Get this... I’ve had a McRib before, years and years ago, and yet I till choose not to eat meat now. I suppose there are some who were raised vegetarian or vegan and have never eaten meat, but I’d guess most vegx, in America at least, have eaten meat at some point and know what they’re giving up.

There are all kinds of issues with your statement let alone what was said. “Sufficiently on board” seems like an understatement. It appears they actively opposed unionization (likely cutting into their top earning position in their mind or the position as defacto management of the unit).

You must be fun at parties.

Joss [Whedon] was kind of like, “Hey, I want to give you this, ’cause the other thing didn’t work out. And you only got to wear one costume on Firefly so now you get to wear dresses and look really pretty, And while you’re doing that you’ll also be eating souls.”

I’m sad that we haven’t watched more stuff Torres is in, because she’s always great.

Huge Buffy fans in our house, so this is awful news.

We don’t even need him being a dick to Shelley Duvall to prompt that response.

Fuck Dr. Phil

What a nice day for some bigots here at our community to show their true colors.

Ew.

I also have a thirdhand connection to someone who worked on Buffy, and I’ve heard some quite horrifying stories as well. The interesting thing is that they don’t just center around Whedon, though his tendency to play favorites and wield authority like a high-school mean girl was obviously a major contributing factor.…

I agree for the most part. But the thing is, I don’t think Joss was “overcorrecting”. I think he has a type of woman he finds attractive, likes to make art about such women, and hides behind feminist tropes to make his (neutral) preferences sound heroic.  Where it got gross was that he would subtly (and apparently…

All this “I always thought Joss Whedon was trash and his shows suck” comments are tiring. Plenty of great shows and movies were made by complete assholes.

I remember how even when the show was first airing, people were uneasy about how Cordy’s story in Season 4 basically amounts to a year-long rape and murder, and wondered if Whedon was taking revenge for her pregnancy screwing up his plans for the season. So this really isn’t that surprising, but hopefully the level of…

Thing is, he doesn’t really owe us details - it’s an open secret that Joss Whedon is a piece of crap. We didn’t know the details of him firing Charisma, but it’s been known he did it because she was pregnant for a long time. And his ex-wife wrote an open letter a few years back detailing some of his abuse and…

The thing though is that what Carpenter is saying has pretty much been an open secret since it happened. We should’ve been listening then and not letting his “feminist credentials” sway us. And I 100% count myself as someone who should’ve done better then, as I heard it and dismissed it.

Leggie Hammer?

Nothing is worse than “Cherry Poppin’ Daddies”

Counterpoint: Chumbawamba and Jamiroquai are both infinitely less awful names than “Hoobastank”. But points to him for having a sense of humor about it.

The third season is easily the best season. It really benefits from showing you the casual injustices that happen everyday. Also, I'm from Cleveland, so that added to my interests, but it really is quite good.
