sigh...

I’ll take your word on him being a “regular asshole creep”. I have been unable to find any published accounts by anybody other than his wife complaining about his actions, but I realize it doesn’t matter at this point. There is a very vocal group of people that are upset that he calls himself a feminist (which is also…

Because the Creators think that people are so stupid that there’s no way they could understand that, “Hey, this is in the same universe as BtVS, but with different characters,” so they try to retread* the concept instead.

Why, though?

I guess I feel like there’s a lot of room to do stories in this setting without doing a reboot.  Do Fray.  Do one of the potential slayers who got her powers in the last season but somehow fell through the cracks.  Do Principal Wood’s single-mom in 70's New York.

“whose book was a NYT bestseller” wow, that’s a non-sequiter if I have ever seen one.
Considering he wrote the book before having a publisher I would say that he was doing it for the love of the writing, and was thus unpaid. And by the very definition Amateur. It was also his first book, so there was no guarantee he…

Jezebel bums me out. It used to be a lot better a couple of years ago, and I regularly found interesting articles on there that actually did open my (white male) mind to the struggles that women face in their daily lives. The quality of the editorial copy there started tanking hard around the time that Thiel/Hogan…

Yeah, for further evidence of Gawker Media’s political leanings please see: Jezebel (Feminist echo chamber)and The Root (Racial issues echo chamber). I’m not saying I disagree with much of the content on those sites, but any dissent from the herd in the comments section is attacked, villified, insulted, and shouted…

The fact that you think anything I said is an attack is exactly the problem. You wrote that whole comment and I don’t even know if you meant to reply to me at this point.

Weird. After Ghostbusters we were told something like this wasn’t possible. Guess its more about the movie being good than rampant sexism.

Here’s the thing, though: It’s honestly not hard at all to make a version of this that’s faithful to the spirit of Cable’s origin that isn’t too complicated.
