  Because it’s healthy to read and understand the thinking of the people who disagree with you.

  If their arguments are irrational and the information they use is incorrect, you will get a better insight of how they came to forming their wrong views. It can help you avoid doing the same, and it can help you in arguing for your position.

  On the flip side, if you find that their arguments are solid and based on facts, you might be convinced to change your wrong views.

  I don’t see how being a public figure should any difference to what I stated. Besides appeasing the crowd, I suppose, which isn’t a good reason to do anything.

  No, you’re a normal person.

  The internet politics have just turned to rabid purity testing, where even reading what the opposition (of any issue) says is considered endorsement and betrayal.

  A sane person will look abnormal in an insane asylum. And I don’t know how to better describe Twitter than an insane asylum.

  But let’s just go even further. He was on the podcast of Shawn Stevenson. The first podcast episode I found of Shawn Stevenson regarding COVID cites in the episode transcript, among others, Geert Vanden Bossche, who advised stopping all mass-immunizations for COVID and has written all kinds of crazy, grammatically-and-factually erroneous content on COVID.

  I don’t care about Zach Levi whatsoever, but this has to be the biggest reach I’ve seen.

  So he was on a podcast, of which the host, in a different episode that did not include him, cited a person who has at some point advised stopping mass-immunizations for COVID (from what you said, I interpreted thats not the statement he cited).

  When you’re 3 levels of guilt by association deep, it seems like you’re just grasping at straws to support your position.

  WAG can go fuck themselves for stealing the role of Angel Dust from Michael Kovach who has poured so much time and effort into bringing the character to life.

  But here comes WAG and stronghands away what he has worked so hard for, something that could have been a big career break for him, because he’s not part of WAG without offering to onboard him.

  Creating that level of injustice under the guise of protecting voice actors is one of the most disgusting things I’ve witnessed in my life.

  Michael Kovach is a saint for being graceful about it and having the restraint not to go nuclear on social media.

  It’s just another ultra corrupt Hollywood clique that fucks over upcoming independent creators. I sincerely hope WGA is blacklisted by every studio until every member is forced to leave and it doesn’t exist anymore.

  I’m fairly certain executives don’t get residuals, they are salaried employees.

  Sounds like the person worked for either free or very cheap in the hopes of advancing in the industry and getting big payouts.

  Ironically, they probably took place of someone who stood their ground and demanded upfront pay.

  The problem will persist as long as there is a supply of people who are willing to work for free or cheap.

  This is very similar to video game development industry. There is a large pool of developers who are passionate about games and are willing to work for cheap with poor working conditions. The only real solution has been to dissuade new developers from trying to enter that niche and work in a different area with double pay and better conditions.
