I'm glad I started watching BTVS before I knew I needed to be outraged about things.
Right?!?!?!?!?
Riley: Maybe I should just let you rest. Buffy: You sure? I bet if you just lay down with me- Riley: Nothing you are about to say will lead to rest.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Don't get me wrong; I think Joss isn't the feminist he gets lauded as being. And that wouldn't bother me if he weren't promoted as being Mr. Awesome Feminist Dood. But, you know, Fred. And Tara. And Penny. And, oh, all of Dollhouse.
But I still don't think Pangs is promoting genocide. Or that Xander is anything other than a normal high-school guy.
Hmmm. I wonder what the reaction to "Something Blue" is going to be?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
(What was wrong with Tara?)

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

I don't think that's the issue. I think it's something about Native American spirits and...something? Making light of things? I don't know. You know, any time you do anything, it's problematic.

What am I supposed to be outraged about there?

Because books.

I don't read Mark, but given his reaction to everything, I could imagine outrage at what Willow did, intentionally or not.

Buffy's OTT love for Spike, I guess. All the patriarchal hoo-ha around their wedding. I dunno. It just feels like it would be troubling. Maybe not.

Fridged to turn Willow dark, yes?

Haven't heard many rumblings about that one. People seem to like it and find it funny.

Cool. People's preferences align with mine!

I completely forgot that. I mean, much of the stuff goes over my head, but when a well-developed character dies and another character freaks the fuck out and people respond, I don't feel like it's a fridging, so much as a plot development and a catalyst.

I found it less funny when I rewatched it because season six made the ridiculousness less funny and more depressing foreshadowing.
