Here's fatty's posts in that thread:

Interested in Marvel's response, if they have one. Because this…doesn't look good. At all.

Posted in the show thread:

X-Men 97 was one of the best things Marvel's done in YEARS, and a huge part of that was how unapologetically Queer it was.

So Marvel booting the Queer leading writer for essentially being Queer…well, does not bode well for the future of the show.

The thing is…if Disney were planning on being silent about this, they can't after that post.

Beau seems to want a fight here. Maybe he's a narcissist, or maybe he knows Marvel is in the wrong and is goading them into a public fight.

Either way, I can't imagine Disney/Marvel NOT responding.

To me, what immediately stands out is not the pride aspect of it alone. It's the pride + sexuality that I can VERY easily see Disney taking issue with.

Beau isn't just gay; he is gay and very sex positive, going by his social media.

We still aren't clear on what happened here, but Beau's implication is pretty clear to me, and I certainly believe that Disney would draw the line on Queerness + sex.

Yeah. I think people pointing out that Disney has "embraced" Pride content before are kind of missing what Beau is implying.

Disney BARELY likes depicting queer people even as sexless whitewashed caricatures. Here you have Beau, the lead writer on one of their most popular franchises, making it quite clear that he's not just gay, but that he fucks…hard. I don't see Disney vibing with that at all. And looking back, and I said this in the thread as the show was airing, one thing I remained surprised by in X-Men 97 was just how adult it was. It was blatantly queer, and blatantly sexual. That is uncharacteristic of Disney to be kind.

Again, it's clear we don't know the full story, we're still in speculation territory…but I'm picking up what Beau is putting down. If he's being truthful? It absolutely tracks.

Man, it's never lined up how chummy he still seemed with many of the creatives on the show, and I definitely could see Disney throwing their weight around when someone inserts some sexiness (intended for someone other than cishet white dudes) into the brand.

Honestly, that's one of the biggest reasons I think he might be closer to the truth than the whisper campaign against him (because lets be clear, nobody's come out and directly accused him of anything yet).

For someone who was apparently abusive to work with, he seems to be really chummy with a lot of people he worked with.

We'll see. Because I feel like Disney/Marvel is definitely going to respond to this.

For some reason he hasn't posted since Disney responded.

I'm pretty sure the show runner had a fucking only fans going. Please show me all the hetero show runners who have an only fans before you talk discrimination.
(Not that he was fired for this anyway)

Rockstar dropping Red Dead Redemption 2 like a hot potato is so crazy. Oh no, it's like the seventh best selling game of all time. Better not drop any expansions and just have meager online support. Making a 60fps patch or remaster for the new consoles, are you crazy? We'd only make millions of that

looking at GTA5 online expansions, the RDR2 expacs practically write themselves

run a gold rush company, visit it and watch your employees panning for gold and running pumps and stuff

start a stagecoach company

start a traveling sideshow PT Barnum style, sometimes your caravan gets attacked on the road and you have to defend it

They were reading all those doom, and gloom articles about single player being unsupportive, that they forgot what people enjoyed about their games in the first place.

Black myth wukong reviewing well, so much for the next resetera boycott

Don't suppose any of the reviews even mention in passing the horribly misogynistic devs?

No bitch, since that would have nothing to do with a GAME REVIEW.

Skipped to the last page and now that's all they're discussing.   Another productive review thread.

They really thought Disney, one of the gayest companies around, seriously fired some guy just because he was being fruity on twitter.

The first page of this thread looks insane. When will people learn? Stop letting blind hate for corporations lead you into obvious traps.

Sounds like some shit fat4all would do tbh

I'm waiting for Royalan's response. Maybe that's just gay culture and we're just homophobes for thinking it's bad

Saw the posts on Reddit about him sending nudes for "inspiration" but now the groping and abuse revelation really cements this guy as a scumbag.

Because sending co-workers unsolicited pornography didn't cement his scumbag status before? 

