I don't get why they keep working there. I've has some major jackass bosses. You only get to treat me like crap for so long.
As previously stated above, I think it boils down to job security.
Hollywood is made of a lot of networking, and leaving a job because of a predatory boss or coworker and saying something about it, can mean killing one's career, especially for a woman.
"You'll never work in this town again!'
A whistle blower is most likely to be branded a complainer and liar, which may or may not be true, and thus be consider a liability if hired.
So it doesn't surprise me at all, that there are people who "love" Whedon.
I've seen many domestic abuse victims back when, who didn't want to "press charges".
The drill was police responded to a call, saw the woman, beaten, bruised, scraped, (I personally never knew of a male victim), and a report made with pics taken of the injuries.
The suspect would be arrested, booked, and jailed, and usually released after making bail, and OR'ed by the courts.
The victim was then to go to the DA and file a complaint to actually charge the suspect with battery or aggravated assault.
But in actuality, the victim seldom had the attacker arrested, so no jail, no bail.
In most of the cases where the suspect was arrested, the victim wouldn't go to the DA, so charges were filed.
The universal reasons were "I love him, he promised to change" or "It'll just be worse for me when he gets out".
In either case, the victim chose to remain a victim for reasons most cops and legislators were not capable of understanding.
Eventually, CA enacted Domestic Violent laws where a cop is required to arrest a suspect when there's evidence of physical abuse, relieving the victim of some decision making, and often if not always resulting a charge of DV.
Someone physically beaten chooses to stay because they have no resources, and is often believed to be the cause, and is often fearful for their life, and in no small part emotionally cowed.
So it doesn't surprise me in the least that people would tend to stomach as much as they can, short of being beaten, to protect a career.
Then you have the Tinas of the world who leave their abuser a credit card and 36¢ and make a new life for themselves.
Not everyone can pull that off.
I get the reasons why people do what they do. Kids, houses etc. I needed my jobs just as much as they did if not more. At least cuss the m'fucka out. I've had actual fights. They should be "more" angry that they didn't step up for themselves. I can't stand bullies. People that take advantage of others need to get their asses handed to them.
