A dalliance with someone who adores you doesn't necessarily change your sexuality. I doubt that Buffy thinks she's bi now. I totally buy that a horny person would go to bed with an admirer outside her orientation out of curiosity and a need for comfort .
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Plus there was also the gratitude factor for Satsu having saved her from the spell.

When I read about the uproar, I think about what Captain Jack would say: "You people and your quaint little categories." Heh.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
When I read about it I was, like, this is on the news? I'm sorry? Did somebody just stop genocide in Darfur?

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
I'm with you, Kevin. I just don't understand all the drama.

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade
What Kevin Said. Also Frank about the farce.
I mean, when I stop to think, some of the bad reaction shouldn't surprise me. Like a lot of us, I tend to hang in the sex-positive, "sexuality is fluid" parts of fandom, and, for all we criticize, the Buffistae tend to be pretty positive on Buffy (and Buffy) in general(The scans_daily post, particularly, is full of people saying "This is just what I've been expecting since Joss ruined Buffy in Season Three!").
What actually surprises me is that there's coverage from even the online section of mainstream media. I mean, ABC News? The NYT? Is someone at the AP wire a fan, or did Joyce Millman bribe somebody?
In any case, I probably won't be doing an Anya, both because I missed the chance for callbacks("This is, of course, ENTIRELY PLATONIC post-coital cuddling ") and because I can't possibly improve on the bedroom farce.

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