ppl asking “what the fuck happened to joss whedon, why is he like this” are missing the fuckin’ point, my friend

doolallymagpie:

he’s like this because nothing happened to him.

nothing kicked his ass into keeping with the times. he’s been allowed to coast along on milquetoast 90s feminism for two decades now, and yes he was progressive back then. but you could see him getting behind the times as soon as the firefly era. or rather, the times getting ahead of him.

it’s not just that he’s been so busy patting himself on the back on the platform that the train left him behind, there’s not even a station where he’s standing anymore. yet he’s still jerking himself off with how much of a progressive feminist he is.

he was always like this, it’s just when he started, “this” was considered progressive, and now it’s ass-backwards.
