Joss Whedon was associated with feminism in the media a long time ago because he wrote some strong female characters into TV shows like Buffy that were fairly revolutionary at the time. He made a huge step forward, and that was about it, and I suspect a huge part of that is just media savvy - namely, recognizing that there is a huge portion of female fans wanting better female characters that no one else was tapping/even trying to, so he went in and scooped up most of that demographic for himself. However, a lot of fans blew him up into this image of a feminist writer in the media, creating rather unrealistic expectations about him and his writing, leading to a lot of disappointment when he fell short of those expectations.

I think we can appreciate the progressive attitude towards female characters he helped perpetuate while still pointing out the flaws and problems in his writing, without turning him into a hero or a demon. *shrugs* Apparently, I'm a minority in that attitude.

You are just sensible. Sensible people don't wait neary as much time raging on the internet about the flaws of other people.
