[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Buffy. Just knowing Whedon's take on women -- ugh.[/quote]

I've thought a fair amount about this one. When all this came out I remember SMG publicly responding that she didn't want to be associated with Joss, but was still proud to have her name associated with Buffy Summers. It made me think of all the work all the talented actresses and others put in, under challenges work environments, and how most of the messages of the show are still very valuable. Buffy was the hero and still is. I don't want to take away the accomplishments of everyone else who worked on my favorite show as a teen.

Does Whedon still profit a lot from residuals, etc.? I assume there is still a lot of Comicon activity for cast that didn't have a lot of success post-show. The people who were actually abused in this situation aren't suggesting that the show itself is bad in any way. Are you just uncomfortable watching now thinking about the BTS or is there actually a financial or other reason not to rewatch at this point? Just curious. I don't want to support Whedon but somehow can separate him from "his" creation.[/quote]