[malfoyking]

Yeah, Disney should have definitely kept him on. Definitely. Dumbass era fuckers.

[Cauliflower Of Love]

Let me put my  on, but if disney wants to get rid of someone and set them up they can.

[kaleidoscopium]

Weird how the youngest mod 😏 is so quiet on this now… shockingly so

[Polident]

Sounds like some shit fat4all would do tbh 

Beau DeMayo allegedly sent nude photos of himself in sexually suggestive “hero” poses to several young male staffers working on ‘X-MEN 97’, saying they could be used as “inspiration”

[HaughtyFrank]

At least the mods learned enough from Jussie to not instantly ban anyone who cast doubt on the guys story

[kaleidoscopium]

This is messyyyyy.

People are going to start getting pulled into this that probably don't want to have shit to do with it.

“Messy” is totally the appropriate way for a moderator to describe a sexual predator being caught. Totally.

Please cool it a bit on judging other people for their posts. We're all reading the updates together.

If this was the other way she would not be saying this at all lmao

[books]

Love a good backfire and watching all the diehards scurry off like roaches.

edit- This is me from yesterday.

"The Ree zoo kinda boring lately. Guess that's what happens when everyone that could play a foil to prominent members have been banned.

Didn't check, but I'm hoping a thread pops up on Blake Lively and her terrible pr."

I want to thank the gods for hearing my prayers. Marvel cross pollination because of Ryan Reynolds, but Marvel, X-Men, gay stuff, and backfire is absolutely better than I was hoping for.

[DocWager]

Suprised that nobody was banned for ”dismissing concerns”. Wait who am I kidding? Of course they wouldn’t, the mods are sexist, and racist. There is no equal judgement of discipline.

Is hating actors because of their roles an American thing?

I've never seen this in Europe. It seems crazy.

europe is so great, nothing bad ever happens in europe

Gonna be great when the drama takes a 360 spin, and turns out disney mafia was out for blood.

Rockstar never made expansions for these two games. Did they think it wouldn't make enough money?

GTA V has piles of expanded content and missions, its just all in GTA Online (which funny enough is now the official name of the game in the Xbox store. Single player is "GTA Online Story Mode" )

fwiw you can play it solo and there's cutscenes and such with the original voice actors (and for one of the expansions dr dre is a character lol).

Trash Dev makes a shitty overhyped game, congrats it’s a day ending in y. Hopefully the CEO loses his job, that'd be fun

[Daffy Duck]

expected, I love how so many people will believe anything a headline says without any critical thinking. You really think Disney fired the guy over a simple Instagram comment in support of Pride month? REALLY?!

Yes, yes I do think this because you are reading ResetEra, there’s no possible way a queer POC could ever commit any wrongdoing and it’s all the evil capitalist company they work for.

I think it's simpler than that. It's less that creepy people end up in positions of power disproportionately often, and more that when people abuse DO their power it does damage, while the people who don't are the default. The people who don't abuse their power don't make waves and don't merit mentions.

Like, when I was a young actor a decade or so ago, an artistic director tried to convince me to do "private" rehearsals for a play at his house and kept asking me how comfortable I was with nude work. He assumed that since I was a young actor who fit the classical twink look, I MUST have been cool with that stuff, and he asked about it repeatedly until I got so uncomfortable that I cut ties with the theatre for good and alienated a bunch of friends over it because I didn't want to talk about it in public.

Guess who this is lol

[Boredfrom]

sure. but if i were an admin of this forum, rather than saying "cool off on criticising people for making stupid kneejerk hot takes", i would consider saying "cool off on making stupid kneejerk hot takes" instead.

But you're not an admin.

Admins and the rest of staff are not and never have impressed by members who come back to these kinds of threads to chastise those who had the audacity to merely react to someone's claims of harm at face value. It's not even inherently a behavior that harms you or the discussion quality.

Knock off the metacommentary. That goes for everyone.
