Very true
Which matters more out of wheedons work or his affairs or his feminist cred I can't summon up enough enthusiasm about any of it to discern

Biographical readings of art are boring and trite, is my principal objection.

that seems a bit of a stretch for what the piece actually says tho

i mean it starts with a straight-up critique of some aspects of buffy which have nothing to do, really, with whedon's personal feminism

The piece repeatedly draws connections between plot/writing elements, his public words and the alleged stuff in his private life.

That point of the piece is to situate the writer on the right side of the argument, and the rest is unimportant.
Re: whether he's a feminist or not - who cares? Seems more important whether (as the ex-wife suggests) he abused his position as producer - not whether, say, he was mean to kill off Cordelia.

Interesting that Kai Cole says she was diagnosed with complex PTSD. I have too many thoughts on this! C-PTSD isn't a DSM-5 disorder but does go a long way to describe (and help treat) trauma felt by systemic oppression, abusive relationships, or unstable family lives

personally I would like to hear more of the thoughts!
