Ah, then whoever wrote that initial article talking about her hooking up with another male Avenger can just go piss off then. xD They're reading crap into something that isn't there.
Also, who would not want to hit that shit? Cap is a hot hunk of manly man meat. implying that it diminishes her character to have a sexuality is completely ridiculous.

Well, a bunch of people on one side of an issue go batshit crazy and a bunch of people on the other side of the issue say "this just proves that they're all like that".

That's my Internet.

Notice the hat he's wearing in one of these pictures. Obviously Mr. Whedon was a misogynerd sleeper agent all along.

EDIT:
Holy Poe's Law, Batman - just noticed comments that've pointed that out.
OT: Fuck Twatter

I'm curious to find out if we're going to have some after-the-fact justification articles about how horrible Joss Whedon is.

Not counting the ones that predated his departure from Twitter, that is.

Cracked will soon confect Six Shocking Reasons Joss Whedon Is A Terrible Person, you can count on it. In fact, I predict it will be the subject of an upcoming After Hours episode.

My thoughts exactly. When I heard about this, I was rather confused, since everything I've heard about Joss is that he's firmly on the social justice side.

So you can march in lock step with these fanatics all you want, but the second you march slightly out of sync they'll clock you as a sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, ageist, sizeist, singlist, specist bigot?

What exactly are people angry about anyway? Surely it isn't just that allegedly transphobic statement, right?


Just you wait!

Very soon, Anita Sarkeesian will mount a strident defense of her dear friend Joss Whedon.

She won't just stand idly while her legion of depraved pink-haired San Franrats tears him to shreds.

She won't leave poor old Joss swinging in the wind.

Just you wait, any minute now.

Cracked makes fun of everyone and everything though. I wouldn't be surprised if they haven't already made an article or video about why Joss Whedon is a terrible person. I always thought Cracked stayed neutral through everything.

We used to have asylums, but that proved too costly so we replaced it with the internet. Seriously, some of those assholes tearing down Joss Whedon seem to me to be mentally ill.

Depends on the author. Luke McKinney is kind of up his own ass. Most articles that make people start screaming "SJW" about Cracked tend to come from him. His humor tends less towards poking fun at everyone or weird notes about pop culture or funky theme stories (you know, the things people like about Cracked) and more along the lines of "look how dumb and shit everyone who doesn't think like me is. Now listen to why everything I like is the perfect answer to every problem in life". I've learned to just ignore anything by him. Makes Cracked a lot better.

I don't think I have ever read one of his articles before. If I have I don't remember it.

SO, apparently no, nothing chased him off twitter, taking a break while writing.

My sides reached the orbit when that white knight cuckold got rekt by feminist frequency after desperately trying to get in their good graces.

Don't lay down with dogs Joss.

He said it (twitter) was a distraction at the moment, that is pretty open statement looking at the context.

Captcha: "way to go donny!"
Donny is out of his element.
I think this was all a social experiment by Joss. Jump neck deep into feminism and then make one "mistake" so they go straight for the neck. A good way to show the true colours of the progressive left.

And I say that as a liberal.

He could had set his twitter to private instead of deleting it... But i guess it's all a coincidence and certainly Anita that as he claims was one of the first to support him will also be the first to express that support vocally.
Any minute now...
Any minute.........

So the entire progressive left is represented by dumbasses on twitter?

Hey, I don't like what these people did, but I'm getting tired of people using it to justify sterotypes.

Eh, doesn't matter. People will ignore this small fact and keep ranting.
