Warren Ellis unreservedly admitted what happened, with the only out he gave himself being he didn't realise he had any position of power.
He doesnt go into specifics, just apologised for everything and deplatformed himself
Did he admit that he offered to help or threaten to damage a career upon refusal? Because that's the sticking point for me.
He used the get out of blanket apologizing for everything, but that initial get out clause of "I had no idea" which has stuck in everyone's craw. Again that one person I watch Zoetica found the apology lacking to put it nicely.
"The truly odious aspect of the Warren Ellis "apology" are the bits about not manipulating anyone. He's engaged in an escalating, decades-long pattern of grooming and 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 manipulating (often vulnerable) women toward dependence and complete submission."
And
"Warm thanks to everyone who's reached out to offer support and encouragement. The past 48 hours have been... Dark. There are over 50 of us sharing our experiences with Warren Ellis now. Learning the degree of what's been done to some of the others is nothing short of harrowing."
It's not one or two, if we are talking 50 women its a deliberate pattern of behavior. I suspect they have more to say on this in response to his damage control attempt.
