Everything you need to know about how Alyson and David feel has already been said with how they conducted themselves after this whole thing broke. Alyson went about posting IG stories and going on with her life clearly ignoring the calls for comments and all David did was like some posts that vaguely indicate some sort of support then simultaneously wipe his and his wife social media platforms. What more do people really want other than that?

Do we really need to know also what Whedon thinks or has to say? He has said and done enough. He doesn't owe us shit, (if anything, we are owed time back for the shit he has subjected us to), no apology is ever going to ring true and if he hasn't privately reached out to make amends to the people he's hurt, he's never going to do anything that can truly help the people he hurt heal. The best thing this SOB can do is disappear into the ether and never to be heard from again.

Those non-committal comments are also just so forced and more annoying than anything. It's all "I didn't really see anything but good for her for speaking up."Good on you for having a spine and showing empathy, buddy!

Anthony Head's response remains to be the most empathetic one of the bunch and even that wasn't the greatest.

The most I can hope for is that the scum out there will think twice before they pull some kind of stupid shit. But even that is kind of futile since abusers are also very arrogant in thinking it will never happen to them. Their time will never come.

The one thing I'll give Anthony some tiny leeway on is that I imagine he's in the period of replaying every memory in his head and dissecting them to see if they're not what he thought they were. But I'm also probably seeing this through some bias on my end because I'm going through something with a family member where I'm trying to determine if stuff I've noticed recently is actually a change in the person, or if there were things I missed this whole time, and it's fucked with my head a lot to try and piece together.

That's the thing that I appreciate with his response. How he was like, "what did I miss? what could I have done better?" reaction. There's at least self-reflection and remorse. A desire to do better. Everyone else is pretty much "I didn't see shit and would like to be excluded from this narrative. good for Charisma tho."

Sorry to hear you're going through something hard. I myself recently had to deal with someone who wasn't what I thought they were, and it's really jarring to deal with because this isn't how you've seen them at all. But it isn't on you per se. People make their own choices and honestly, like Anthony has shown, people can be very aware of who they can act up with versus who they can't.

Stuff like this is why I keep wondering why Marisol Nicols's cover for the FBI was blown. Did she successfully find that she was looking for or was her cover compromised somehow? Idt the public will ever get an answer for this but it's alarming that she was investigating a child sex-trafficking ring in Hollywood while balancing her acting gig on Riverdale.

Yes, I would like an apology for sitting through that Age of Sassy Robot
