I'm swayed by that, but that only convicts him in the court of public opinion. -- nm - Focused, Non-Terminal Repeating Phantasm Oct 30, 15:46 8
- but that's really what's the most important here, in changing the culture around violence against women - znufrii Oct 30, 16:54
- I don't think anyone's talking about legal charges anyway, are they? He's bringing a lawsuit about his termination and CBC is investigating. -- nm - mara Oct 30, 15:50 6
  - Andie mentioned something above. even if charges aren't able to be brought, getting everything out there about him and him having consequences - b. Oct 30, 15:55 1
    - Yeah, I think even just that women are feeling able to talk about it and tell their stories publicly is good. -- nm - mara Oct 30, 15:56
  - The CBC always get their man... - Beryllium Oct 30, 15:55 3
    - I thought I was ahead of things by actually having heard of the guy before this week - that one is past me, though! -- nm - b. Oct 30, 15:58 2

Yup. Additionally, some of the personal stories being told are not actually about consensual BDSM that turned into something else. -- nm - mara Oct 30, 15:41 1
- thanks. I haven't read anything new in the past day or two, so I hadn't seen that.-- nm - b. Oct 30, 15:53
