Anything of value that she mentioned is already covered by other sources

Sorry, did you say "their pace is too fast" or "their pace is too grab ass?" I'm having a bit of a hard time coping with excessive amounts of "chill" around this situation so maybe I misread.

I get that abuse of employees and sexism and sexual harassment and assault toward women in particular are normal but can we not accept this shit as normal? ... I write, slowly coming to the realization that clearly most people don't want to care, don't see a difference between something that's dramatic and something that's "just drama," can't bear to let some poor rich boy take any kind of heat, he's such a nice guy, c'mon bro, just chill, he said he'll do better, look, he does charity don't you like charity and 🤮Fuck it, I'm out of here.

You are correct to call me out on this. I edited my comment to clarify that I've now read her whole thread and her complaints are valid. The detail she provided with the frat-bro culture and sexual harassment is entirely unacceptable and I have no reason not to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Also, to clarify the part you quoted, I was not trying to downplay Madison's perspective at all. By "anything of value that she mentioned" I was primarily referring to the rushed production schedule, which is what I got mostly from my original read since that is what she focused on first.
