Xander: How? What? How? Giles: Three excellent questions.

Xander/Giles ,'Never Leave Me'


Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

"Social Justice Warriors Always Lie"? Wtf? How is anyone supposed to take this shit seriously? I mean, really. Ridiculous.

Punishingly Intricate

Actually, the entire short story, graphic story, pro artist, fanzine, fancast, and related work sections are RP

I'm so not involved in that world so this may be a dumb question but "RP"?? Real people? Rotten potatoes?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Rabid Puppies.

As opposed to the Sad Puppies, who started the shenanigans in the first place.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That link goes to an error page, Consuela.

Ah, I'm too far out of the loop to have a chance of understanding what this means. Unless, I'm guessing, I spend some quality time in some dark rabbit holes!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

So what is, exactly, the goal of RP? It isn't clear to me if they are genuine in their reactionary political stance, or just a massive troll campaign. Like meara, whenever I read their stuff, I cannot really buy that they actually believe that crap.

I know, right? But I think they are genuinely angry. Like Trump supporters.

Ooo, good analogy

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But also trolling by including good people among their "slate," right? I mean, I can't imagine Bujold is actually on that team??

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That just proves they're not sexist (in their minds). Plus she writes the kind of hard science fiction space opera they prefer.
