First all that stuff about Chris Savino earlier this week now this, are a bunch of people who make cartoons about to lose their jobs.
Luis Thompson
Good.
Aaron Edwards
I agree. Also, I used to buy zines from Hilary Florido at anime cons. She's cool.
Jose Jackson
you know, if there are so many women with the same equal abilities as men have, why not just do their own? Apparently there are more than enough women capable of the same job guys do, so just do them then. 50% of mankind is female, if you want equality, just do it
Elijah Garcia
There's nothing to do but watch it crash.
Maybe we can grow something in the ashes.
John Brown
I doubt CN, Disney, etc. is going to fire any of them, that would be a PR nightmare.
Matthew Scott
Only chicks are mentioned, are dudes just a walking semen banks now?

Yeah yeah, the sun will still come up tomorrow and they'll still cash their checks.
Caleb Price
First off
>buzzfeed
Get out. Second, what does this mean? Were they saying that they weren't sexually harassed?
Cooper Kelly
haha
Thomas Bell
>Zero (0) men named And literally nothing will change! The more this comes out without names the less sympathetic the cause can be, because it becomes a pity party rather an effort to stop abuse. Does it suck that this happens to women? Absolutely, but just saying "I've been harassed/abused" without naming the culprit is about as good as saying "I have brain cancer" without getting any medical treatment. >b-but we're trying to change society Fucking how? Why would men change if they know that even during a campaign of "coming out" around sexual abuse women still won't even name you as abuser?! It's fucking baffling.
David Campbell
>muh misandry!!
Isaiah Morgan
Looking at that list, I would like to openly denounce talent inequality within the current animation industry.
Will you sign my post?
Jacob Flores
everyone knows that men can't be sexually harassed.
Carson Gray
urk, i like star vs but its not good for the enjoyment to know that THOSE kind of people are behind it.
Angel Lewis
keeping them would be a PR nightmare kicking them out is an easiest way out
Samuel Hill
>Lauren Faust, first female animation showrunner of the 21st century kind of confused. Where there female show-runners a century before and then after the 2000s there wasn't one until lauran or is she the 1st in general that just happens to come from the 21st century? Also weren't there female directors in japan before her?
Camden Harris
this is the most inoffensive thing anyone could possibly i sign, what is it that you offends you?
Cameron Long
>but just saying "I've been harassed/abused" without naming the culprit is about as good as saying "I have brain cancer" without getting any medical treatment. Except it then highlights the growing rate of brain cancer and encourages/forces people to acknowledge it and thus work to prevent it. If anything, compare it to aids and how demonized people were in having it compared to now where people are encouraged to be more upfront about it, getting treatment for it, and stopping it from spreading.
Easton Ward
I just lost all respect for Sugar, I thought she was the most moderate of these neoliberals but this is retarded.
Matthew Russell
I kind of just deal with it. I know 90% of the animation industry are leftists with the women being giant feminists. It just depends on how annoying they are about it that ruins my enjoyment with it.
Tyler Evans
Looks like you stopped reading there because I covered exactly why that's a line of shit
Leo Nelson
I thought the whole Concrete thing made people lose respect for her.
Xavier Hernandez
Sup Forums is full of misogynists.
Grayson Carter
Shouldn't Recow be working on her shitty show script and fixing her team instead of doing this attention cry?
Charles Morris
>No Daron Nefcy Interesting.
Luke Price
Who’s Recow?
Julian Flores
Except you address nothing. It's not about changing "men" but changing the environment that allows the men to get away with it. Naming names puts it on specific people instead of the enviornment they feel is allowing the abusers to prosper. It's only "baffiling" if you're looking for fingers to point.
Sebastian Ortiz
Slacktivists race baiting tumblerettes(aka who cares) lost respect for her over that
Benjamin Wilson
>TTGgirls aren't on this Casual reminder that the TTGcrew is kino.
Cameron Clark
Why does it always happen in industries where liberals are the majority?
Gabriel Murphy
>How dare this woman stand up to other people being harrassed!? Fucking feminists!
