2. There are ALWAYS people involved with the show who they favor and treat well and promote. ALWAYS. Why? Because that's how abusers work. They cultivate and manipulate allies just as they do victims.

(I have been treated very well by a few who turned out to be abusive.)

We have to stop rewarding mediocre (mostly white, mostly male) showrunners/producers/execs/anyone in power just because they, what? Get the work done on time and on budget? Get critical acclaim?

These abusers' voices are not brilliant enough to sacrifice the voices of hundreds of their victims.
I'm angry. And I'm tired. And I'm grieving all the careers that got sacrificed to these cowardly, craven, self-anointed gods.
