    While none of us were there, Whedon's treatment towards Carpenter as described could definitely be seen in court as having discriminatory intent and rising to the level of illegal conduct. He didn't just make nasty comments to another person in a vaccuum, he was outwardly hostile to someone who worked under him, whose schedule and pay and immediate career he had significant control over. It's quite scary how much control over our lives employers have, even in the best of times - it's quite hard to understate the impact this kind of behavior has in a workplace.

    I’m kind of shocked of the people taking Whedon’s side. I’ve been a long time fan of the Buffyverse and if Whedon had such a problem with CC getting pregnant he very easily could have wrote her out of the second half of the season when the pregnancy was noticeable and had her back for season 5. But NO he chose to keep her around, verbally abuse her during a sensitive pregnancy, and then FIRE her.

    That’s not how you treat someone that you’ve been working with for 7 years no matter WHAT they’ve done to you. But spoiler she didn’t do **** to him and was just going through a very natural part of adult life.

    My general rule of thumb with this kind of stuff is that I will give someone accused of something the benefit of the doubt unless there's really damning evidence against him.

    When one person speaks up, it's a maybe, when multiple people start speaking up, it's no longer a matter of evidence for me. That guy did something bad. Not exactly precisely legal, but it works for my own personal judgement of the person.

    Joss Whedon is a monster.

    Ray Fisher should try and go over to Marvel to be part of a project over there.

They know nothing about, and said nothing about whatever Fisher is on about with League, since they weren't there. The Avengers was probably a much more pleasant shoot than League, since Whedon wasn't called in at the last moment to completely change a nearly completed movie like he was in League. And of course it's again back to Whedon, with Johns, Berg, and whoever else Fisher is mad at this week seemingly forgotten about.
    he's made his point. I'm not giving Whedon a pass when there are over a dozen people speaking out against him. Many who garnered fame on shows he helped create.

    He's demonstrated a pattern of abuse and has likely been enabled throughout his life. These people aren't speaking out for personal gain. And there are likely others.

    Fisher’s issue was Johns & Berg knowing Whedon was unprofessional and abusive and enabled it to go on.

    It’s not like Fisher has been unclear on that point.

    Hannigan, Acker, Alexis Denisof are still being quiet and I cannot remember, has Seth Green said anything?

    Not sure about Seth. But those last three are going to be interesting if we hear their take.

    Sara has her own company that has products in stores including Starbucks. And she is doing He-Man on Netflix.
    Charisma has a production company.
    Michelle has a online show.
    I think one does "ADULT" content shows.

    As long as Lifetime is around none of them will hurt for money.


    It’s not like Fisher has been unclear on that point.
    What Fisher claims is not burying Wheldon-it's the Buffy women speaking out tossing the dirt.

    Buffy has been off the air for 16 years. If all this was documented (as it SHOULD have been) and folks who were around back then were there when Justice League needed a new director. Why didn't they speak up?

    Ray can be made at Berg and Johns all he likes but someone HIGHER up then those two had to approve that hire.

    Eddie Berganza anybody???? Anybody???

    20+ years at DC with his list of issues. I am sure Jenette Khan wanted him gone but couldn't do it herself. Same with Dan.

    Ray wants to be made-start at the very top. Those folks at the top hear everything we hear. They have access to more information.

    You think so? I mean it sounds like she is implying something bad but should someone be cancelled for an implication? Why is it her last word on the topic?

    I get it that Joss sounds like a dick to work for...for some people. I just haven't read anything yet that happened that required this level public outing. If he assaulted someone or said he would fire someone for not sleeping with them then I get it. But to drag someone through the mud online for dick head behavior seems too much. Like a lot of things these days.

    Would everyone in this thread think it is fair if every bad thing they did or said (not criminal) was posted for everyone to see?

    Her word isn't the last word for me. If Whedon posts something to the effect that he emphatically denies any wrongdoing on his part and will be suing Michelle for libel, then we would be back to square one. Maybe that happens in the future, but I'm not holding my breath over that.

    I looked, as far as I can tell, Seth has been quiet and Marc Blucas doesnt have social media. But yeah I'm very interested in hearing from the other three
