Why It's Important to Support Ray Fisher
Smashing the System That Protects the Guilty
By: K.Valley
Knowing he could lose everything Ray Fisher accused Joss Whedon of abuse. In spite of the attacks the studio launched against him, Ray let it be known that responsibility for the gross misconduct also included executives higher up than Whedon.
A man of words, and stories, Whedon has not uttered a single one to date. Perhaps he’s hoping the storm clouds will move past and a new front-page story will emerge.
Of course, there’ll be fresh news, Harry and Meghan’s being the most recent and popular. Their story affirming the close ties between power and racism. In spite of Black Lives Matter, and the political currency of cultural diversity — the big concern was how dark their child’s skin would be.
Power isn’t interested in diversity or cultural awakening, its primary concern is its own protection and continuance.
This is what Ray Fisher stood against. A system paying lip service to solving its issues. Really, one that has no authentic desire to shift how it functions.
