*grin* What makes you think I was talking about Dr. Horrible?
Okay, yeah, I was, in a roundabout way ... I just don't react as much to Joss Whedon's stories as everyone else does--either as a feminist or as a storyteller, but I think it's a matter of taste.
I'm reacting much more strongly to the--well, the reaction, because I hear this kinda stuff all the time, and I get sick of it. "If not every female character is strong and independent all the time it is BAD FEMINISM" is definitely my pet peeve, and it's coming out in force now. *grumble*
But as to Horrible--you are so right. Maybe some stories don't have strong female leads. That's okay. JUST LET THEM TELL THE STORY.
