John Lasseter to Leave Disney at the End of the Year

Dude, you're making it sound like he was just being affectionate with some people at work instead of actively making people uncomfortable or violating personal boundaries. He'd put his hand on women's legs if they were wearing skirts and try to wander upward. It happened again and again. It sucks to lose a creative, but it is what it is.

Unlike Walt Disney, John will still be alive to appoint his successor and outline future company strategy after losing his head position--
Hopefully, he'll pick someone better than Walt did with Ron Miller.

The whole point of this "Me too" movement and the reactions to it, is to virtue signal to conservatives and let them know that they'll be next. The entirety of all the men that have been accused are pretty much all Democrats.

In third wave feminism, men aren't even allowed to so much as look at women, lest they be accused of sexual harassment.

There was a bunch of other actors and directors in Hollywood that have been accused of worse but they are still making movies. The problem is that John Lasseter was a good fit for the feminist oppressor narrative, he worked for one of the most politically correct Hollywood studios, and he apologized which only confirmed his guilt. I have no doubt that Hollywood is filled with depraved hedonistic sociopaths but it looks to me like John Lasseter was used as the equivalent of a sacrificial lamb.

You're defending a proven molester because you like his cartoons. Heaven forbid you or someone you love winds up working for someone like him. This is not a matter of feminism. He put his hands on his employees. Male or female makes absolutely no difference here. There is no justifying his actions. He deserves to be fired just like anyone else that would commit this acts.

So an unnamed “insider” telling the Hollywood Reporter that Lasseter was known for “grabbing, kissing, making comments about physical attributes.” makes him a proven molester? The other unnamed source credited as ‘long time employee’ said he was known to hug other employees, I guess you’re going with the uncredited unnamed source from an entertainment gossip website for your proof.

Maybe comments like these are why women can only come forward anonymously.

But then who will stand next to Hayao Miyazaki and make him look really uncomfortable?

I really wish this didn't happen. This man helped make my childhood with his animated films. Plus he helped bring Disney Animation back on its feet after the end of the Eisner era. But even without his presence at Disney and Pixar, all the animators and artists in those studios have learned so much from him that they can continue on making great animated films. I don't believe John Lasseter will be the same after this and only time will tell what kind of person he will become as he takes this new direction in life.

Years from now, I hope people can forget about all of this.
