There’s a good summary of it (including some of her speaking — very carefully, given how powerful a figure he is in Hollywood/nerd culture these days — publicly at a panel about it) here!

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.

Why are you apologizing? (S)he demeaned the wife by saying writing her thoughts in public is equivalent to being a 14 yr old. You pointed out the ridiculousness of putting the onus on the cheated on person for keeping their mouth shut, which is at least tangentially the same thing as calling a grown ass woman 14 for…

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.

I forgive her because she lived through sixteen years of her husband being lauded as a feminist god friend and champion paragon on virtue while he was actually screwing around on her. I would be pretty pissed off too.

Yeah? Feminists blame the beautiful, needy, aggressive young women for their affairs?

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.

“While this account includes inaccuracies and misrepresentations which can be harmful to their family, Joss is not commenting, out of concern for his children and out of respect for his ex-wife.”

thank christ we can all stop talking about firefly now

Nah, all the people he sucker punched went blind.

Not attacking you, but I’ve heard this excuse too many times from liberal white people. A comedian does or says something racist/stupid/ill advised and defenders come out of the woordwork talking about “he/she wasn’t advocating for people like that he/she was making fun of them” when in reality, they weren’t. That’s…

Que 10,000 comments about being too harsh on “well-meaning allies” *wank off motion* and how we’re alienating those who want to help us *wank off motion*

Ugh, Tina Fey...she can be funny, but she sure does double down on the whitepeopleing.

Yes. Some commenters and I have been speaking of this. Since the Splinter and the Root have come into play, Jezebel seems to have relinquished the political commentary to them, and focused more on celebrity, fashion, and commerce.

Exotic? Its fucking tapioca.

Yes, x1000

Im siding with the verbose cheater because social media pity-fishing is so obnoxious.

The companies they work for have freedom of speech too. They chose not to be associated with this asshole.

Your right to privacy (this isn’t a free speech issue, numbnuts) ends when you parade your idiocy in public.

This has nothing to do with free speech. These assholes don’t have a right to a job at a company that doesn’t want to employee them because they’re now a liability. The right to employment is not enshrined in the constitution. They weren’t maced, tear gassed, or shot with rubber bullets at their protest. The…
