Zack Snyder’s Justice League (2021)  Dir. Zack Snyder

The Flash trailer is geniunely amazing.

We’ve known for years that Ray Fisher lost his job as a direct retaliation for speaking up about racism in the studio. It’s not a secret. He spoke up about Whedon and how the studio had protected him, and his role (and pay) was sliced down for speaking up.

And yet so many self-described ‘progressives’ are happily ignoring that because the Flush trailer dangled some keys in front of their face. 

And let’s not forget the alleged ‘journalists’ who have been happy to print outright racist lies about Fisher being a liar who Snyder is ‘using’ with zero pushback or correction, because they’ve invested so much in Whedon being a good guy.

Some of us haven’t forgotten. Some of us won’t forgive.

Ray Fisher has been vocal about the abuse and racism he and others faced on the set of justice league. People have said that he’s lying due to his relationship and support of Zack Snyder, saying he has no evidence. But Ray Fisher isn’t the first one to suffer under whedon. Ray taking a stand and calling out whedon has given others the chance to speak their truth. And the truth is that joss whedon is a horrible human being. He was also protected and embolden by geoff johns, jon berg, toby emmerich, and walter hamada as well. This is not ok and cannot be allowed to continue. Accountability>Entertainment

Ray Fisher has been fired from his role as Cyborg in the DCEU because he spoke up about Joss Whedon’s abusive behavior on the set of Justice League (which was enabled by Jon Berg and Geoff Johns), and spoke up about DC Films head Walter Hamada’s attempts to hinder the investigation into said abuse.

Yet another massive fuck-up from Warner Bros. Between this and keeping domestic abuser Amber Heard as Mera (while also firing her victim from his own WB role), seems like they have a thing for protecting abusers.

So, from "No Buffy, no Joss!" to "Stay away from Buffy, Joss!"

What a sad, dark time for Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans. This page not only celebrated the Buffyverse, but Joss Whedon's work as a whole - particularly the woman characters he's developed. It's still difficult to believe this is really happening - or that all that's being exposed actually did, during the making of a television show that would touch us in ways other pieces of fiction could've never.

I have yet to find another work of fiction to identify myself as hard as I relate to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I started watching the show about to get into high school and those characters became my friends. It had me into Joss Whedon's other works which I worshiped, Whedon himself became a reason I wanted to be a screenwriter.

We all know now how troublesome a lot of that was. Everything I saw as a teenager, however, was the strong notion that girls could also be powerful.

Also, how it translated metaphors into fantasy... How that show is responsible for everything youth enjoys watching on television to this day. Something that'd be replicated by many writers the industry for many years.

It sucks that it all started with the über jerk.

The fans always knew: Charisma Carpenter's account, which I found here on Tumblr a couple years ago; the perception of that cancerous lack of good representation from which Buffy didn't escape (also a thing throughout Whedon's work); Kai Cole's revealing open letter for which she can now be considered an unsung co-creator of Buffy; and then, what Whedon's done to the characters of Black Widow and Wonder Woman... Enter Ray Fisher.

I do feel terrible and guilty for just ignoring how cynical Whedon's public image always seemed. But there's one thing I'm never feeling guilty for, meaning that my love and greatfulness for its existence will prevail: Buffy the Vampire Slayer. A universe that man - thanks, Rao - did not conceive alone. It makes it a lot easier to "separate the art from the artist", and unecessary to reconcile to anything as a fan.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is life, and so it shall remain.

Yes Buffy, no Joss.
