It's a dick move. As well as a poor move as a writer. That's all I was saying.

…I never implied changes didn't have to be made. He just did so in a way that ruined the character as a personal slight to the actress, and then fired her after the fact. Again, the firing came AFTER her pregnancy had ended, it was merely done out of spite.

They worked around it. There was no reason for the comatose end to her story. They worked around the pregnancy, did so in an unbelievably disrespectful way for a character who had built up one of the best arcs of the series, but fired her immediately when the contract was up: even though she was, at that time,…

Joss was still a showrunner for the season and openly admitted to adjusting the fourth season's plans. I did not realize how defensive people are about this guy. JW and CC both basically confirmed this, he fucked up an arc out of spite for a woman doing what she wanted with her body. I'm not asking to act like this…

All I'm doing is simply bringing up something that's piqued my interest for quite a while. There's something a little disappointing and alarming about somebody who hypocritically does blatantly sexist things while trying to paint himself as a proponent for women's rights. It doesn't take away from the work, for me,…

🤷🏻‍♂️ everyone is very defensive, it seems. Didn't realize there'd be so much to defend about firing someone because they had a baby, which is typically an illegal action in most fields.

There's more to that, though. The article and his wife's testimony, for one. He also diminished Angel into an overly sexist series once he took the reigns in the last two seasons. I love the series', I respect his work, I just have always found his credentials sketchy in terms of treatment of women.

Didn't the dude fire Charisma Carpenter for getting pregnant, and tried to ruin her character out of spite because her pregnancy got in the way of the season he had planned? Nothing feminist about this guy.

Cordelia! Not Fred.

He appeared on Real World Road Rules Challenge for two seasons, I believe.

I agree that's why, but I don't think it's made clear enough and I can see why some see it as completely out of left field.

It depends. If they don't give us any more insight as why she's acting this way, then no, but I think they could easily justify it and then it would all make sense. I'm really hoping they do, because I'm not crazy about Libby when she's outrightly rude.

She developed from the bitchy, popular persona and became a true hero. Sure, I'd understand somebody saying Buffy (NOT Willow) should have been hoisted up to the heavens and called a goddess before Cordelia, but Cordelia did truly use her power for good and out of all the members of Angel Investigations, had the…
