I'm shocked that Joss Whedon fucked several women to death.
I do not and never will understand this desperation to label bros 'feminists' or 'feminist allies'.
So he's basically Gene Rodenberry for Gen X?I've said it before in a similar thread that shows like Buffy hold up thanks to a talented writing team. Whedon mostly just popped in to occasionally write a few lines of dialogue or piss off viewers that happened to like certain characters too much for his liking. Really, Buffy's success was due to the efforts of the writers catching lightning in a bottle and running with it.
Whedon himself just got worse and worse over the years up on his high horse and it was time for it all to come loose.
He marketed himself as that and people let it slide so others will drag feminists over this. At this point it's less desperation and more confirmation bias that male feminists suck.I do not and never will understand this desperation to label bros 'feminists' or 'feminist allies'.
the ones who go "IN MY INFINITE INTELLECT I PREDICTED THIS" are always the most annoying
If it turns out Wheden managed to bang any of SMG, Summer Glau, Amy Acker or Eliza, my respect for that dude will go through the fucking roof.
You'll find cocaine and the chance at a leading role a hell of a motivator for men and women
Why am I not surprised. It's almost as if the people who go all "have I mentioned I am feminist today?" are the most likely to have some ugly misogynist skeletons in their closet.
This also explains why he let his camera linger so much on Summer Glau's bare feet on the metal decks of the Serenity.
I wonder if there'll ever be anything that Twitter Feminists approve of at this rate.
EDIT: Neil Gaiman, of all people, predicted the "male feminists are creephats" thing back in, what was it, 1990? With the issue of Sandman called Calliope, where a struggling writer named Ric Madoc virtue signals about how feminist he is and how he likes writing strong female characters but he's only able to write in the first place because he's got a muse chained up in his attic who he rapes for inspiration.
yet, they are all faggots.Creep with no social skills = incel
Creep with limited to moderate social skills = Nice Guy
Creep with moderate to high social skills = Male Feminist Ally

I swear to god, if it turns out later that Whedon was also a sexual predator, I'm going to break into Hellblazer's strategic Absinthe reserve and drink until all earthly sensation has left my body.
If Gaiman once had his head on straight, the Starz adaptation of American Gods proves he's kinda lost it. It's not bad at all, but it's so obnoxiously "progressive" it's barely watchable.
YES! The Neil Gaiman thing is pretty spot on. Especially in the Death of Sandman arch, when the Kindly Ones actually end up not being able to do ANYTHING to stop themselves from killing him . . . . . nah. kidding. But seriously, Gaiman has the whole "Male Ally that goes horribly wrong" and the "strong Female who refuses help for males and yet ends horribly" tropes in all his novels.Why am I not surprised.

This is the realest shit.Creep with no social skills = incel

I guess that's the implication that can be drawn from his "on set affairs".I can probably guarantee you that he used the prospect of getting into a lead role on his shows as an incentive to fuck everyone that moves, does that count? Or is the Absinthe only if he's a kiddy diddler?
