Buffistas

This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

From online news services...

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Warren Ellis' Bad Signal contained this nugget this morning:

Anyway: you know the hardcore Buffistas will get a charge from that first Season 8 comic.

For some reason, this crawls right up my back and sinks its teeth in my spine. Why?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Because he's using the term "Buffistas" to encompass all Buffy fans, not specifically members of this board?

Also, even leaving aside the term "buffista" is the implication that if you don't get a charge from the comic, or have no interest in it, you weren't really a Buffy fan.

Also, presciptive vs. descriptive, and that never ends well around here.

Which is disturbing the fuck out of me as well. Just visceral. But it angers me, deeply, as cover art for a Spike comic.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You weren't really a hardcore Buffy fan. I think there's a difference.

You weren't really a hardcore Buffy fan. I think there's a difference.
