At least someone’s having fun in GW2.

It doesn’t, but being a strong public advocate for women’s equality while undercutting racial equality in your work should raise some eyebrows, you know?

Yes! I’m Chinese American, and I remember my friend telling me to watch Firefly, I’d love it, and I did...but I was also extremely uncomfortable and aware of the fact that there were no Asian actors in the cast. (They had like, a few randos in the background, maybe, who didn’t ever speak.) Instead, we had a lot of…

Thank you! I want to give Joss Whedon points because he’s trying to put forward strong, female characters, but he ultimately fails everytime. I can’t decide which is worse: an open misogynist or a guy who thinks he’s “got this” feminism thing and still fucks it up.

Can I just say that Patton Oswald is the biggest fucking douche? I mean honestly. He’s always adding his two cents when no one asked and he’s exactly the kind of dude who seems to think he deserves cookies for being slightly progressive some of the time.

But of course. Men who speak out are forceful & vocal; women who speak out are shrill and militant. *eyeroll*

i loved ff so much and it took me a long ass time to admit this. i believe kaylee was meant to be asian, originally, but like

I am so sick of a lot of folks in the fandoms thinking the sun shines out his ass. He’s a douchebro. End of story.

That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying that it’s a matter of scale, and that there are very few “militant feminists” making death threats when compared to deranged MRA’s making death threats. Also, from the examples I found, a few of them were men...so...

Yep. And then brought her back, swearing he wouldn’t kill her off. Then, when she got to set, she was killed off. I really felt for her, after reading her comments about that. While we can’t know everything that happens on set, and it is true she had had substance abuse problems before on set, she was clean at that…

Yeah. That comment is kind of shitty. It’s pretty reflective of the Hollywood experience, though. Hollywood is full of misogyny and rampant sexism. I wouldn’t even be shocked to hear Whedon was sexist because, frankly, that’s how it is.

I also like a lot of Whedon’s work, but let’s not forget that time he fired an actress for getting pregnant.

Instead of whining, he could have really used the backlash as a teachable moment for himself and for others.

he’s veering dangerously into self-appointed Feminist Batman territory except all of us are like “it’s cool, joss. we got it” and he’s still like “BUT LOOK I WILL FIGHT FOR YOU”

Never let Renner near a microphone again.

I was sympathetic with his sentiment until the “militant feminist” term came into play.

When a woman gets rape and death threats on Twitter, she should totes ignore it. When a popular male actor/director/comedian gets criticized (by women) on Twitter, well, that poor, poor man! Why can’t those mean, internet bully women leave. him. alone? Why you bitches gotta bother everybody allll the time? Relax! I’m…

but please shhhhhhhhhhhh for at least until the end of Avenger’s theater run.

“I’ve said before, when you declare yourself politically, you destroy yourself artistically,” he said.

He does sound kind of whiney here. But to be fair, he does get a lloottt of shit, so I’m sure it gets to him after a while. That being said, what is with everyone involved in Avengers 2 right now?!? Like, nearly everyone needs to collectively shut up.
