More than 60 people shared their accounts of Warren Ellis. Their next steps are worth your time.

So the Warren Ellis thing looks like exactly what I said it was: some admittedly sleazy dude dates and has sex with a bunch of women who are also using him to boost their careers — careers aren’t boosted as much as hoped, and now they are angry.

He didn’t assault or rape anyone. He didn’t coerce anyone as most people would understand it. The “power imbalance” seems self-chosen to me.

What a waste of everyone’s time. Romantic disappointment sucks, but it’s not worth this much of anyone’s effort and it shouldn’t be a crime. I feel bad for Ellis and his self-deluded followers and paramours. What a bunch of numpties, all of them.
