So are some of his casting choices. Birds of a feather, maybe.

All I know is dat if I legitimately thought dat television shows were filmed in outer space, I would have studied acting, in da hopes I could be cast in a space shot series. Unfortunately, den I would be too stupid to do anything besides walk around wearing a MAGA cap.

I knew this guy who worked at a card shop in Seattle and he always went out of his way to tell people how he was a feminist. Some girls told me he was creepy and eventually he lost his job after he was found to be in a sexual relationship with a minor and I never saw him again after that (not sure if he went to jail or what). Joss Whedon always maks me think of that guy. Someone who creates a public persona to cover up their behavior.

Joss Whedon's fall from grace is so fascinating. I remember when he was the golden boy of nerd circles. But yeah, you gotta separate the art from the artist.

Still worth rewatching for Morena Baccarin <3

Shes also da main reason to stick around for da Ori storyline in SG-1. It always bothered me dat da best thing dey could come up with for antagonists after da Goauld was another race of(ascended) aliens forcing humans to worship dem as gods.

Yeah, people used to practically gush about all of his work on Buffy, Angel, and Firefly...

In the end though, the shows can stand on their own with what fans make of them.

I'm just putting them on ignore tbh, that gimmick isn't entertaining in even the slightest it's just annoying.

But on topic, same thing with lots of others I don't separate the art from artist, unless you're pirating their content they're still getting something from it odds are, so your supporting them by watching it either way

You can either make that decision now or get used to everyone telling you to shut the fuck up.

Yeah, to my knowledge Whedon did not get taken down by #MeToo, which is outright surprising because he's a creepy motherfucker.

Does Ramsey do that behind the scenes or just on camera. I assume that mean Ramsey is his character for Hell's Kitchen and not the actual man.

Didn't know the Whedon lore. Though some of that sounds kind of par for the course for Hollywood directors/producers - I'm curious how extreme it was in his case.

I don't watch the shows. But I've heard people mention he's much more relaxed on his British shows, and he dials the anger up to 11 for the US versions.

Going by the allegations, which pretty much all the people who have worked with him stand behind, he was extremely toxic and abusive. His treatment of Charisma Carpenter was especially bad and also the most documented. The cast also made a rule that he wasn't allowed to be alone with Michelle Trachtenberg (who was like 14).
