It's entirely possible the allegations aren't true! However, it's equally possible they are. We don't know until more comes out.

If you're a comic dude, don't post stuff like this. Let the investigation happen and then make a statement. Immediately dismissing allegations is a big reason why people get away with so much stuff in this industry.
Gerry Duggan responds to Ed Brubaker allegations: It'd be easy to be quiet, but I don't believe any of that shit about Ed Brubaker. Allegations are just that until proven. Not looking to chat about it. Have a good night.

The YouTube-to-Horror Feature Filmmaker pipeline is very real, but we must acknowledge who has access to it in the first place. YouTube is not a democratized platform, and we're doing the next generation of creatives a disservice by pretending it is www.slashfilm.com/2181604/back...

With all the buzz about YouTube creators becoming successful horror filmmakers, it's time to have a difficult conversation about YouTube as a platform.

My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.
Young adult happiness is falling. Percent of young people who are pretty or very happy has dropped from 88% to 76% over the last 15 years after having held fairly steady between 1980 and 2010
