Because specificity makes it easier for people to argue the letter of the law and ignore the spirit of it.

Agreed. White until we aren’t.

They felt safe, probably because they are mostly white...

Actually I took that to mean that no one has spoken to him about it or gotten his side of the story at all. Which does seem like something that that should happen in a proper investigation.

Without making comment on anything else in your post: no, Tambor is not saying that the victims need to speak directly to him about their grievances. He’s claiming that neither he, nor Amazon, have been told what specific action(s) caused these claims. That’s quite distinct from claiming he wants the victims to talk…

You guys can’t help it, can you? Nothing in this 2015 Gawker piece suggests anything non consensual or anything improper with a minor. The fact that HOC is coming to its natural end (just watch the original BBC HOC for comparison) is also a non story, made into a salacious tidbit by media vultures like you. It’s the…

Now, don’t be disgusting.

I’m not asking for head pats. I’m not asking for absolution. I’m doing nothing other than noting my failings in supporting women, That’s what I meant by “mindful”: paying attention to what’s going on.

I am trying to understand why your hackles keep going up when all I’ve done is say I have personally done a shitty job of confronting misogyny where I find it. Then I said I, and men in general, had to do better. That’s it. That’s all. No one is saying that men have it worse; in fact, I’ve been saying that men have…

What part of “admitted my failings and the need to better confront misogyny where I find it” is unclear? Seriously. Scroll up a bit to “be mindful of it and call it out when we hear it”.

I understand you’re angry and you have every right to be. That said, I’ve already admitted to my failings and to the need to better confront misogyny where I find it. I’m not sure what you want me to say here.

I... are we sure this wasn’t a joke? Like 100%? B/c this sounds beyond the pale of absurdity.

Dwarf cleric is a totally classic combination. Has been since AD&D made dwarves a playable race (before that there was just a ‘dwarf’ class, basically a tanky fighter.)

I always thought that was the whole point. Like, she’s totally obsessed with him, while the audience is sitting there going “but why?”.

She went on the record. Sais he wasn’t the guy. Not sure what else you want.
