176. Sexist? For reals? It was a parody of cutesy guy-meets-girl, it was shy, and the only actual sexist was set up to be a wrong-about-everything jerk as well, like Gaston.

177. I honestly can't understand people like you who get mad/confused/whatever when a bunch of fans like something good. Mostly because "good" is a matter of opinion, but in this case...I'm sick of it always being about Joss Whedon, just as I am sick to death of it always being about RTD or Moffat in DW fandom. Look, I just like the stupid show, okay. I happen to've enjoyed other things the writers have done (or not, in RTD's case), but it doesn't mean that I look upon the writer as if they can do no wrong.
But in no way is having a funny, sweet short about a dorky villian who sings (with fun, cute, clever lyrics and catchy tunes) about his inability to get the girl fail. The end is up for debate, but there's no real fail to be seen in the concept and execution of the first two episodes.
I honestly can't understand why anyone would hate it.


180. Wow, you have got to be a troll. If you're not a troll, you haven't seen Avatar. If you have seen Avatar and you still think that about Katara and Toph, I'm sorry, but you're just stupid. This crosses the line between "fandom opinion" into "real life delibrate ignorance" and is frankly disgusting.

No, apparently Joss Whedon is awful because "OMG, HE KILLED THE GIRL!" and "She had a stereotypical personality in a story where everyone except the main character has a stereotypical personality!" Like all of his other work that featured women in empowering and atypical roles is somehow erased because he dared to do something different. The whole thing is stupid and annoying.

Yeah, what the hell? Do you people expect him to treat women like people ALL THE TIME?

In a story where there is only one fully developed character, there is going to be only one fully developed character. The fully developed character happened to be male in this particular work. He is drawing attention to and making fun of cardboard cutout stories and characters. It's not "sexist" or "anti-feminist" for Whedon to happen to have an underdeveloped female in a story, especially since it was done on purpose and for a reason.
