Is the slash phenomena the result of all the poor, traumatized het women who had their illusions destroyed by Spuffy?
Because the Spuffy ship onscreen was trying to force a very clear moral down our throats: There are men out there that are inherently bad for you, and if you find yourself interested in one of these inherently bad men, then that means there is something wrong with you, and you need to reject the 'bad men' and instead date 'good men' or even become celibate, if you still want to be a good person.
The S6 writers had, unintentionally, destroyed the sexual identities of a vast portion of the straight female viewers.
I tried to read the whole post, but my brain got whiplash from all the twisting of the logic.
Given the description on fandomwank I don't want to read and be spoiled for VM. But the excerpts you guys have posted are incredible. I WISH I had the kind of power that would allow me to unintentionally change whole swathes of feminine sexuality. Plus, wtf?
Women who were attracted to the 'bad boy' type were suddenly being told that they were wrong and that they'd suffer if they acted on their instincts.
No. fucking. way! I was told that if I was attracted to the bad boy type he'd annoy me forever despite needing to be killed ages ago.
I will state again, the only thing I'm left completely sure of since Season Six Buffy is that Marti Noxon should not have been given a television show, she should have been given a blog.
For the rest of her life, she'll write stories of fucked up nubile teenage girls luring poor bad boys into the bear trap vagina of doom.
There's gotta be a support group for writers stuck in such a loop. Yawn.

S6 had more problems than Spuffy, but killing Spike would have been a good start. Killing him in a Jenny Calendar way, that is, not a they-killed-Kenny way.

If you killed Spike, who would make the most interesting story as his killer? Buffy? Willow? Xander? Drusilla? Angel? Faith?
Any of them would have been equally boring. The character outlived his usefulness and killing him would have been necessary, not interesting. Spike needed killing and the writers just wouldn't do it.
