These women are being put in an impossible situation. It's almost like the Hollywood/Harvey Weinstein/casting couch stuff, no one is forcing you to do it but if you don't somebody else will and you're going to be blacklisted. It's pretty **** because it's a problem only women ever seem to have to face

It may take a fan boycott in all honesty, either a planned one by people who oppose it, or a natural one because to be honest if fights keep going this way, I'd imagine people are just going to lose interest.
