Trigger warning: abuse, anorexia, assault
Some serious allegations, and she’s lawyered up, so I’m going with #BelieveWomen
Seems to be a lot of people on twitter that know him and have worked with him that are backing her too.

Why do people censor stuff when they are quoting someone?
What on earth is the censored word here?
“I think I love you too, f****t.”
Any guesses?

Probably a word used for a “bundle of sticks”

From having been a Nerdist listener, I’d guess “fuckwit”.

The podcasts pretty much covered the relationship - they met cosplaying the Doctor, they moved in together, he set her up with a cosplay show on the YouTube channel, things got difficult, she was ostracized. Her essay gives a fuller story, and and I can see both sides.
Emotional abuse is still abuse.

Haven’t clicked the link, because I haven’t even had my coffee yet and I know I’m not ready to deal with another fucked up account of abuse just yet.
But if true, file this one under I’m not at all surprised; Hardwick always gave me a low-profile ‘douchebag’ vibe in general.

Given the tone of her essay and the “statement” from Chris I’m inclined to believe every allegation, which makes me sad because the wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the silliness of At Midnight.
Two broken people can fuck up a lot of shit together, especially when one is an abusive controlling fuckwit.

There have been quite a few of Hardwick’s other acquaintances coming out to support the view that he’s a douche.

This is what Wil Wheaton said so far:
and his tweet about it:
Essentially nothing.
Seems like Felicia Day’s comment was similar, with her expressing concern for Dykstra.

Yup.
He’ll ignore it, continue posting memes and about other issues.
This is how abuse flourishes. Because people don’t want to think that their friends can treat others badly.
Cowards.

Yeah, it’s really disappointing, but I guess not surprising, either.
