Whedonesque Fail

Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail

If you've got your feminist bingo card ready, read the Hathor Legacy thread. You could fill the card several times over.

(I posted the Hathor and Rebecca Allen links, but never went back to the thread as it made me too angry. See the link for Girl Wonder, have a look and then Simon's pulling the same shit all over again. I'm sure that by tomorrow morning you'll be able to fill your racism bingo card as well).

ETA I pulled those quotes because they are either mods, or in the case of bix! people with a huge amount of credibility and respect at Whedonesque.

ETA 2 "Was there a discussion that the Cosby-Show had to few white characters?
Did anyone mention that the Sopranos had too many italians??"

ARGH. Taking three seconds to comment on Penny's role = you don't care about any other women's issues. Okay!

And we've just had the opposite number over on the racism thread.

You can see they're putting a lot of thought into these totally, totally original arguments.

OH GOD, YOUR SECOND ETA. Yes, and why isn't there a White History Month?

ETA: I love the "What else can you ask for?" at the end of that guy's comment, as if Nikki Wood is some kind of pinnacle.

I know. I'm pretty disgusted with the way Universities never teach Men's history.

(On Cosby comment. THEY WERE JOKING. OKAY? THEY WERE BEING IRONIC! Oh and Giles and Xander and Riley were stereotyped too.)

That's fine with me. You can unscreen them.
