Remember that "girls are ruining sci-fi" article debacle from ages ago? I was THISCLOSE to actually signing up over there, because not only was the article so disgusting, so many people were agreeing with it. (One commentator was talking about how Buffy was so gross to him because of all the ICKY GIRLS KICKING ASS OMG but Firefly "redeemed" Joss Whedon for him a little because it was so obvious the crew depended on Mal being a Big Strong Man to keep them from falling apart. OHMYGODSMASHKILLDESTROY)

I really, really hope that this BS over at Whedonesque doesn't come to that level of breathtaking AWFULNESS. I am glad Simon stepped in (though I'd be happier if someone just flat-out banned him, omfg.)
