Sorry, did you read his Wonder Woman script? It was trash, actual sexist garbage, like much of his work since Buffy.

No, I think she is saying she has PTSD because she spent 20 years with a guy who turned out to have lied to her so often, and so successfully, that she has to question if they ever had an authentic moment. Every time she remembers him having to work late, while she believed him completely at the time, she has to ask…

Oh yes! I always wondered how Buffy could be seen as a feminist show: Sure, the girl can hit hard, but she’s an emotional doormat all over the series.

If she’s lying, then he could have categorically denied all of it. Instead, his representatives gave a much more evasive response - one that gives him room to cover his ass if she shared more from the letter.

I’ve seen Dollhouse.

Love this. Exactly - if he was surrounded by “needy young women,” they were there on his say-so! They didn’t just jump out of a dark alley and attack his poor, innocent dick with their neediness...

Why don’t you believe her? Do you think her story is implausible?

Not exactly news. I was never a Buffy fan (nor much a fan of Whedon in general at all, tbh), but even I know all you have to do is ask Charisma Carpenter if you want to know what a shit-heel Joss has often been to women, despite all his big talk.

And his writing of women in recent years hasn’t been all that, either. I’ve got real issues with the way he’s written Black Widow (Whedon did Avengers and Age of Ultron). Whedon’s Widow is consistently more emotionally fragile than the character appears in pretty much every other movie in the MCU. In the others she is…

Yes, seriously. He’s pretty obviously not a prince among men. I can enjoy his work and still not think he’s a demigod, or even a great guy. He’s not Roman Polanski, from what I’ve heard, but he’s also pretty clearly said some questionable things over the years, and I’m hardly surprised by this, either.

“So you take her word as is? Not even a bit of skepticism?”

“Beautiful, needy, aggressive young women”. So his favourite kind then. And dude, you wrote the show and decided what kind of people would be in it, you’re the one who surrounded yourself with the beautiful, needy, aggressive young women. They didn’t just, like, turn up.

Aside from the underage girls things - those women reported being traumatized, by the way - Gandhi was abusive, extremely racist and anti-black, praised Hitler, let his wife (whom he described as ‘dumb’ and a ‘meek cow’ while she was alive) die of a treatable disease... among many other things.

I’m kind of surprised that other people are surprised.

When my ex (who def. identified as a feminist) decided to leave me for a mutual friend, one of his guy friends met up with him at a bar for a drink. After the ex explained everything he’d done, the affairs, etc., the friend was like ‘that’s not very feminist of you, dude.’ As petty as it is, I liked hearing about it.

Not if you’re having repeated affairs with women you’re in a position of power over and using your wife as a shield against anyone looking too deeply into your fucked up behavior.

Not surprised by his infidelity despite calling himself a feminist.

I commented elsewhere his Greek myth would be Penisius Douchebaggus, a sexual harassing minor centaur hunted by Artemis/Diana.
