Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dire Bare" data-source="post: 8517399" data-attributes="member: 18182">Part of the tragedy of misbehavior in Hollywood is that it impacts more than the abused and the abuser . . . but also just about everyone involved in their projects to varying degrees. Everyone involved in Buffy the Vampire Slayer is losing out here, even if only a bit if their involvement was minimal or just because it was so long ago.I totally respect anyone who decides to boycott Whedon and all of his projects going forward. I also respect those who decide to separate the creator from the creation and continue their love of Buffy, Firefly, or what-have-you. And there are those like me, who aren't boycotting anything but our motivation to revisit old loves has dropped significantly.I still love Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the pioneering and enjoyable show it was, and I take comfort that while Whedon's writing was a part of that, so was the acting of the incredible cast he managed to snag. I'll watch Buffy again someday for Sarah Michelle Gellar, David Boreanz, Alyson Hanigan, and the rest of that amazing troupe of performers. But, like others have said, I imagine the show will hit differently, and I'm in no rush to start my Buffy re-watch anytime soon.There are other creators I've enjoyed in the past who I just can't anymore. Others where I'll need some time, and others yet where my enjoyment didn't skip more than a beat or too . . . . How I react to any given piece of art and the artist behind it will vary because . . . life, people, and art are complicated.</blockquote>
