Yeah this seems like a rare case of giving a shithead a platform that has actually resulted in the subject hanging themselves from said platform with their own rope.

Eggnogium posted:If there are 20+ indefensible screen caps of his answers, it doesn’t seem like the writer is trying to cast him in a more positive light. Yeah, I just read the full article and it absolutely is not trying to cast him in a positive light. The writer is just aware enough to know that Whedon's own words and accounts are bad enough to the point where she doesn't need to add on to it. Hell, Joss even agrees! quote:Whedon said he could no longer remain silent as people tried to pry his legacy from his hands. But there was a problem. Those people had set out to destroy him and would surely seize on his every utterance in an attempt to finish the job. “I’m terrified,” he said, “of every word that comes out of my mouth.” Yeah, she does draw a few parallels between the past and present attitudes toward Whedon and Snyder, but the point behind that is that building up a cult of personality around a person to the point that they can do no wrong is basically always a bad idea.

I mean she literally highlights a comparison of him to Richard III at one point. And then ends on that "but I'm a nice guy really!" line in a way that's hard not to read as deliberate irony.

Yeah, about the most positive thing in there is a former writer of his saying "Well, he was definitely a dick, but I don't know if I'd call him an abusive dick. But I am very vulnerable to being manipulated by abusers, so."

pentyne posted:Extremely. Nicholas Brendon was a recovering alcoholic and relapsed due to the screaming abuse he dealt with for years. Brendon has also been out there defending Whedon so I'm not sure how true that actually is. I think the writer of the piece is having Whedon hang himself, but the weird aside into how Zack Snyder is a fascist left a bad taste, particularly as it had nothing to do with the piece itself.

Whedon's whole game seems to be just putting so much oily, sticky self-loathing out there that he hopes people will take pity on him. Its like an animal rolling on its back and making GBS threads itself so a bear won't eat it.

Ah, yes, this one where he casually includes the restraining order, which I'm sure came up in this thread about 18 months ago. https://twitter.com/UpstreamColor/status/1281691019692486657 Shane Carruth is a gently caress, and I don't care how good Primer or Upstream Color or whatever other movies he's made are, because I'm not watching them out of general principle.

emo-ignorance posted:The worst part of the Joss Whedon profile was the reveal that his real name is Joseph. I don't know, this was pretty bad, too: quote:When he was 5, a 4-year-old boy, the son of family friends, disappeared on his parents’ property upstate. Eventually, his body was found; he had drowned in the pond. Years later, as a teenager, Whedon remembered he had called the boy over to the pond to play with him. After getting bored, he had walked away, leaving the boy alone by the water. “I didn’t think it was my fault,” Whedon said. “I knew I was 5. But it doesn’t just disappear as a thought.” It took him another 30 years, he said, before another thought dawned on him: Even after the incident, his parents never taught him to swim. “There was no structure,” he said. “There was no safety.”
