Firing Charisma Carpenter for “daring” to get pregnant without his “permission”
James Marsters allegedly threatened to quit following the “Spike-rapes-Buffy” scene in Seeing Red (6x19)
On that note, apparently no one liked filming that episode
Dollhouse, as inventive and amazing as it is, is FULL of his personal views on women
The way Natasha is reintroduced in The Avengers, how later her breasts are constantly emphasized
Loki referring to Nat as a “mewling quim” FOR NO FUCKING REASON AT ALL. (I’ve heard from the grapevine Hiddleston felt so bad that he repeatedly apologized to Scarlett between takes?)
Natasha bringing up her infertility and thinking it makes her “a monster” because “it made doing bad things easier”. SJ was pregnant during filming of AoU
This list is not exhaustive. Please feel free to add more. These are just the examples I am aware of.
Look, I have ALWAYS been open and honest about my feeling towards Joss Whedon.
His sexism has been clear for years (did you read that Wonder Woman script)?
There have long been whispers about how he lashed out at both Charisma Carpenter and Emma Caulfield in his writing over personal “disputes.”
He made bizarre choices in season 12 of the Buffy comics that seemed to stem from his inability to allow a female character to be both “strong” and “happy.”
Dollhouse, as amazing as it is, is riddled with clues to his views of women.
His ex partners have spoken out about the abuse they endured.
I am, and always will be an avid Buffy fan and participant in this fandom. The fanfiction that has stemmed from this series, the tie in novels, the comics, and more have been part of my life for decades.
But I’m not a fan of Joss and I have zero interest in supporting him.
