Does the Wheadon sex pest stuff ruin Buffy?
I haven't seen it but was a Firefly fan, and some of the things in that show now make me cringe.
Not really, but it's a nostalgia watch for me. It wasn't an issue when I watched it the first time, and it's more about what the cast was doing. Wheadon didn't even write or direct every episode, so it's hard to really say he ruined every moment of work from maybe a hundred or so people.
If you can seperate the author from the work, then yeah. There's nothing I can remember from a recent rewatch that's like tastelessly pervy in it. It does handle some mature themes, there's some episodes that deal with like SA and stuff like that, but it was handled with levity.
That said, you'll probably still cringe a bit because there's parts of it that are so blatantly late 90s/early 2000s that they're just funny to think about now. stuff like the "internet ghost" is incredibly dated.
>sexual assault, it was handled with levity
As it deserves!
