I’m not defending or condemning him. To be honest I was unaware of any of his work before watching the Netflix series. I read the article you posted & my response was “oh look, another one.” All I’m saying is I’m not surprised at all this outrage culture since people can get offended by anything you do nowadays & you’ll be cancelled whether you’re guilty or not.
Too many people are of the mindset of “so-and-so did something scummy, and I also dislike his work, so screw him forever,” whereas at the same time “this other guy did something scummy, but i like his work, so he gets a pass.” Not accusing you of this, just saying generally. It’s just human nature, which is why I say I’m numb to a lot of stuff I hear/read nowadays
But on the other hand, people forget scandals as time goes by. All storms pass & we wait for the next scandal to latch onto. Like I said James Gunn made those horrendous tweets but people forgave him & he even got a bonus by directing movies for 2 competing companies. So everything is so volatile & wishy-washy, Warren Ellis might even get offered a deal to make another animated series, if he apologizes or not, who knows. He probably will, since the show has been getting relatively positive reviews [amongst the general public that aren’t die-hard fans like us] & has been renewed for another season
