s. It's a business littered with sadists,dealers, junkies, crooks and brain injuries. By Vince McMahon's own words he is in "the garbage business".

One of the wrestlers involved, Matt Riddle, had his lawyer release a press statement on his behalf. In fact, the lawyer had to release it 3 times. Why? The first time the statement was printed out on a sheet of address labels: https://twitter.com/WWFCody/status/1274100043872690183?s=20 Second time, it was released on a sheet of CD labels. It was only by the third release that he got it "right".

Timeless Appeal posted:There was a whole thing about five years ago when Avellone parted ways with Obsidian and was almost definitely fired. Wonder if this had anything to do with it. He was fired for accusing his bosses of shady payment deals and not following up on promised agreements with him. He had a major online meltdown where he started naming names and slinging mud at his personal enemies or something, he nuked his own reputation and basically exiled himself to the hard right video game websites where he was crowned as their king and master. His raging alcohol problem was also an open secret and all his cheerleaders on the hard R gamer forums praised him for being honest about it. Now it seems he's trying to pull a dan Harmon and pretend to be all sorry and recalcitrant about his 20+ years treating women like poo poo in the industry. pentyne fucked around with this message at 06:29 on Jun 21, 2020 |
