A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Hmmmm you got some primary sources for those claims? Not saying you are wrong. It's just the first time I've heard this.
I had a brief look around and these accusations seem to originally come up in a leaked script for an episode of the Duexmoi gossip podcast. Some of the responses to the accusations can be found in this Vulture article, but there's not a lot in it. As they state, "everybody involved in The Witcher is [...] playing nice on the record." So... *shrug*. Very disappointing if true, but no one's confirming anything...
He’s missing the “controversy” section on his Wikipedia. Which is my litmus test of how big are your red flags
Huh? So a lack of mention of controversy with sources to back it up is a red flag to you? Weird.
No, you're reading that backwards somehow. A lack of controversy section shows that there are no good sources and the red flags are not that big.
You’re right, apologies.
Yeah, that Gene Wilder is an asshole because he doesn't have "controversy" in his wiki.
I'd seen this all multiple places before but doing a quick search here is a source on the most recent round of Netflix and superman stuff

Personally I think a lot of this is overblown. Specifically the not wanting shirtless scenes and stuff is a personal thing that's up to the comfort of the actor. The bits I don't like are harassing women and his previous comments about the MeToo movement which make me far more likely to believe the current accusations against him.
posting the same link over and over doesn't really help your case bud
I replied to each comment that asked for a source with a source. Seemed like the best way to make sure everyone that wanted to be notified got notified.
The commenter asked for a primary source, which I'm also interested in. Does one exist?
Yes, I included it in the original comment in an edit but just in case that was missed, I'll also include it here.
This is an excerpt from a podcast in which someone from the set described their experience:
This was also mentioned in the article but honestly they did such a poor job showcasing it I'm not surprised it was missed at all.
The primary source is a leaked podcast script from a podcast run by an anonymous celebrity gossip Instagram account which was posted on reddit. This is basically the journalist equivalent to using 4chan green-text as a citation. The article, which fails to verify anything, is a year and a half old and not a soul related to the production has corroborated any part of it in that time.
No official statement was made about why Cavill is no longer on The Witcher. I wouldn't doubt that he was being difficult on set considering his love of the source material and how little the show respected it. I also wouldn't be surprised to find out his contract just ran out and neither party was interested in renegotiating.
James Gunn has specificly said, on thar record, that Cavill wasn't fired. The next Super Man is just going to be younger. After how badly Black Adam flopped, I'm not surprised they're taking the DCU in a different direction.
So he was, according to one claim, disrespectful to the people who were disrespecting fans and his wishes to make a faithful adaptation.
I see no problems here.
Oh and saying it’s a ‘problem’ that he didn’t want to perform sex scenes for misandrist show runner and writers isn’t a negative. He stood up for himself.
I 100% agree with that last part. I think it's a good thing he stood up for himself and how he wanted to be displayed/treated on screen.
