I would assume Doublemeat.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Spike's Bitches 31: We're Motivated Go-getters.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I think she's referring to Gone.
I also don't agree with her interpretation of the text there. (Or her interpretation of BoP 68, for that matter, but variety is the spice of life and blogging.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Dude, have you met us?

... and I was trying to remember if it was Gone, Doublemeat, or Dead Things. But my point before I gave up and figured it'd be a crosspost anyway was going to be that she was conflating various bits of S6 (QED), and landing in a bit of the old "she raped him too, so she's as bad as he is!" pseudo-canon of the (ptui!) Spuffy wars. If anything, the point for me was always in the way things headed out-of-controlwards in very slippery steps, not any easily pinpointed moment of "girl hero gone bad".

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Well, yeah, 'kay, point taken. Less punchy as a title for a feminist blog, though, if you give it the UK interpretation.

...I'm going to have to go and refer to the transcripts, I guess, because I can't think when Buffy forced Spike into oral sex over his verbal objections. (Haven't seen Season 6 in ages.)
I remember the scene where she beat the living crap out of him - I mean, I know that this is what she does a lot of the time, but in the Buffy-gets-framed-for-murder episode there was a really very brutal and vicious Buffy-beats-up-Spike scene, iirc. But that's obviously not what she's thinking about, so - don't know. Huh.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I think she's referring to Gone.
Yeah, that's what I think too. Spike looks down and says something like, "That's just not fair."
I can't think when Buffy forced Spike into oral sex over his verbal objections.
It's not rape if she's invisible! Mostly, I didn't see much "forcing" and "verbal objections" in that scene. Maybe a little, but the punchline, as it was, had Spike pretty much accepting the blowjob.
I am tired and sleepy. But I have hot chocolate.

Art Crawl!!!
But what is the "musical sting" comment all about? I wondered whether she meant "musical setting" and had somehow inserted a new scene into OMWF.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
But what is the "musical sting" comment all about?
I think it's just a reference to the underscore which swelled (unsurprisingly under the circumstances) or musically indicated it was a comic moment.

What, you mean the thing with the rising music and the rising... music?
