Sexual Harrasment Scandal At DC
 

http://www.bleedingcool.com/2016/04/...ry-takes-note/

First the editor of the Superman line, now another currently unidentified senior editor has been implicated in more scandal

Disgusting.

May he be dismissed post haste, and let's throw Lobdell out with him.

As a comic geek, I typically hate to typecast comic geeks as sex-starved, socially awkward weirdos, but we've already talked here in various other threads about the state of the comics industry and the "dork age." The inmates have taken over the asylum, and those nerds are the ones running things now. Therefore, they are responsible for the status of that industry.

No one--especially someone with clear talent and discipline like that of Katie Jones--should ever have to be in a position where they fear working for a comics company because they'd have to deal with that kind of harassment.

On the other hand, this passage from the article got me thinking, too:

The sad truth of it is, this isn't new.
It's all been going on for a very long time.

Welcome to the background radiation.

I know Berganza well, that f*cker. Two Comic-Cons he was snatching up women right in front of me (remember Summer, plastron?). One of which I know he baited with promises of getting her a job as a colorist, which he did... and now she doesn't work there anymore, after he fell out of favor (or maybe she started saying "no").

I do indeed!
Ugh, he's gross. So so gross.

So has anybody ever pressed charges against this guy? It seems to be common knowledge at DC that he has these tendencies, which would apparently make it easy to find witnesses.

Well...I guess I'll make plans not to work for DC if I complete my aspiration to work as a colorist.

Even if making your dreams come true only cost you a sweaty night or two with this man?

DC has been a tyranny for about a decade now, a boys club of a$$holes who scratch each other's backs and have no interest in promoting quality storytelling. Sexually harassing some chick? We got your back, as long as you're toeing the company line. When guys like Chuck Dixon and Mark Waid are pushed out, something is amok.

Indeed.

The guy in the photo looks pretty nasty.

That's him, that's Berganza. He's kinda like...

Well, it's a start.

wow!!! how utterly putrid!!!

demoted? sounds like the guy needs to be brought up an charges?

DC issue a statement regarding a review and expansion of policies in light of the scandal.

What is so special about this Berganza guy that they haven't fired him yet? Especially with this documented history of allegations?

He is, at the very least, a PR nightmare for both DC and WB at this point.

Looks like Berganza is out for the moment.

DC Group Editor EDDIE BERGANZA Suspended Following New Allegation Details

Not really. He's just suspended for the moment, probably with pay.
