Lol...Joss Whedon quit Twitter because supposedly trolls were tweeting mean things at him about the Avengers movie and Black Widow's representation.
I think it's actually a great move because Twitter is a cesspool and no one should have to put up with all that. But the dude is such a whiny, feeble, privileged hypocrite. He "stands by" all the women that get abused on Twitter all the time, but crumbles once the spotlight turns to him. Additionally, he basically is okay with (or not fully against) murdering people for drawing offensive cartoons, but he himself can't even take some rude, blockable comments, much less a bullet.

I'm still gonna see him movies and shit, but he is, as a man, contemptible.
Don't know how to embed tweets, but here's Joshathan McInjosh throwing FemFreq's boy Whedon under the patriarchy bus.
