Well, this aged like milk.
"Because you're still asking me that question" is perfect.
I choked up at the end of his speech. The world is out of balance, and it is wonderful to see someone with such a great reach speaking out about that imbalance. Bravo, Joss, bravo. Keep creating shows and movies and webshows that have strong characters, no matter their gender, and I will keep watching!
hey
The thought that people like this exist in the world keeps me alive.
Oof. I hope you are ok.
This aged very well !!! 🤣🤣🤣
Lmaoooo 🤣
This is a great talk by Joss Whedon. Don't know why there are so many hateful comments that have nothing to do with the actual video.
I don't know anything about this organization, but I'm a Buffy/Whedon fan and consider myself a feminist. Our culture is permeated with misogyny and this man has the balls (so to speak) to stand up and talk about it. Feminism shouldn't be a dirty word...and I can't even tell you how sick I am of the word "feminazi."
Another question for him: Why do you write these strong men characters?
It even feels strange to say 'men characters' - see how entrenched sexism is.
haahahahahaha, funny
Back in the day when we didn´t know better. Whedon is the Weinstein of the nerd world.
I wouldn't say he is that bad. He is a total hypocrite and a bully and a sleaze, but Weinstein was something else.
Do you think that what you think is really true... or is your truth based on "Flummeri Puffonicus"? 🌫
@@MirellaDerksOK poor soul
I love this man
Also Joss said it best "because your still asking me that question" nobody questions a man's character or strength in a film that's just how is character is drawn but when a woman wants to be seen as strong they ask that stupid question why? because the first thing people look at is her boobs and V and so they question why she is strong? Joss said it the best and that goes for every field out there.
"Why do you create these strong women characters?"
Cuz they're hot.
Well, the truth finally.
How could anyone dislike this?
Well...
this is the most profound, important thing one can say about women and misoginy and femininity, Thank You Joss. You read my mind in the best way possible, you made me realise what I really think about women PEACE
I love this video. I watch it every year.
ahh...
Inspiring.
I love watching movies with strong female leads. I like watching Movies with strong Male leads. It really just depends on the storyline to me. We def need more writers like Joss in Hollywood. Such a cool bloke.
anyone from psu ?
I can't believe people would leave completely off-topic comments and rate down a video because of the actions of an organization that do not directly relate to the video. It's not even a recent video! A soapbox is fine, but please, get your own! If this is something you feel strongly about, make your own video! Make your own website!
Respect is what makes people listen to your opinions, but the approach you're taking earns you no respect.
Still brings me to tears 5 years later.
fr?
Yes they do actually. There are woman fire fighters who fight forest fires when they are set, there are women in mines all over the world, they even drive the trucks. There are women who work in the oil rigs out in the desert and in our oceans and women work in the councils fixing our roads. Men also walk the catwalk and stay at home and look after the children.
I love Joss Wheadon!
And this is why Joss is Boss.
86 thumbs down on this? Really?
They were beating the #MeToo rush against this simp
By the way, I had to Google "otaku," because I had no idea what it meant. You know why I that is? Because you're having this argument in the completely wrong forum, with people who are completely ignorant of the issues you're trying to fight. I didn't say I hated you or even think you're wrong, just that I have no idea about anything you're talking about. Which is why I think you should consider taking your fight to a place where people will actually know what you're talking about.
I didn't say there was anything wrong with complaining. If you see something you think is wrong, then you should speak your mind. All I'm suggesting is finding a better place to do it. And I agree, respect has to be earned a little at a time. But commenting on unrelated videos is counterproductive to that.
What makes me a feminazi? I'm really curious, because I've never been called that before. Is it simply the fact that I commented on this video in opposition to you?
You got it all wrong, Feminism fights for equality. Joss Whedon is actually a feminist. If he believed that was true, what you are saying, he wouldn't be fighting for it.
Joss Whedon, you win all the awards.
Joss is a true feminist unlike people (Anita whatsherface) who moan about sexism in Mario he has and doing something about it. A true inspiration who creates equally inspiring female characters.
What are your feelings about him in 2022?
Some men and even some women are threatened by the idea of women being treated equal to men =(
don't remember where I first heard this one:
"When you're used to privilege, equality feels like oppression."
Ah, poor guy, he looks so scared D:
All those who want to support Joss, and fight inequities and gender imbalance in our 'modern' society, stay. All the whining buggers who are angry at women because that girl in the 4th grade never reciprocated your crush, out!
He just called his mother sexy...
Damn, he is the embodiment of two-faced beta simpery
@TRAyres How are these 'feel good women groups" restricting the rights of others? Feminism is about equality it is not meant to diminish or disregard the equal rights of men. I think it is ridiculous and kind of stupid to claim by even talking about the equality of women that their somehow doing it at the expense of men.
This video didn´t age well.
Two months later, this video aged even less well.
wow arguing about grammar on a social network real commendable... also woman are more than capable of doing those jobs if you actually were educated and took classes that had to do with how society works these days you would see that woman are a big minority group not just in those fields but in other job fields as well. As one of my professors said back then it was understandable that woman couldn't do or wouldn't do hard labor jobs but those jobs are diminishing
History shows again and again how nature points out the creepiness of feminist men.
Did you mean nurture?
I'm here to listen his hipocrisy, after Buffy crew and Ray Fischer allegations.
People should have realized Whedon was a creep when he used the word “sexy” to describe his mom.
calling his mom sexy while trying to pretend to be a feminist. not cute
Meryl Streep always "clueless" about these creeps in Hollywood. LOL
She's also the moron that always said the press are the most misunderstood people in this country.
This sucks.
