As much as I support keeping old games alive via emulation, especially for games that we all know are never going to see a rerelease, everything this guy in particular did seemed to be stupid decisions.

It can be two things!!!

On behalf of those people who do possess both a sense of humor and are mature enough to understand that oftentimes there is context to said humor, I’d like to offer to you a lusty heartfelt Congratulations on your nigh-epic virtual signaling via anonymous Internet comment board.

I think he’s finding the comedy in the image of two eccentric celebrity weirdos running through the streets of LA in the middle of the night.

You can find something repulsive but still find a darkly funny aspect to it.

See that’s why I’m terrible because my first instinct was to push Becky onto the floor for not moving her dumb ass. I’m not climbing up on the table for no damn body, especially some bitch who came in uninvited and wouldn’t let me the fuck out.

which briefly made us wonder if we were being too nitpicky.

And lo, the number of the rails shall be three. And three shall be the number. No more, no less. Two shall not be the number, unless immediately proceeding three. Four is right out.

“Except that, countless other people interpreted as it was intended...”

From one point of view, the people speaking out now are the people from “early Whedon”, i.e. even if he believed what he was saying he obviously wasn’t practicing it that well. On the other hand, I agree that having been told so often that he was a ‘feminist hero’ and a ‘visionary director’ that power got to his head…

I think part of the problem is that when Buffy came out his positions were far enough ahead of the curve that they *were* progressive and noteworthy, but as the world caught up and eventually surpassed him, his failings bring not just judgement for what he did wrong, but the feeling of betrayal. Carpenter’s far from…

Agreed. I don’t know how that Ultron line got... twisted into a form that becomes an example of misogyny. In context, it is reasonably clear that she considers herself monstrous because of being transformed into an assassin, not because of her sterilization.

And honestly, if he is kinda an asshole to actors both male…

I honestly wonder if Whedon actually truly believed the things he was saying early in his career?

Yea, this statement confused me. This is the reckoning. Right now. We’re watching it unfold in real time. I don’t see Whedon fans lining up to defend him, if anything we (yes, I was one) feel incredibly betrayed and grossed out by all this. The only question now is how much worse can it get, given Trachtenberg’s…

Truly, thank you.

username checks out.

I’m not even a fan of his, other than the albums Trent Reznor wrote for him. I just think you would make the world an infinitely better place by guzzling a gallon of bleach. Because we don’t need people in the world who think their musical tastes somehow make them better than other people. No one could give a fuck…

It’s fine, much better than being one of those people that shits on others for liking something they don’t. Those are the ones I feel truly awful for.

I understood that reference!

Disgusting. There’s so many of them though. Which one