And i think they mean a sole showrunner, not shows co-created by a woman like Rugrats
Jace Martin
There are girls on TTG?
Justin Campbell
for reference Lamar is a writer/boarder on SU
Matthew Scott
I don't get it. Is it like >Boo! Inequality and harassment in animation! or >Boo! There is no inequality and harassment in animation! or >Boo! Inequality and harassment in animation?
Also, what? >first female animation showrunner of the 21st century
Zachary Martin
thanks user.
Cooper Bell
>Keeping quiet about sexual harassment is a good thing.
Lucas Parker
Her staff is like 90% women
Ian Reed
Good. Hopefully this will lead to people calling the police instead of posting passive aggresive tweets ten years after it happened.
Joshua Wilson
Emily Brundige wrote a few TTG eps
Colton James
I'm so happy Lauren Faust never got to infect FiM with this kind of political shit.
Brandon Myers
If there aren't then that's another reason they're based as well. As you can see, a sausage fest crew burns down when you add a woman to the party.
Andrew Brown
Are you ashamed of being men? Just curious?
Isaiah Robinson
Not for the reason you probably think, it's because the women are much more prudish.
Dylan Cooper
Can anyone explain why "sexual harassment is bad" is a controversial statement that's making Sup Forums mad?
Lincoln Morris
How is advocating against sexual harassment political?
Matthew Carter
You can't call the police because a man gave you lewd comments or threatened to blacklist you from an industry.
Landon Stewart
Depends where you live, especially the 2nd one.
Austin Miller
>First all that stuff about Chris Savino earlier this week now this, are a bunch of people who make cartoons about to lose their jobs. What else did Savino get called out this week? Or it inregards to the stuff with Farrell?

Reminder: She'll never adore you no matter how hard you White Knight for her.
Jordan Bailey
But /ourguys/ kicked her to the curve after season 3 (she only wrote for a few episodes in there)
Ethan Rogers
Someone didnt hear about how spreading AIDS is cool.
Alexander Gomez
This. I don't get why no one here can grasp that abusing animators is bad.
Lucas Reed

heh
Kevin Allen
I'm just not really into being a cunt to my coworkers
Carson Cook
We have a bunch of crossboarders from the /trash/ loud house threads, social inept neckbeards who like making the characters do Sup Forums memes
Jaxson Richardson
There’s no white knighting here. This isn’t Cartoon Brew.
Ryder Clark
Because nobody agrees on the definition. Literally nobody.
Levi Cox
Defending the rights of your co-workers isn't whiteknighting
Evan Robinson
That's because there is no endemic harassment,sexual or otherwise you fuckwit. It's just hollow leftist virtue signalling
Joseph Young
Amid is the last person to whiteknight someone. Remember his MLP article?
Justin Foster
>Harvey Weinstein
Lucas Cox
Official reminder Lauren Faust chimpedout over Matt Taylor's shirt and has been open about regretting the PPG episode about Radical Feminism after Anita Sarkeycheesy attacked it.
Brandon Davis
>Looking for fingers to point You mean removing the people who do this shit? Because that's the reason the environment is like that, because these fucks run the companies, they foster the environment.
Bentley Powell
>buzzfeed
kys faggot.
Oliver Baker
because "sexual harrasmant" has been so warterd down by progressives using it as a clugel to gain political power its become a buzzword
Kevin Rodriguez
An actual man is one that respects individuals regardless of race, gender and so on.
Insert your dumb right wing buzzwords like cuck, white knight and whatever else you fucknuts use
Julian White
Has she done anything relevant the past 5 years?
Joseph White
Good thing Faust didnt make PPG and her husband did
Brayden Evans
>The Pony Empress and the Dark Lord Sucrose call upon me Whose blood shall I spill in their name? Please tell me it's Rapists! They scream the best!
Gavin Lopez
I'm just not into being an asshole. Last I checked a man can be pretty manly and not treat people like shit.
Jayden Thomas
exactly this See, to some people sexual harassment could mean something entirely different to another.
