Ehh. I think his writing was witty, and many of his female characters were feminist badasses--for the time.

The fact that Joss himself apparently failed pretty majorly to adhere to a lot of the ideals he depicted in his work does not actually invalidate the work itself. And the fact that his writing had its personal biases and blind spots also doesn’t invalidate its stengths.

I say that as someone who hasn’t really vibed with his creative style for at least a decade. From a modern perspective I tend to find it somewhat juvenile, obnoxiously glib, and sometimes kind of…moralizing on the offbeat? But I’m so not interested in the smug revisionist history that derides and dismisses his work from a modern vantage point, without acknowledging the reality of how much it brought to the pop-cultural landscape of the 90s and early 00s.
