"Fathead" Roberts is such a troll.

focus solely on badly-written fanfic fantasies for frantic bean-flicking, their stories swapped between shawl-wearing, cat-owning knitting enthusiasts squeeling until their lungs burst on LiveJournal.

EXCUSE ME? Listen, douchebag, I don't think you should be questioning Joss' feminist cred without taking a long, hard look in the mirror. Or should I just assume that you're a smelly fanboy sitting in your mom's basement, with a Barberalla poster on the wall for your wanking pleasure?

*ahem* Sorry, hit a nerve. Not that Joss' isn't a total SNAG, but pot-kettle.

Once More With Feeling shouldn't be a goddamn Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Well, Steph, you know that MMV on this. But hey, not all successful musicals are actually that great. I personally think Miss Saigon is a pile of steaming crap.

I did detect a definite whiff of "Only Joss' shows about male protagonists are any good, because I can't identify with a lead character who doesn't have a penis."

I took the whole thing with a grain of salt, because he thinks Angel and FF were Joss's two best shows, and I just, well you know about me and Buffy.

That said, I laughed out loud during much of it. Perhaps because I was wearing an afghan around my shoulders while reading it. No. Really.

Also, over the years it has dawned on me that I am much more of a Buffy (and Angel) fan than I am a Joss fan.

I see truth in all five of the bulleted points, if not all the blather beneath each, but then, I never thought of us as his most vocal fans. I mean there's vocal, and then there's some of them.

This morning I saw one of those fancy changing billboards advertising Dollhouse tonight. ("Tonight" was even in really big letters.) I've never seen the billboard promote Dollhouse before.

But hardcore Whedonites? They are to Trekkies what the Nation of Islam were to the Civil Rights movement.

I actually think this sentence is offensive. WTF?

Douchebag, heal thyself.(Not y'all, him) And every showrunner tries to find someone to blame. Except maybe Milch, but he talks about "humility" because he's on a Program of some sort. Personally, I like the sing-alongs. Nobody has to, but I don't get the vitriol...it doesn't harm anyone, doesn't actively take points from IQ scores or lower worldwide sperm counts...as Keith Olbermann said on a far more significant occasion "What's it to you?"

Ha! That was some pretty hardcore trolling, and he is going to get the negative attention he wanted. In spades. Also, fairly harsh, yes, but the bit about Dollhouse and Fox made me laugh and laugh. Actually this is my favorite bit:

The guy who writes Family Circus apparently did a dialog polish while Joss was coming up with new ways to get hot female co-stars to make out with each other onscreen (for feminism, of course.)

Prisicilla Renea song "Dollhouse" (no intentional relation to show)

I tried to be your picture perfect girl
But you were in your own fantasy world
Tryna control me
Like some kind of barbie
But that just ain't me

Cuz I ain't a doll
This ain't a dollhouse
Your way too old to be
Putting me down like this
And playing around like this
I ain't a doll
This ain't a dollhouse
No I could never be stuck living life like this
Behind these four walls
Cuz I ain't a doll

And I come with imperfections
Epitome of perfection
If you can't understand
Loving the way I am
Then you're no good for me
So glad I kept my receipt

I laughed at some of it, too, but the fanfic thing just set me off.
