Not every bit of lying is gaslighting.

That menu seems confusingly broad. I'm not sure one restaurant should carry both jerk spring rolls and pasta primavera, it feels kind of scattered.

Nothing I've seen here indicated that he was being predatory or creepy, just that he cheated.

Or you fire her. Feminism doesn't mean saying "women can do whatever they want without getting fired, even if it involves radically altering the course of the show".

Sure, it's lying, but I don't think it's gaslighting.

What here is gaslighting? And if women see "rich, famous feminist" as a good thing, I don't see the problem with using your reputation, apart from the cheating itself.

As we all know, "showing a bad thing happening to a woman" is anti-feminist. Handmaid's Tale might as well be produced by Breitbart.

If an actress is pregnant and the character isn't supposed to be, that's a huge issue. You can't always have her just stand behind counters and laundry baskets.

MST3K is probably a real pain in terms of licensing.

I had no idea Prime had Rifftrax, I guess I know what to do now.

Cheating on your wife doesn't make you a hypocrite in terms of feminism any more than cheating on a black husband would make you a hypocrite in a civil rights context. The two are fundamentally unrelated.

Sure, the show's body count was a mile high, but one of them was a lesbian and that's apparently unacceptable.

I've always hated the whole "Fridging" complaint. Are they against all deaths in movies, or just women's? Death's a great motivator- the Waynes, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jack Murdock, the Punisher's family, etc. It's an old trope because it works.

If he was trying to pass off the responsibility, why would he follow it up with "It felt like I had a disease"?

I think step one is "create Buffy the Vampire Slayer", step two is just "be somewhere that people have heard of Buffy".

And Confederate.

It's not a retcon, it's a mild clarification.

Plus, it's supposed to be kind of shitty of them. The Watchers are at best inept, at worst malevolent. They're not the moral center of the show, they're meddlers who are at best occasionally helpful and at worst do things like "hey Buffy, we're going to take your powers away and trap you in a house with a vampire,

I just don't see how "infidelity" and "opinions on gender politics" are intrinsically tied together, you can't say someone is or isn't one from the other.

That would be a great counterargument if I said he was a pacifist, and not just a guy who thought the Civil War was a bad idea. But I didn't, so you're just arguing against something no one said.
