If @MagnumPhotos was hoping to regain any shred of faith from the public, hard misses like this from members - especially amidst silence otherwise - only proves how real tribalism is within powerful agencies, how often they are missing the point, and why real change is so hard.

A supremely bad take here, but I'm not shocked. Same thing happened w/ VII after Kratochvil was called out. Even for hearts that initially feel in the right place, loyalty and self preservation trumps all. Any valid demands for continued accountability become seen as attacks.

'duckrabbit and his devotees'. @drakeycake your agency @magnumphotos has been outing child abuse survivors, labelling kids 'prostitutes', and outing kids as HIV. But never mind any of that my real problem is you voted a woman President? 🤦🤦🤦

It always sucks for non-complicit women / new members who have to pay the price for decades of enablement & mistakes of others. It isn't fair, but you can thank DAH & your complicit colleagues for that. It's another layer of consequence & pain that stems from serial abuse.

Just as its a choice to join a fancy agency, its always a choice to leave when you find out how broken & toxic it is. Everything is always a choice. Throwing a fit & pointing fingers at the messenger who is seeking accountability is a choice that only further proves the point.

The evidence presented by @duckrabbitblog is overwhelming & undeniable, whether you like how he says it or not. If all of this anger was directed where it belonged - on the decisions of powerful folks that got us here over decades - maybe we'd finally get to see some real change.

Lastly - For those it isn't obvious to, the gender of a CEO should have no bearing on the responsibility they hold to do their job. The whataboutism of Drake's argument only serves to derail/distract from the actual concerns, and how misunderstood those are from Magnum's side.
