Disappointed

[closetmickey]

Good thing I start vacation on Friday. I can catch up on the content on the site that shall not be named.

Any clues to find the site that shall not be named?

Pete Werner Chinese food.

I’ll give it a try! But I’m often way too literal…

I’m not sure if I can say this, but I hope as this website considers a path forward the tight censorship on website postings, links, and other content can be reevaluated. That may be too much to hope for, but I am hopeful that a new order or organization would at least be willing to look at those policies.

I wonder if you've ever been homeless. Many people put up with many things to meet their basic needs. My experience is that when people are "sure" they'd never put up with abuse, they haven't had a lot of experience needing to do whatever it takes to stay alive, housed, fed. That's not always true - but I've worked in both DV/Sexual Assault orgs and with Homelessness and that has been a pretty clear through-line.

Everyone is built differently -I’m not saying it’s unusual to accept such behavior to survive, I’m saying just as many people in that same situation wouldn’t accept that behavior. Some might be genetic, some upbringing, some events through the course of life.

I am Sean Faulk. I made a new account because idk my old account but I made the name the same to match.

**** you Charles. If anyone wants to go to ‘that site’ and see my account of Charles Bodas treatment of me is welcome to do so because my story hasn’t changed in over a year.

Charles treated me like absolute dirt the entire time he worked there. I did NOTHING to Charles and he ridiculed me, judged me, tried to get me fired, made fun of me having to be an escort and trashed my name to anyone that would listen.

All while actively knowing what was going on, he admits it himself. He also admits that he kept quiet to better his own situation. Somehow ‘fat shaming’ is the final straw for him?

This is a man who ‘loves his co-workers’ and ‘had to check to make sure he wasn’t filmed in the bathroom’ but he had no problem throwing me to the wolves and for what gain? Money? Gifts? Housing? Jewelry?

Maybe being an escort made me deserve what Pete did in his view. Ultimately, he has sympathy for 1 person here.

Y’all wanted to trash Craig, ryno, Corey and everyone else because you THOUGHT they knew, Charles actively knew.

I’ve been posting for a year that Charles was awful and this backs it up.

Charles, if you can see this far down off that high horse you live on - you’re a cuck.

Just want to say Sean I fully support you. Been following on the other site for awhile but could never create account over there. You and Dustin deserve justice and I’m glad to hear you two are in much better places.

My last comment before I sign off for a bit - I feel like this whole situation (but in particular, people's connections to the on-air talent and support of them in spite of allegations that would normally hold great weight) speaks to the problem with parasocial relationships. I recognize some people have real friendships with these folks - but there are also folks who, and I do it too in other settings and have to try to be mindful of it, see someone on camera and think - I like the cut of their jib, they must be a good person and do things the way I'd do them and we'd get along or banter back and forth. On-air personalities are personalities and giving so much power to them, especially when faced with multiple examples of bad behavior (that hasn't been denied, by the way), is disconcerting. I just had to go through a training module about digital media literacy and it feels so relevant here. I really hope that folks who are so dismissive (and this is mostly on another thread) and fawning over some people with power can honestly mentally grapple with the real life people actually harmed by this. I could not have imagined seeing people say that sexual assault of employees (multiple) is "silly."

"Off the rails" indeed.

I think that your assertion isn't backed up by the lived experiences of people who've gone through abuse, sexual assault, etc. There is no indication that "just as many people" would not accept abuse or actions that break consent as people who "accept" it. I'm not trying to convince you - you're clearly already determined that you are of a particular subset of people. I'm saying this for anyone who went through abuse and wondered if they somehow didn't do enough to stop it.

The responsibility of people to stop abuse is on the person perpetrating abuse. Full stop.

If you're someone wrestling with this, please visit sites like: https://www.domesticshelters.org/ar...-believe-they-re-responsible-for-ending-abuse

and

If you've faced a breach of consent and stopped it - congrats. Now, help others who had a different experience.

Ok - I wasn't going to get frustrated with the lack of an statement from the company - I figured they needed to consult lawyers or whatever.

But -- A blog post hidden under "uncategorized"? Not even in the blog feed on the home page or social media. It's clear they are trying to hide it.

I wish OP would change the format of this thread title to "DISappointed."

Lollol, if I can figure out how to change it I will.

LOL. Yeah I noticed that. It made me smirk when John’s forum post said that no doubt we had already seen his statement - what you mean the one you just posted in some unknown uncategorized blog area?

Sean had written this on the site that can't be named...i'm so curious of who he's referring to:

(The quoted part here is another poster on the forum asking Sean this question )

Yea everyone else was cordial with me. Charles was really the only one that openly didn’t care for me. I think others were worried about my situation with Pete, but it was moreso how it affected them. I remember getting approached by a staff member (won’t say who) and them reminding me that if I reported Pete/sued him that I wasn’t just hurting Pete, I would be hurting everyone because they would all lose their jobs.

