They could gain the bragging rights of ruining his career and tanking his show just as an example.

Wonderstorm can be 15 people, it can be 5 people but when it comes to story only the few who know the story inside and out know what's right or wrong for it. Maybe they were trying to push their own beliefs into characters, maybe the changes they wanted to add would have been so major that it wouldve curved the entire plot. As I mentioned in another thread, what could they have suggested to add to characters who are similar to them? The struggles theyve had growing up? The persecution theyve endured? The Dragon Princes world doesnt have bias against same sex relationships so anything they wanted to add would be shut down as it is irrelevant to the world they've created. If they kept pestering and insisting then it would cause frustration or jokes in response to their suggestions because would you simply allow someone to try and force you to change your story?

I dont know whose right or wrong. I dont assume hes a saint, but I'm also not going to assume hes sexist or manipulative without real proof. And before you say their comments are proof, all I read is an inexperienced unconfrontational boss not a "sexist gaslighter" and I myself am a woman. Maybe both sides are wrong, but assuming someones bad without evidence is just ignorant.

What fantasy world do you live in where people subject themselves to public harassment and put their careers on the line for “bragging rights”?

You've missed one thing, they dont get publicly harassed if people just assume they're telling the truth. Instead they get attention, comfort, and an angry mob on their side against whomever they're slandering.
Also their own careers are never on the line for it, because faking a crime somehow isnt a crime. The most that can happen is some people hate them for it, and some people still believe it so it's not much of a loss for them.

You...do not live in this world. I have never seen a woman come forward with accusations of someone famous and well liked and not be viciously harassed for it. And they are absolutely putting their careers in the line. Companies see that they came forward with accusations and they don’t want to hire someone who’s “a rabble rouser.”

I think you have three examples of what you've never seen right here at the top of this page. Have these three woman had the majority of the community "harass" them? No, most of us are simply keeping an open mind until given evidence. Or companies see someone who was "harassed and abused" and hire them on the dot to make themselves look better. I think you're the one who doesn't live in this world.
