I don't think anyone who's seen his work from Firefly on is even remotely surprised by any of this.

Although, I admit I started getting reeeeaaaaalllll uncomfortable with JW's feminist "bonafides" somewhere near the end of "Angel" because I realized her had a distinct pattern in both "Buffy" and "Angel."

When a major or second-tier male character leaves the show, the leave on their own two feet and alive. Or if they die, they come back to life (lookin' at YOU Spike).

But if a major or second-tier female leaves the show, they leave in a body bag. Assuming there's a body to put in the bag.

And that's not even the taking into account the shit he pulled on Charisma Carpenter, which honestly was the nail in the coffin of his "bonafides" as far as I was concerned.

Not a Whedon fan but curious as hell, who is Charisma Carpenter and what did Joss do to her?

[(Anonymous)]

Long story short, she had the temerity to get pregnant so Whedon fucked around with her character and put her in a coma, effectively killing her presence on the show. She was convinced to come back and promised that her character wouldn't die... and then Whedon killed off her character again, for keeps.

When you get pregnant in the middle of a show and they have to change the entire season's plotline to revolve around it, I can see getting annoyed. Couldn't she have waited to have a kid?

[(Anonymous)]

You do know TV shows have been concealing pregnancies for decades, right? It's not as convenient as not having to change anything, but it doesn't have to be as inconvenient as rewriting an entire season's plot.

I mean, I love Joss's work and didn't hate that Angel arc, but let's not pretend it wasn't a choice that didn't have to be that way.

It's more the context of which it was done (aside from the fact that there are laws against discriminating on the grounds of pregnancy). It was basically revenge.
