This is definitely true, but there's an extra layer of cruelty to Angelus' behavior that makes him just a little bit worse.

(And tangentially, because why not rant about this now: the curse was unfathomably stupid. Why in the world would you build in that kind of loophole? Why would you make it that easy for him to lose his soul again?)

It's the kind of thing I'm completely fine with because it's stupid in a way that's incredibly gothic. Genre conventions, basically.

[(Anonymous)]

Not unlike all the retconning around Slayer origins. Suddenly it's about old men oppressing young women, not young women with superpowers doing it for themselves? Ohhkay then.

[(Anonymous)]

Female empowerment happening as a consequence of men oppressing them is a recurring theme with joss whedon.

[(Anonymous)]

so you missed that episode in S7 where Buffy says "Fuck that shit" and rewrites the rules?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm a feminist, I get that it's empowering, but I still think what she did was kinda really horrible. A Slayer's life is terrible, bloody, and horrifying. Buffy hated it until she accepted it for herself. Faith liked the life, but it destroyed her. If it weren't for the security of the world, I would have thought that Buffy would try to end the Slayer line. (Though yes, I get the argument that more Slayers = safer world. Possibly. But you also open the door to more Faiths / Simone, or terribly traumatising someone like Dana.)

I just couldn't suspend my disbelief for it. And it made me hate all the brooding and whining that much more.
