Age of Ultron director Joss Whedon has denied that he closed his Twitter account this week<\/a> following feminist criticism of his new film, calling the claims \u201chorseshit\u201d.<\/p>\n

He told BuzzFeed News<\/a> that speculation he had left Twitter because feminists criticised his portrayal of Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) in the film had angered him so much he decided to speak out. \u201cBelieve me, I have been attacked by militant feminists since I got on Twitter. That\u2019s something I\u2019m used to. Every breed of feminism is attacking every other breed, and every sub-section of liberalism is always busy attacking another sub-section of liberalism, because god forbid they should all band together and actually fight for the cause,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw someone tweet it\u2019s because Feminist Frequency<\/a> pissed on Avengers 2, which for all I know they may have. But literally the second person to write me to ask if I was OK when I dropped out was [Feminist Frequency founder] Anita [Sarkeesian].\u201d<\/p>\n

Whedon said he removed his account so he could focus on his personal life and creativity after making the Marvel<\/a> sequel. \u201cI just thought: \u2018Wait a minute, if I\u2019m going to start writing again, I have to go to the quiet place,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd this is the least quiet place I\u2019ve ever been in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Whedon says he had \u201ca great time\u201d on Twitter<\/a> and may consider a return but for now, he wants to focus on other things.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe real issue is me,\u201d he said. \u201cTwitter is an addictive little thing, and if it\u2019s there, I gotta check it. When you keep doing something after it stops giving you pleasure, that\u2019s kind of rock bottom for an addict. I just had a little moment of clarity where I\u2019m like, \u2018You know what? If I want to get stuff done, I need to not constantly hit this thing for a news item or a joke or some praise, and then be suddenly sad when there\u2019s hate and then hate and then hate\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
