"I don't remember saying that…"

Huh. I always had a suspicion it was a friend I have out in real life, because he is also a Simpsons fanatic and because the profile picture of Homer has a similar smile to his. Unless you are him…?

The SJWs are tryin'!

I don't recall a character in anything, ever, who was as steeped in their own insecurities as Buffy, and who used that as their path to becoming the hero— male or female, sci-if or no.

The world is full of contradictions. Does not mean there's "nothing feminist" about Joss Whedon.

There's not more to it. The guy is a writer of fiction who became famous for writing realistic, flawed characters in unreal worlds, and for elevating female characters beyond damsels in distress in genres where they were traditionally only damsels in distress. So now that his ex-wife is calling him a cheater years

So this is how Disqus ends: to thunderous Whedon-bashing.

IT'S A TRAP

This type of reasonability is not going to fly at Kinja, sir.

I love how one example jumps to "Nothing feminist about this guy."

Until Whedon writes a season-spanning story arc about it, this ain't entertainment news.

So, Jezebel?

Tell it to the "feminists" who suddenly think ugly-shaming is fine when it's a man trying to awkwardly flirt with them.

New rule: every time Matthew Lilard is murdered in something, a detective must scream OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! several times for levity.

Netflix has already ordered three seasons!
