Dangit! Though I guess I can’t fault her. I wasn’t really familiar with Chewing Gum until earlier this year, I was going through my On Demand or whatever shows, and I saw it pop up and was intrigued by the name, and before we knew it, my boyfriend and I had spent our whole day binging both seasons back to back.

No, but the part where he fired Charisma Carpenter and killed off her character as punishment for getting pregnant sure does make one wonder. Also, don’t blame the women you cheated with when you were in a position of power over them and are holding their careers in the palm of your hand.

Yes, but Joss Whedon blamed his cheating not on himself but on the “beautiful, needy, aggressive young women” whom he was in a position of power over in his cheating and not himself. Then, he gaslit his wife for fifteen years and lied to her. Then, asked her to carry the burden with him. He was not powerless or a…

Didn’t the illusion of wokeness go up in smoke the moment the Wonder Woman script draft got leaked, or is everyone just willfully blind?

CARPENTER? PAGING CHARSIMA CARPENTER, PLEASE COME TO THE RED COURTESY PHONE.

so he could have everything he wanted.

Did you actually read her letter? She’s not saying her husband cheated. She’s saying that he gaslighted her for 20 years while he was a womanizer. There’s a big difference between committing infidelity and doing that. She says that she’s been diagnosed with complex PTSD since piecing together the truth.

It’s like you totally missed the part where he was preying on young women and using his positions of power to bed them.

The exerted quotes hint at it, but Kai’s whole post makes it clear: WHEDON GASLIT HER FOR YEARS. He made her doubt her own reality. Yeah, someone can fuck up and still be a feminist. But to consistently and determinedly tell a woman — one who you purportedly care about — that she is wrong in her experience and…

Remember how he fired Charisma Carpenter for getting pregnant?

Aside from the underage girls things - those women reported being traumatized, by the way - Gandhi was abusive, extremely racist and anti-black, praised Hitler, let his wife (whom he described as ‘dumb’ and a ‘meek cow’ while she was alive) die of a treatable disease... among many other things.

Eh, do you really think she should just slink off into the night?

Not if you’re having repeated affairs with women you’re in a position of power over and using your wife as a shield against anyone looking too deeply into your fucked up behavior.

What?!?! I’m SHOCKED!

reading the comments on various sites and i see that a lot of male feminists are upset about this. they seem very defensive of joss and attacking kai.

Yeah, but on the spectrum of shit, “sleeping naked with your underage nieces” is pretty far out there.

One need only read the atrocious and extremely un-feminist screenplay he wrote for an unproduced version of a Wonder Woman movie to see how he feels about women.

thank christ we can all stop talking about firefly now

I commented elsewhere his Greek myth would be Penisius Douchebaggus, a sexual harassing minor centaur hunted by Artemis/Diana.

I’ve been chuckling over this all afternoon. I’m so spitefully happy to have been proven right.
