AIBU to be disappointed with Joss Whedon

[BlueKarou]

Yes, I know it's just sleb twaddle, and it doesn't impact my life one bit...

That said, I really thought he was one of the good guys and it turns out he's an entitled cheat, as well as a gaslighting arsehole. It feels like a betrayal - he was supposed to be this feminist creator, this writer of strong women and equality, and it turns out he's just a regular creep.

Kai Cole's article.

Don't know how he could present to the world he was a feminist when he basically was taking advantage of the casting couch.

What a sleaze.

I'm a big Buffy fan but started feeling uncomfortable with Joss's 'feminism' when I read this intro to his Fray comic. He seemed so proud of himself for giving her small boobs because he's so down with real women.

I've got large breasts and it made me awkward, uncool and embarrassed.

Now reading that he wanted someone 'less womanly' than Amber Senson to play Tara I can see that he fancies tiny, slight women. And that's fine. But presenting yourself as a feminist for this... To me it's still using women's bodies to convey their personalities. And it made me feel bad when I was a young woman.
