Yeah this comment isn’t dumb and reductive at all.

Somebody pointed out how trash Joss Whedon is and how inept men are at depicting women uh oh! sound the nerd alarm, here come the hordes of more socially inept nerd dudes who can’t handle criticism to prove that very point!!

Gotta love counter backlash rage from nerds upset anytime somebody criticizes some nerd thing

“appreciate your efforts” lmao

yeah self-awareness isn’t really the strong suit of socially inept male nerds

Look at all out outraged nerds, upset that people are pointing out how socially inept and terrible joss whedon actually is

Great point. I also just learned that the creator of Wonder Woman/Diana Prince (William Moulton Marston) modeled our sexy feminist hero on Vargas girls and his predilection for erotic bondage. And lived for years, with his wife’s consent, with his (female) lover stashed in the next room over.

No, this isn’t fake news trolling. I learned this on a recent airing of NPR’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross. Where this was explained as . . yes, kinky but ultimately acceptable because chains represented women’s suffrage. Mmm, and also that all the founding characters mentioned above were friendly with Margaret Sanger. ok, Yay! And btw, I love Terry Gross and WW. Just sayin.

It never happened in more ways than one. Whedon himself has pointed out that he never got the chance to write an actual script, because Warner Bros. decided to part ways with him after reading an outline. In other words, that script people are getting mad about is most likely a fake.

But a comic-book character? Oh, by the way, how do “feminist” comic-book fans handle the impolitic notion that Wonder Woman was created by a man?
