Cheating on your wife does not make one NOT a feminist. Same way being true to your spouse doesn't automatically makes you one.

In all fairness look at her. How does a rich and famous super creator working in Hollywood NOT cheat on her. Bitch ugly.

Not disrespectful to women in general. If everything his ex wife says is true (which granted, could be bullshit) it doesn't look good for joss. He spent a large portion of his career waving the feminist flag, only to lie to his wife and use a position of power for sex from young women. This sadly is adding to the stereotype of male feminist just being creeps and using feminism to get laid. It also makes Joss a hypocrite.

Having sex with young attractive women does not make you not a feminist. A man's power is an asset that makes him attractive, same way his intelligence, job, money, talent and physical attributes can make him desirable. Does cheating on your wife and using your power to sleep with young women make you a douche? Absolutely. It makes you an asshole is what it does. But that doesn't mean that you are suddenly a bigot or disrespectful of women in general. Unless he specifically harassed these women or blackmailed them then it shouldn't really impact whatever feminist ideals he has.

I'm not a fan of cheating in a relationship, but there are worse things.

You're right it shouldn't, but it probably will in his little social circle. Joss is known for catering to a specific batshit insane feminist click. One that even threw him under the bus fo r his "Problematic" writing of Black Widow in Age of Ultron. He even deleted his own Twitter account when things got heated. For the record I don't really care what Joss does in his private life, nor do I think he isn't a feminist because of the accusations against him. I just find it entertaining that his little click turning on him on something that hasn't been proven yet.

If his "feminist click" turned on him for simply getting Black Widow to say "I'm a monster" then this will definitely drag him down some more. It's not fair, but I can see it happening.

So apparently a long running fansite dedicated to joss whedon just Shutdown. Things are getting crazy. Also there is a small movement on social media who want him fired from Batgirl. Joss, you shouldn't have ran your mouth all those years and you shouldn't have stayed loyal to those who threw you under the bus back in 2015. You also shouldn't have cheated on your wife, because this is biting you in the ass pretty hard!

Will Joss Whedon get fired from Batgirl? Doubt it. I do know that certain board member(s) would be ripping him to shreds if he was still working on Marvel films.

Will Joss Whedon get fired from Batgirl? For this? I highly doubt it. If people got fired for infidelity then everyone in Hollywood would be unemployed.

It's not so much as being fired for cheating on his wife, but being fired over the controversy of being a "fake" feminist. The insane amount of hatred towards him from the feminist community. He's set to write and direct a comic book film starring a female lead. He's currently being blasted as a misogynist and a scumbag by even his own inner social group.

^ Could you imagine how different things would play out had Joss Whedon been female? A woman's professional capacity being judged by her sex-life instead of her actual professional skill?

I haven't seen any indication that Joss Whedon is being blacklisted for cheating on his wife. I see no reason to assume that he would be fired from Batgirl.
