AIBU to think it's despicable in this day and age that there are potentially at least FIVE OTHER (alleged) male sexual predators high up in the British comedy industry?
If they can cancel Glinner at the height of his career for alleged (non-) "crimes", that shows it IS possible to utterly cancel these predators and they're not doing it. If you've ever been in any doubt about whether cancel culture is just a way of silencing people who disagree with the TWAW kool aid, take note that none of these predatory comedians have been cancelled because their crimes only affect women.
Everyone in the industry knows who they are and they just let them continue. What does that say to prospective comedians? Women don't matter. We don't need women in comedy. Women should stay away from comedy unless you can hold your own and physically fight off an entitled male, and if you do manage to fight him off, you'll probably never work again.
I'd hate to think I've ever spent a PENNY buying tickets to line the pockets of someone who behaves like this.
Why can't men just not do this? Police themselves? Push out the men who behave like this so they find themselves without friends, colleagues, audiences and money instead of ostracising the victims by doing nothing? And doing nothing IS ostracising the victims because few women would keep showing up to after parties to network, enter competitions, do panel shows etc when known abusers are there as well.
I love comedy. This isn't what women should expect nor have to put up with.
