[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 9237309, member: 2525"] First, as for the claim nobody is trying to rehab her image, [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/lorraine-williams-is-it-time-for-a-reevaluation.683454/']I think some people are in fact trying to rehab her image[/URL]. If you think this OP isn't accurately described as that, I'd sure like to know what your argument is beyond some sort of minor linguistic quibble. He's outright calling her a hero. Not just "not a villain" but she's the hero of that story (using that very word, "hero"). That to me is quite accurately described as trying to rehabilitate her image. An image which originally was top of the pile as the head of TSR, then took a deep hit once she left, and he's trying to restore that image to the top of the pile again as a hero. That's a rehabilitation of image cycle in a nutshell. Second, "multiple TSR alums verified she kept trophies of people she fired" isn't enough evidence to at least consider that she might have done that? Right now it seems to me the evidence she didn't do these things is "she's a woman and the men did some bad things too." That's, to me, not really anything beyond "be cautious." OK, that's wise to be cautious. But how many people saying she did something specific and bad is enough before people are all least going to feel free to discuss she might in fact have done that bad thing, regardless of other people being bad?
