The most hilarious thing I have ever read in relation to Joss Whedon

If I ever make a movie, I'm going to get nothing but gorgeous women for all the roles and make them wear signs like "short, bald guy" or "really ugly, stop lusting".
RobbieOC:
And I would pay money to watch it, because I wouldn't know any better.
KharBevNor:
There are far worse, and more well known, things to analyse in sci-fi from a feminist perspective than Firefly. Try Asimov sometime...

--- Quote from: Ozymandias on 28 Mar 2008, 10:27 ---I thought of Samus too, but then remembered Fusion retconning the series so that she always took orders from Adam. Thank you, shitty game for continuing to ruin the series in some small way.
--- End quote ---
Well, someone did not get the memo then, because the games that came out after fusion still have no mention of Adam. Still, barring fusion Samus is a strong independant character that the government basically begs to save their asses all the time.
Jimmy the Squid:
But according to this particular feminist, Samus would be just as bad a role model as Zoe because the only way she is empowered is by engaging in violence which is apparently a male dominion if I'm reading Alecto's post correctly. I always understood the feminist movement to be about equality, which to my mind at least says that women should be able to be strong and violent just like men and be respected for it, just like men.
