Misconduct List
Just going to keep things simple With MeToo going on, its hard to keep track of who has been accused of sexual misconduct or has committed violence against a woman, with it seeming like a new revelation constantly popping up of a famous individual. And certain industries like comics and video games its constantly under reported. Or if the accuser is a POC, it gets forgotten almost instantly. So to make things a bit easier, this is meant to keep track of who has been accused, of what, etc so to keep informed so we don’t unknowingly support a scumbag. … Continue reading Misconduct List
Special Topic: Aziz Ansari
In light of the accusations against Aziz Ansari (Found here: https://babe.net/2018/01/13/aziz-ansari-28355) I thought it would be nice to keep all of the conversation in one place, as these things can be triggering. So let’s keep the conversation about this topic here and WARN FOR ANY SPECIFICALLY TRIGGERING IMAGERY. Please and thank you. As an additional note: Defending Ansari’s alleged behavior as ‘normal’, victim shaming or playing devil’s advocate about the situation here will not fly. This is still the Avocado and we don’t do that kind of thing here. Continue reading Special Topic: Aziz Ansari

Assault and Harassment: Our Pasts and Our Futures
The last few weeks have brought a lot of ugly things to light in terms of men being outed as harassers and worse who have influence over everything from politics to entertainment. A lot of these men may be people we don’t like (Roy Moore was a horrible person before we found out about what he did/does to underaged girls) but some of them aren’t (Jesus Christ, George Takei, Jesus Christ). Many of us here at the Avocado have taken this opportunity to look at our own behavior and past with clearer vision, but this past behavior isn’t something we … Continue reading Assault and Harassment: Our Pasts and Our Futures
