There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
I don't know, maybe there is stuff i missed in that article but the accusations against him seems quite mild. (except in the case of Amet of course)
Touching a woman's arm 9 years ago and the dinner with that Watson lady?
Les Moonves, former CBS Chief Executive, had an employee on call whose job was to provide him with oral sex at work. (CBS was the former home of Supergirl)
In addition four other employees provided Moonves with oral sex. Also Dr. Anne Peters told the CBS lawyers that Mr. Moonves assaulted her in 1999.

The other thing is, at least for now, he's handling these accusations as one should, by welcoming an investigation. It's a completely opposite of how Kavanaugh handled his. Context is always key, but if your context doesn't hold up, then you're in trouble.
I don’t know if this belongs in this specific thread, seeing that it’s a comic book writer rather than an actor/director/producer, but these are some damning allegations against a DC/Vertigo writer (easily identified as Eric Esquivel).

Good Marvel characters- Bring Them Back!!!
Interesting account re: Esquivel from this guy, Nick Hanover. Seems to say that his actions were more or less of an open secret in the comic book industry and collaborators chose to stand by him rather than even listen to the alleged victims.

And if everything Naugle said is true, I wonder if Esquivel will get into some legal trouble regarding sexual assault, domestic violence, and statutory rape (if he is indeed taking advantage of and sleeping with his underage students).

Honestly just the fact that we need an 'All Purpose' thread for this sort of thing should be a damning indictment all on it's own.
