Yep, but drama sells. It’s all about the clicks.

Yep I did. Charisma Carpenter said there was animosity between them when they parted ways, but that their relationship has mended since then. 

Well I guess if you say that the value of his work is tainted by nostalgia of aging millenials like me it surely must be true. I stand corrected, sir. 

Well, yeah it’s my opinion. The thing is that cheating is something really common, and while it’s something terrible to a married partner, it is something that happens. And I just don´t understand how that could be considered equal to being a pervert, or disavow the value of someone’s work. Buffy nor faith ever wore…

Well, critical consensus says otherwise, but whatever. I never liked Frasier, but apparently it was a critically acclaimed show throughout its run. 

Well I never saw his characters as specially pervy. Sex sells, movies show cleavage, they always have. Whedon might have made Buffy a sexy blonde, and a Faith a sexy antihero, but he also gave them great storylines, badass quotes and a central role in saving their male counterparts, which can’t be said of other…

Well people have flaws, even movie directors we like. That doesn’t mean we have to start trashing them after years of saying how awesome he was, in the same way as we (rightfully) trashed creeps like Louie C.K., Weinstein, Woody Allen, Donald Trump, Kevin Spacey, etc. Having sex with your co-worker and/or employee is…

Exactly. His work is not some gift from the gods (I absolutely hate the last 2 seasons of Buffy), but he actually puts an effort in it and the guy clearly has talent for writing well rounded characters, male or female. How many times did Buffy save Angel, Spike, Xander, Giles’ asses. I am guessing that by the…

Young adult latinx adult democrat here (28 years old). And yeah pandering to outrage-loving people.

So a woman having sex and/or marrying his director is a poor damsel in distress brainwashed by the superior males to have sex with them? Well how feminist of you to think so little of those strong women I just mentioned (Including Helen Mirren and Taylor Hackford, Kate Beckinsale and Len Wiseman, among many others).…

Yeah and Psycho (from notorious real life creep Hitchcock) seems downright cheesy right now. And no, it’s not like they revised their 20 year old selves taste, basically the week after reviewing and praising every season of Buffy and interviewing much of the old cast, they started trashing him. Just because he is a…

Pretty good for a guy who suddenly we should all consider as a misogynist pervert because he cheated on his wife. 

Advantage inplies victimization. And no, I don’t think he did. If he had sex with them and that is problematic then let’s just demonize other directors who cheated or had sex with their actresses: Noah Baumbach (Greta Gerwig), Kenneth Brannagh (Emma Thompson and Helena Bonham Carter), Sam Mendes (Kate Winslet), Tim…

You are claiming that those women, besides of what they claim, are victims. I think that victimization of women is way more problematic than say, cheating with a co-worker or employee.

Well that's a pretty weird criteria.

Yeah, but it isn’t a crime.

Not only that, but apparently cheating is a sign that he is an awful woman-hating pervert. It just seems hilarious that they spent a week dissecting how good Whedon’s buffy was and how it paved the way for great female characters, and just 4 days later suddenly all of the things they were raving about were just…

It seems to me that people like you imply that he dozens of women that praise him are just too scared to come with allegations (More recently Scarlett Johansson: https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/scarlett-johansson-joss-whedon-black-widow.html), which is... problematic. And about the sex in the workplace, well…

Oh so artistic complains... Yeah well, there is that famous quote of “opinions are like assholes”. I, for one can’t stand Sofia Coppola, and the things you just wrote are exactly what I would say of her. 

So you are saying that those women would be too afraid to speak against Joss Whedon? In this day and age. If the untouchable Weinstein was taken down, Whedon wouldn’t stand a chance if he used power to sleep with his actresses unwillingly. So he cheated, so what?
