And the Web looks very different toda-a-ay. For here, am I watching giants topple. Down, for all to see. Our words are true, and there& #39;s nothing you can do.
Sexual coersion under the guise of mentorship is wrong in the same way that racism is wrong. Many acts of racism are technically-legal, seemingly innocuous microagressions, but in aggregate they& #39;re heinous, and must be identified and stopped.
Anyone excusing such tactics and the systems that allow their proliferation very likely benefits from these systems. I hope they& #39;re able to free themselves soon.
Some of you are here because of Warren. Because of this, and the fact that I appear in the documentary about him, I& #39;m implored to confirm that, yes, it& #39;s all true. And yes, it happened to me, too. And yes, he has done a lot of good, but the systems? They have to burn.
Another thing about Warren Ellis: this is not about him. The #MeToo https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> movement is, among other feats, shining the light of accountability at the murky spaces between the cut-and-dry criminal cases, where predators once felt safe. This is a conversation about the scope of consent.
An argument I keep seeing: this is about "consenting adults". No. None of us consented to being manipulated, or to becoming a disposable part of a remote stable. You can not give consent if you don& #39;t have the entire picture.
