She was responsible for the organization as a whole, she saw the kind of toxic treatment and bullying and she was aware of the working conditions, and she didn't do anything about it. It was her responsibility as the person in charge of the whole thing to take that kind of thing seriously, and she didn't. That's a bad thing to do. It is bad. Shitty workplace cultures are bad and she, as the person in overall charge of the workplace, allowed it to be shitty and enabled people who were bullies.

I don't see, at all, how the reaction is ludicrous.

I think it's bizarre to fixate on her just because she's the biggest name involved instead of the people who were actually guilty of harassing or demeaning their subordinates.

Because a person at the top overlooking and excusing toxic behavior is how toxic behavior is able to exist and continue for long periods of time. And because we in this country are already far too inclined to give powerful people passes for things like this, especially ones that are celebrities, and far too willing to just shrug our shoulders and not care about the rights of workers.

Are the harassing, demeaning executives more morally culpable than Ellen, yes, absolutely. But Ellen is also morally culpable. And if we want to have a culture that actually takes the rights of workers seriously, we have to hold people in Ellen's position accountable for failures like this, not just let them off the hook as if it's "just a few bad apples".
