I actually had quite a lot of respect for them as well and the way they'd keep the board from degenerating into ship- or character-wanks.

Where I started losing respect for them was when Serenity hit movie theaters. Any movie critic, any blogger, any anyone who had the temerity to say, "I don't like the movie," or "I didn't like Firefly," were suddenly getting mobbed by outraged browncoats who read that they show had gotten dissed on Whedonesque.

That doesn't even take into account the nasty comments that got thrown at those same people that remained on Whedonesque. Some of those comments got pretty damn personal.

I'll be honest: I'm not surprised that Whedonesque has resorted to "Bingo-ing" feminist bloggers who have issues with Joss's work on the grounds of racism and sexism due to the "Joss is always God" attitude over there. It was a matter of time before shit like this happened.

Hell, a few people on my LJ were making fun of Whedonesque's attitude last week. I think we all pretty much knew there was going to be some kind of sexism- or racism- wanksplosion coming sooner rather than later from that direction.

I just didn't expect both and I certainly didn't expect them with a week of each other.
