So at what point is somebody given benefit of the doubt? I mean in this case:

- all of his exes have said he never abused them
- she claimed to have proof but never produced it
- At least two companies have “investigated” and brought him back on

It seems like every loving guy who’s been outed immediately has multiple accusers with the same story, and people way more powerful and profitable for Hollywood have gotten removed from their positions.

Note: this isn’t sealioning, or some sort of backdoor MRA bullshit. Genuinely curious to hear why given the circumstances he shouldn’t get his jobs back.

The only detail that struck me as off about the original story (Aside from the all-too-perfect harassers) was that Smollett had walked around with a noose on his neck instead of taking it off. I know that you can never know how you'd act in a situation until you're in it, but this is a noose, tight around your neck.

How about we don't go taking the police's word on a black man getting assaulted just yet? Or make assumptions about the proper behavior of a victim.

Plus there was the fact that way back in the ‘90s Anthony Rapp told Out Magazine about how Kevin Spacey had tried to have sex with him when he was 14, but they decided not to reveal Spacey’s name in the incident because it was the magazine’s policy not to out gay individuals who were still in the closet.

This is mind-boggling to me. I get the 90s were different, but it's a goddamn sexual abuse allegation, how would Spacey being in the closet somehow trump that?

And Ted Cruz is getting in on it now. It's looking like this film's going to be the wink and nod for elected GOP officials to gesture towards QAnon without actually claiming The Hollywood Jews Cabal are kidnapping children to harvest their blood.

Is there actually something that you could consider pornographic, or is ol' sack-of-wasps just riding the outrage train?

Meanwhile, after the damaging allegations about a toxic work culture and institutionalised and systemic sexual harassment, Weta Digital and Workshop are going to be investigated by a Queens Counsel - basically, a government appointed investigation led by an independent body with the full power of the courts behind them.

Is that likely to actually result in changes, or is it like in America where they result in a angry report with toothless penalties?

They haven't removed his cards or even just provided alternate art for stuff where his art is the only one available on their digital platform. Also it's still literally all the same people who thought working with a guy who is an open neo-nazi was fine at the time running the show.

The art director and team is the same today as 25 years ago?
It's a waste of time and looks kinda dumb trying to prove how WotC is racist over something that happened over two decades ago and hasn't been repeated (to my knowledge). Especially because in terms of current art they're way more inclusive than other companies in the gaming space.
WotC has a bunch of poo poo that needs to be corrected (like Zak S, their treament of "Pros", etc), so maybe focus your energy on that? Instead maybe talk about the lack of PoC in the current company?
