As someone who listened to all his podcasts and read both his books, as soon as the allegations came out I believed them because they were completely in line with what he told the world about how he behaved.

Y'all will never make me believe S6 is good. I don't even believe it's y'all favorite. I believe y'all just say that to come off intellectual and deep. I don't give a damn how much depression Y'all got, ain't no damn way in hell that justifies it being a good season

They genuinely do not understand how;
A) women can want casual sex and enjoy it
B) women can also be raped and abused in casual sexual encounters
Are not contradictory statements. Why? Because for them, a woman consenting to sex cannot withdraw it. Her moral failing was wanting sex. To them, that means any force or negated consent after the fact is irrelevant. It’s a fair punishment for the “sin” of enjoying and consenting to sex as a woman.
This is basically what Windy City Heat did, right?
Scandal erupts in Denmark over TV show that brutally pranked comedian for four months
Danish comedian Rasmus Wallbridge believed he was working with his friend Martin Larsen on a film adaptation of their long-standing idea — a comedy in the style of Scary Movie.
In reality, the film project was an elaborate setup by broadcaster TV 2: 149 people, including Larsen, played out a staged scenario in front of Rasmus while hidden cameras captured everything.
The footage was turned into a six-part series called Everybody Loves Rasmus.
The comedian only discovered the truth at the end of filming. He initially took the prank calmly and agreed to the show being broadcast.
However, after the first episode aired on October 26, the programme triggered a wave of criticism. Viewers, comedians and TV presenters described what happened as bullying and psychological abuse. One presenter called it “psychological torture”.
On October 31, Wallbridge said he was not ready to take part in the discussion and asked the broadcaster not to use such methods again. That same day, TV 2 removed the show from all platforms and apologised to the comedian.
Denmark’s Culture Minister also weighed in on the scandal, describing the programme as a “tasteless psychological experiment” and accusing the broadcaster of violating its own ethical standards.

some of y’all have mistaken your particular corner of fandom for fandom itself
fanfic and fanart are NOT the only way to experience fandom
their popularity on your TL doesn’t make them the backbone of the fandom community
This is song of the summer every summer.
