Troubling, but to be honest I had always assumed the reason Aaron would want to start his own company would be to have ultimate creative control. A lot of people start their own companies for precisely that reason, to be their own bosses.

So if the core of the complaint is that they’re upset he overruled them in favor of his own ideas, I think that’s his prerogative. There’s an idea in this complaint that Aaron owes them a sort of deference in the case of female/LGBTQ plots that he failed to provide, which isn’t a philosophy I ascribe to.

If the issue is that he disrespected them because they were women, that’s a serious problem. If the issue is more the former, I’m more sympathetic to Aaron

Of course I’m only just learning about this now, so I could be missing information.

Just because you are LGBT staff in an ASSISTANT writer position, that does not mean all you say is gold either.
