I don’t have a dog in this fight - I don’t care about this millionaire or the millionaire director or video games the property or whatever - but this is a very vague accusation that lacks some pretty important specifics if this is supposed to be some sort of smoking gun.

Like big ticket actors sometimes do fuss a lot about the project and throw their weight around - does it just become sexism if the showrunner and/or writer are women? He made comments, but what were they? What kind of comments? That matters a lot here. The speaker doesn’t mention whether this behaviour was consistent between male, female or other coworkers or not.

IDK, I’ll go back to not caring about this just saying this testimony is pretty weak if you’re meant to make some sort of conclusion that he’s a misogynist. He may well be one, but there’s not a ton of evidence for that here.

Especially in this case, because what changes was he trying to override? If it’s all stuff related to the property and he wanted a more accurate portrayal then that’s basically what was said just he went to a step above the showrunner.

If the showrunner wasn’t listening to his critiques than I don’t really blame him of he is that dedicated to the property, but without a clear paper trail it’s impossible to know if it’s because of general directional differences or if he was being an absolute dickhead about it.

i literally could not care less about henry calvill, the witcher, or whatever random reddit capeshit, but the only direct actionable thing that hes accused of is overruling the showrunner. which isnt as serious a thing as the post makes it out to be, and is not uncommon to see. id be happy to be proved wrong but it just reads like the whole bernie is a misogynist thing again

If you make allegations against someone, you should give exact specifics. It makes the allegation more credible and more actionable.

Ate vagueposting, ate misused psychology terms, love accountability, simple as

Not even saying this guy is innocent. But if he really is a misogynistic toxic weirdo I want the deets
