cw: cr

i want to believe the best of people still involved with cr. i really do. i hope the fans who are critical of it now see improvement, or change, or even acknowledgement. i hope all their work isn't wasted. HOWEVER. on the other hand: if you did not see them as morally bankrupt the moment they outed a trans individual to their cult fanbase, i don't actually think there's any hope for you. if that behavior did not strike you as unambiguously evil, we are not having the same conversation.

so, with cr apparently coming back, i see no reason not to say this now. it's not like the people who believe i'm full of shit can believe me any LESS.

for four months last year, i worked as a sensitivity consultant for critical role. i and a small team of collaborators approached them in may 2019, informing them that their treatment of marginalized identities in their work was unacceptable and calling for a commitment to doing better that matched their company's stated goals. at first, they were receptive.

i hear cr is being awful about the ball-eater joke again so it seems like a great time to say that i’m watching unsleeping city where they made two talking lion statues gay and boyfriends just because they could That Joke Was Never Funny And It Gets Less Funny Every Time They Make It After What Happened To Gay People In Their Fandom Last Year Thank You
