Read the LA Times article because why not:

Asked whether she felt the pledge had helped undo missteps of the past, Kauffman insisted she was not finished.

“I feel I was finally able to make some difference in the conversation,” Kauffman said. “I have to say, after agreeing to this and when I stopped sweating, it didn’t unburden me, but it lifted me up. But until in my next production I can do it right, it isn’t over. I want to make sure from now on in every production I do that I am conscious in hiring people of color and actively pursue young writers of color. I want to know I will act differently from now on. And then I will feel unburdened.”

Another funny thing about folks saying "I don't see YOU donating 1% of your net worth" is how quickly they forget marginal utility exists, and it's more noticeable now during a fucking pandemic and economic downturn.

When Republicans harass people for not having enough money, we're able to understand "hey, people live paycheck to paycheck and likely have things like student and medical debt." When a rich white person donates money to Black folks they can easily afford to miss while still living a life most of us will never experience, and the Blacks aren't super impressed with the gesture and aren't groveling about it, suddenly y'all turn on us and go "Well, what are YOU doing?!"

Bitch, I'm trying to survive.

So shortly after the new CEO takes over HBO Max starts doing business with Russia again (including licensing their "content" for the whole "territory" of Ukraine, instead of via any Ukrainian companies, almost as if the contract was written with the expectation of Russia having taken over already), drops a bunch of anime, and drops a bunch of TBS/TNT shows they already own?

What's going on?

It was a deal signed last August not anything new from the new CEO. No idea where the ResetERA.com poster is getting that "territory" stuff from to support his delusional conspiracy theory about them signing a Russian victory contract for the war they were privy to months before it happened.

I dunno how that dude wasn't fired on the spot. I mean, I probably know why. But sheesh. 

Religious freedom?

It’s America, if they want to fire him they can find a reason if they even need to give one.  If he wants to prosthelytize he can go work at a church

So worker rights only if it benefits people  with the same beliefs?

The reality is no workers rights at all

Sorry if I don't want to applaud a self congratulatory action, for which she will receive not only publicity but also tax rebates, regardless if it is a positive one. Rich people doing "charity" is never just charity. If it was we wouldn't be hearing about it. So forgive me if I'm not impressed.

Not saying the scholarships will not benefit people, and that looking back and realizing you could have done better is not a good thing. Both of those things are good. But again, it's never just charity.

So…never try to do better or acknowledge past mistakes and just stick to what works for you? Got it.

And did they seriously think the creator of Friends wasn’t going to get publicity for this? Friends is STILL fucking popular despite long, long since being over.  at thinking in the age of social media that someone involved with this wouldn’t tweet about it, even if she didn’t want it public

I feel like they could claim this dude's creating a hostile work environment / gender discrimination, against corporate policy towards women's health and whatnot just as easily tho.

Then the employee would sue, lower courts would agree with Bethesda, appeal and then goes to the SCOTUS. The nutjobs justices would side with the bigot.

It really pisses me off how emboldened these pieces of shit are.

Anyone trying to impose religious believes on others should be fired on the spot.

Fuck that guy. Honestly. Creating hostile environments using their religious beliefs shouldn't be protected. Imposing their religious beliefs should be a crime.

Unless you work in an actual church or for a religious-based employer, you should be instantly terminated for quoting the bible ELEVEN times while ranting in support of Roe v Wade being overturned. Leave your fucking zealotry at the door.

These dudes are all making up law while being ignorant of the actual law (they would otherwise support for protecting employees) and getting angry about their made up law.

I remember Nepenthe and some other "similar" members outlining the steps someone would have to take to be forgiven if they had said something racist once. This woman appears to be doing many of those things, if not all, even though she didn't actually do anything wrong. I notice she is not being forgiven however. Instead her crimes seem to have actually increased in number now.

And then Nepenthe donating the 10,000 dollars she received to some capoeira class in brazil and then waited for someone to question her before she admitted it was actually 10k in Guiné francs or some bullshit. So they got $90 bucks.

BossAttack says that he is an attorney:

I am an attorney. My emotions are removed from it. You cannot harass people due to your religion and think you are shielded due to religious freedom. Imagine an employee writing a hit piece as a Muslim saying women at work not covering up are whores and devils who will go to hell.

You think that is protected? The issue is not him expressing an opinion based on his religion, it's him calling co-workers murderers and harassing them because they think differently than his religion.

You can be fired for that.

I seriously think he is full of shit.

[benjipwns]

Is he using harassment colloquially or as a legal term? Or is he claiming that certain opinions are de facto harassing if expressed?

If they made anonymous donations, Era would be complaining that they weren’t doing anything. So, as usual, the only winning move is not to play.

Unless mods have the ability to detect anonymous allyship, like they do blood alcohol level.

Asking a gay man if he would date a woman sounds outrageously offensive to me. Like a "But how gay are you REALLY?" kind of thing? Somebody asking this needs a slap.

I'm a heterosexual man who has never dated a man and don't think I ever would. I can't say for certain, I don't know how I'll feel or where my life will be in the future.

I've had a few fantasies about men but never any opportunities, and now that I'm married happily, I don't think I really will unless if it was with full consent with my wife and we were both experimenting as a one-time thing.

straight man and only been with opposite sex and have no interest in men at all

i get hit on a lot by gay men, especially some that are rather closeted (from my first impression), I think the big full beard + buzzed cut they like and i‘m pretty big/muscular guy naturally even though i do some weightlifting

my girlfriend finds it amusing though when we go out to a pretty chill club or something and she goes to hang out with her friends somewhere closeby and comes back and sees a guy hitting on me lol. i don‘t entertain it but i also don‘t want to say abruptly „i‘m not gay“ unless they explicitly try to do something, so i kinda sit through it lol. never truly knew how to deal with that situation tbh

but yeah no interest, never had and never been curious

When I was 19 I let a guy give me head after he begged me for an hour, it was fine but didn't awaken anything in me or whatever.

I'm a cis het dude, absolutely super into women. I have nothing against the idea of making out with a dude, just don't find myself attracted to them. I've had a couple of flings with trans women, and those were fun experiences

I'm straight, but I make out with dudes at parties or in bars from time to time. Or maybe I'd define myself as 90% straight, I don't really care.

Last time was rough though, I split a taxi home with some random guys and they asked me how my night had been, I told them it was fun, that I had made out with two girls and two guys. The mood changed completely, both guys and the taxi driver became pissed at me. According to them it was haram, it was disgusting, I was going to hell, homophobic slurs etc. I tried not being too confrontational (it was 3 vs 1) and playfully say stuff like "come on! It's fun, you've never tried?". That did not help. Luckily the ride wasn't long so I could get the hell away.

I told this story to a one night stand I had later on and damn, I was surprised by her reaction. She was on the verge of throwing me out. She said she didn't want to sleep with any gay or bi guys. Like what?
