Lets take Buffy

He wrote the magic child who is always the load.
The ditzy action girl who gets broken by life (and who loves being in abusive relationships with older men).
The bi-lesbian girl who gets to do the technobabble and becomes evil until a man saves her from herself.
The oblivious overreacting mom, who dies.
The other "cute" lesbian, who dies.
The broken bird action girl who loves sex and is evil.
The bitch with a heart of gold, who leaves the show early on.

That is a large female cast for the day, I'll agree, but none of those are positive portrayals of women. They might be Strong Female Characters [tm], but they are not good female characters. That is leaving out all the waif fu fanservice and skimpy clothing. And that is his flagship show. We could talk about the one with the whore and the traumatized warrior girl, and for which he was planning on getting the whore raped to death by zombies to motivate the male party leader, but it got canned before it could really get into its stride of awful.

Shhh, pointing out stuff like this is practically a hate crime, didn't you get the memo?

DA, but holy shit, what a hideously cynical and hopelessly biased view you have of this guy's writing. I wouldn't even know where to start with this comment of yours. It's like you're wearing some kind of reality distorting glasses whenever you watch Whedon's work or something. O_o

I don't even know which characters you think you're describing here half the time, that's how little they resemble the characters Whedon actually wrote.

You forgot Rape: the series, that people INSIST was not "that bad".
