Photo: Gabriel Olsen/WireImage Known for his work on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, and Marvel’s The Avengers and Avengers : Age of Ultron , Joss Whedon was once celebrated for creating the feminist, Sarah Michelle Gellar–led hit series as well as his refreshing approach to male-dominated action and sci-fi entertainment. However, over the years, this mass appreciation has imploded with an increasing number of claims from actors and former co-workers detailing Whedon’s alleged on-set abuse dating back over 20 years, most recently with Buffy ’s Charisma Carpenter speaking about the alleged bullying she endured on set while pregnant.

Not only does this play right into the “ bury your gays” trope, but it also closely ties Willow’s interest in women and magic with her evil “Dark Willow” transformation. The season really hinges on women gaining powers through trauma, and viewers see Buffy ’s female characters continually suffer as they grow or regain said abilities.
