Dose shitty sexism abuse etc happen in the Media because everyone is a Freelance?
No, not everyone is freelance, freelancers generally have more freedom to say what they think but you're not part of the machine so you're not going to take this to HR.
The problems in TV are a result of the 'talent' being treated like superstars, some people understand it's all bollocks and complete luck they're in the position and others start to believe their devine right to rule.
There are plenty of industries with the same power dynamics and problems but they're not beamed into your home everyday

I've endured extreme cuntiness from several people who I suspected were autistic.
Tbh, your intuitions mean fuck all, autism is very difficult to diagnose and even if the people who were cunts to you were on the spectrum, that doesn't mean, that it was the reason for that behaviour. People have 'learned' that autistic people don't understand social cues and behaviours and extrapolated that socially unacceptable behaviour can be explained away by saying 'they must be on the spectrum'. It's both lazy and offensive.
. I just don't know where to start with someone whose default setting is Cunt when they don't seem to be aware of it.
You have no clue that they have zero awareness of it, but what you are hearing is people throwing the idea around because it gives him an out.
Greg's jokes are typical building site/squaddy humour. But he's never twigged that they don't fly in other settings.
They did fly, for 20 years, he's been the big swinging dick for so long and hadn't been called out for it before now. It's fuck all to do with autism and everything to do with power dynamics and everyone being too scared to say anything.

Finished off the last couple of bottles of Lasseaux champagne over the weekend, I can't recommend them highly enough, certifiable bangers all of them.
The blanc de blancs is probably the best champagne my wife and I have ever had. She's French so you don't just have to rely on the recommendation of a gravy drinking Yorkshireman.
Ordered a couple of boxes to the in laws for Christmas, get involved people, still time to get those christmas orders in!
