Reminder to those excited about the new Firefly animated show that Adam Baldwin is credited as the creator of the GamerGate hashtag and, in general, for taking part within the whole thing where he repeatedly targetted and doxxed women and LGBTQIA+ people within the games industry. Not to mention his continued and vocal support of Trump, etc. Supporting his reappearance in the aninated Firefly show is no different from supporting works by JK Rowling and other right wing creatives that have had a hand in creating the political and societal climate we currently find ourselves trapped in.

Additionally, Alan Tudyk has been quite happy to defend Joss Whedon and essentially boil down the multiple allegations by the women of the Buffy & Angel cast as a "he said/she said" thing: https://bleedingcool.com/tv/firefly-alan-tudyk-wants-joss-whedon-back-references-allegations/

@TheSunnyOne@eldritch.cafe to say nothing of Whedon's proclivities, who is not involved, but does he own the IP like Rosanne Barr?

@TheSunnyOne@eldritch.cafe theft is a valid form of consumption, and while I support stealing from shitty artists, it is hard to want to taint my fond memories of firefly with this fucks work.

@TheSunnyOne@eldritch.cafe how about instead of Firefly people watch The Expanse instead. Amos is way cooler than Jayne