There was a huge shitstorm with people who went to my high school on FB with this one edgy chad dude who basically fucked a bunch of women, and used his deadbeat lead guitarist of a shitty band demeanor to his advantage. A bunch of the girls basically flipped their shit and "exposed" his on FB for sexual harassment, when nothing he did was actual harassment, he just played a bunch of women. This shit happens all the time, welcome to the hookup culture of 2017.
Sexual harassment is so broad nowadays, what does it even mean anymore? I hope people who do non consensual sexual things get their teeth knocked in, but we really need to decide what constitutes being a sexual predator, or just an unattractive man hitting on a girl or an attractive man going alpha male on a bunch of women.
Evan Lopez
She drew porn of ed edd and eddy fucking
Julian Hall
She's married.
Jace Butler
>sluts fucked him and either regret it now or are desperate for attention so they go after him >Lefties make an example of him to show other big shots in Hollywood can be brought down so they better fork over the shekels
Ayden Gonzalez
actually respecting individuals regardless of race/gender is sexist and racist because it does not take into account your withe male privilege and the oppression women and PoC encounter on a daily basis
Josiah Anderson
Exactly, and pointing it out does nothing if they aren't then punished for it. It's like that weinstein(?) guy people keep talking about. He's doing it for years, it's not like people don't know about it, but even with people talking about it there wasn't a thing to do about it. The only reason why it's able to be a big deal now is because his influence as run dry and no one gives a shit about him anymore.
Justin Anderson
It’s called a block button. There’s also a mute button if you’re extra lazy.
Zachary Nguyen
>No Lauren Zuke
Luis Miller
>denouncing >but without proof, only the stéréotypical angry face photo and "we all know" fanatical prayers
Justin Lewis

Cameron Jenkins
Zuke doesn’t identify as a woman anymore.
Juan Price
>white man privilege
Ha! Soy Latino
Andrew Harris
"Let me talk dirty to you or you're fired" IS sexual harrassment.
You faggots are acting like these are just normal dudes asking women on dates (which they shouldn't be doing in the first place as their boss) when it's men taking advantage of women with their jobs on the line. The animation biz loves to blacklist people for complaining, whether it be for better pay for the amount of work they do (look at fucking Vancouver and the Sausage Party artists, they couldn't say anything until they were off the movie and stayed anonymous) or this.
Robert Butler
CANT JUKE THE ZUKE
Brandon Edwards
She's still a woman whether she likes it or not.
Benjamin Murphy
But why?
Asher Adams
Good let it die already.
Jackson Ortiz
What do you want as proof
Angel Williams
>sluts fucked him and either regret it now or are desperate for attention so they go after him Are you really defending Weinstein of all people? Dude is a fucking scumbag.
James Baker
Who cares? Like Tara Strong she's only good for her tits.
Julian Watson
>Naming names puts it on specific people instead of the enviornment they feel is allowing the abusers to prosper.
It IS on specific people though. There is nothing specific to the animation industry that creates sexual misconduct aimed at women. There is nothing specific to any industry for that matter that creates sexual harassment in general.
Sexual harassment is and is always going to be a thing. Saying it's bad is obvious. Anyone who denies it exists is too stupid to change their mind. The people who perpetrate it are powerful enough not to be discouraged by this.
Zachary Sullivan
Yeah, I guess not living in a shithole like Nig Africa and getting welfare with college grants is so much harder.
Are you a George Zimmerman (that is, shot a Black thug and get turned White)?
Elijah Smith
...
Owen Wood
No his influence isn't dry the Weisntien company is still huge. It's specifically because people CALLED HIM OUT. >M-Muh blacklisting Is such a shit argument, especially if this many people have the issue. Strength in numbers the most fucking basic worker's rights idea.
Lucas Cooper
Actually it was Double D and Eddy, naked and embracing each other in a style surprisingly accurate to the show.
She did however draw the main human couple from Ratatouille fucking, with the mouse pulling the guys hair trying to control him.
