Whedon seems like a horrible person. Like a real top shelf piece of shit. Buffy was awesome though. Ray Fisher feels off to me. I wouldn’t be surprised if everything he says is true or if he made it all up. I can’t get a feel for him except he seems like one of those guys that is his own worst enemy.

Joss Whedon is not a great guy with a kind heart.

I don't understand why he agreed to it!!! He comes off awful in the full interview

Also like the most annoying person on earth:
Joss “is a layered and complex communicator,” one longtime collaborator told me. “His tone is deflecting, it’s funny, it’s got wordplay, rhyme, quote marks, some mumbles, self-deprecation, a comic-book allusion, a Sondheim allusion, and some words they only use in England. This means you, the recipient, have to do some decoding. You have to decide if there was a message in there that was meant to correct you, sting you, rib you affectionately, or shyly praise you.”

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Both of you guys post exactly the same and share many other similarities.

Also please do not compare me to an abuser

That's only because English is not my first language (one of many ways I am like Gal Gadot)

I understand what you're doing here and since Jorge already stole your punchline I'm just going to very genuinely reply to your jokey post:

No. Actually, he's maybe one of five or so people on the board who's posts I don't feel I need to decode.

Other than when he's making a reference to something that I don't know about yet, of course. Some internet thing or pop culture event.
