The most hilarious thing I have ever read in relation to Joss Whedon
idiolect:
I am happy to call myself a feminist. I'm not sure I'd call myself a "radical feminist" but there have been other people who would. I would even be willing to entertain a discussion on whether or not sex within a system of institutional oppression could be considered rape, insofar as when we say "consenting adults" there's an implicit requirement that "adults" be of equal status in terms of agency etc etc (although I worry that such use of the word "rape" dilutes the term as used by those who have, er, experienced what is meant by the more mainstream use of the word). I'm really not sure that I'd call Joss Whedon's work feminist, and I especially never got the Buffy-as-feminist thing. But this? Jesus christ is that some shitty, superficial criticism she's deploying. I mean, you could probably do a much more defensible reading of the show as exploring some of these issues. The characters do seem pretty gendered to me, but only insofar as they each explore some particular disconnect within a certain archetype traditionally associated with their gender (and this, I think, very much applies to the male characters as well).
Also, that handy-lesbians-with-drills thing? Hey there, why is it that only lesbians get drills -- or why is it that lesbians only get drills? Way to perpetuate an oppressively restricting stereotype while purporting to rail against them. That statement about women of color with white men wasn't terribly great either.
Maybe I just can't possibly understand her, because if I had lived in the Firefly universe I totally would have considered aiming for Inara's job.
Spluff:
Sounds like somebody needs a good cock!
Okay, jokes aside. This is really kind of scary - I have no idea how people can grow up into an adult that actually believes this kind of nonsense. Her parents must have done something very, very, wrong.

I have met these people, they hate me for having a penis.

Heavy comment moderation. :cry:
Nodaisho:
So? That doesn't stop people from trolling moderated forums. I think that the idea is just to flood someone until they give up and curl up into a ball in their computer chair. I am not sure she would be able to, due to the huge stick up her ass.
idiolect:
"Moderated" in this case means that it won't even show up, though -- she has to "approve" each and every one of those comments before it appears. So, I mean, you could send her a bunch of stuff, but no one would ever see it except her, and I'm sure she's already getting all sorts of crap anyway.
