I initially thought he was a pretty good captain. However, after rewatching the latest season, how he mishandled Ben really threw me off. Ben is literally 45 years old, texting Jason whenever an issue arises. This, to me, is very manipulative, a way to shape the narrative before someone else can, and it actually worked on Captain Jason many times throughout the season. It's also a way Ben can disregard other HODs by going over their heads and getting permission from Jason while neglecting to inform the actual HODs. Ben is like a teenage boy running to his daddy about every little issue that shouldn't even involve oversight.

What really pissed me off is Captain Jason stating that pet names directed towards women are a term of endearment. He could've taken the opportunity to actually name the issue: calling women, or anyone, pet names in a professional setting is belittling, undermining, and extremely misogynistic. The fact that the misogyny was chalked up to "cultural differences" was utter bullshit. A 45-year-old man KNOWS that it isn't acceptable; Ben is a prime example of arrested development.

Captain Jason ditched his professionalism when he joined Ben in his robe to make stakes together. Again, felt like a manipulation tactic from Ben. Treat the boss one way to skew how he views Ben, so Ben can continue with his horrible behavior with the crew when Jason doesn't see it.

The biggest red flag for me is that Ben, a 45-year-old, admitted to kissing Jenna, a 21-year-old at the time, and Captain Jason didn't at all see that as inappropriate. As an HOD, you shouldn't be involving yourself with junior staff; that's just plain unprofessional. Besides, if you're a grown-ass man who only gets along with women who don't even have a fully developed brain, barely adults, there is something deeply wrong with you. It's predatory, period.

Captain Jason consistently reprimanded the female staff. It wasn't hard to tell Ben was the common denominator in most issues, yet he didn't nip that in the bud so it wouldn't continue all season. Instead, he walked on eggshells to keep Ben calm and therefore was unable to address any of Ben's wrongdoings.

I've always hated Ben, and it amazes me anyone is actually a fan of him. He acts the most immature out of all of the staff. And his fake crying pisses me off too lol. Dude has spent his whole life as an entitled man child. I hope Captain Jason never hires him again.

You know what hits so good on a hot summers day? JAMBA JUICE. A treat that fills you up and doesn't make you feel as guilty as fast food? JAMBA JUICE. I'm begging some rich person to open one in EC (I'd say Chippewa Falls cuz that's where I live, but I know that's even more unrealistic lol). I'm dying for a smoothie all the time, and we don't have anything around. I'm really tired of the fast food options. The only other places that have smoothies are expensive health shop places. The hole in the market needs to be filled. PLEASE. I can't be the only one..

Someone else already mentioned this, but YouTube has an option for reporting due to eating disorders for a reason. This music video normalizes an emaciated body. Whether she wants to or not, her influence impacts millions of girls and young women.

I never liked or disliked her, but as she has showcased her ED time and time again even in a children's movie I became more enraged. This isn't even about Ariana it's about all the children and women who see her body and think it's normal, glamorize it, and attempt to obtain the same look. We cannot let this be normalized as a society. This level of emaciation on full display is beyond harmful for everyone. I cannot believe YouTube has condoned a video like this. It is so harmful to pretend to act like this is fine, or that any opposition is "hating on a woman's body". I cannot believe this dystopian view. At this point, she is complicit and promoting EDs.

Please, for the sake of everyone, report the video.