A lot of people cautioned Pete that he should be more careful around me because I was the most likely to go public and they were 100% correct and I even told Pete at the time that they were right because I would go public when the time was right and he laughed it off and thought I was kidding.

------------------------

On first glance, you might think Kevin or John, but by Sean and Dustins accounts, they are great guys. And they also both have nothing bad to say about Craig/Corey/Ryno.
I have a hard time thinking it's Teresa. Seems SO out of character. Is he referring to Charles here, despite referring to him in the previous sentence?

Sean later clarified this. I don’t want to paraphrase so I’ll see if I can find it.


Umm …if my boss does what DW described, I’m looking for a new job in the morning. PERIOD. So you’re telling me you’d stay???
I am sure it’s hard to understand how another reacts in situations of assault and trauma but I prefer to instead listen to their story and have sympathy of the situation they were in. There is no right or wrong way to react to something like that.

Current events make Pete’s political rants about Desantis so hypocritical.

Between that move, no mention of what actually occurred in either statement, FB being heavily moderated, and the Webmasters in here kicking it up a notch, I can't imagine the type of unfiltered discussion that's occurred the last week is going to continue for long.

Pete Werner Chinese food.

Yep, you can’t just Google “Pete Werner” as there is an NFL linebacker with the New Orleans Saints who has that name (and I can’t help wondering if he is aware of his namesake’s shenanigans). “Pete Werner amex” also works.

Let’s not get political right now maybe? There has been enough pain in our online community over the last week already.

I'm late to the game. Haven't kept up on DIS in a while since I don't have any plans to visit FL anytime soon and they don't do much with Disneyland. Wow. There's a lot to take in. I feel like there's a lot we still don't know and I'm not really sure what that means for DIS as a whole, but I really feel for everyone directly affected by this.

I wouldn't be surprised if the forums, FB, and any other affiliated websites/services are frozen for a bit due to investigations. Something similar happened in another completely unrelated group I belong to and the FB group is still frozen almost a year later due to ongoing investigations. So, I'll be reading all I can about all this now before I can't anymore.

I don’t think I’d stay. But I also haven’t been subjected to months of grooming, emotional manipulation, and stuck overseas.


My god. He specifically chose to do these acts ONLY while overseas. Do you have any idea how much money it costs to book a last minute international ticket?

Now imagine paying that as a broke 24 year old.

Your empathy meter appears to be broken.

Here was Sean’s clarification posted on the site that shall not be named.

“ I missed it earlier when people addressed it but I wanted to clarify. The tone and conversation of
‘Not coming forward’ with another worker sounds more nefarious than it was. It was more of a ‘we’re both having trauma and we understand the real life implications of talking about’ not like a threatening - don’t come forward cause I want to keep a paycheck.

I don’t know where my original statement was but I apologize if it sounded more negative than I meant it. It’s hard to have tone in a text. The statement was made to me, But I just don’t want it to sound like someone was intimidating me - if I said it felt that way i would’ve called them out by name. I didn’t give their name to protect them because I know they also have their own trauma (not the same as mine but trauma none the less, but it’s not my story to tell)”

 

[SheSingsAlong]

Everything has felt sideways since I first saw a thread on these boards (quickly deleted of course) talking about the horrors of revelations from former DIS employees. The Site Which Shall Not Be Named is a very rough place, so much **** throwing just because they can. I felt on guard and defensive reading the posts from Sean and Dustin. Were these usernames even actually them??

But as I read, so many red flags from my DisUnplugged viewing experience clicked into place. I've been keeping up with the news as best I can, but haven't posted until now. I think a part of my brain wanted all of this to be some terrible dream. An awful misunderstanding or outright lies. And not because I even doubted the stories (once I was past my initial shock and knee jerk defensiveness), but more because...who wants to feel they were SO duped?? So taken up with the false presentation.

But John Magi finally making a statement has forced it all to sink deeply in. The world of DisBoards, DisUnplugged, etc became my safe space during the pandemic. And now it doesn't feel safe. It feels gross and scary. I don't know if I can stay, but I don't want to go. The community here is wonderful and helpful. And I love Craig and Ryno on the podcast.

My head continues to swim with these thoughts. For Dustin, Sean, Charles, and all others who have been hurt: I hurt with you and for you. I pray that positive things can come out of all of this for each of you and not just pain from remembering and reliving your trauma.

ah, got it. Im still making my way through them. I got the big stuff, but im just skimming thru for more context of other stuff.
