So you agree that people derailing conversations to bitch about Xander is annoying...

(Anonymous) 2023-05-09 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Xander bashing is worse than Spike bashing, which barely exists in the natural world. It's offensive anyone thinks it's even close or matters. And hey, have a taste of what I have to put up with every single day I participate in Buffy spaces. Isn't it annoying? And I'm just one person. Imagine dozens, if not hundreds doing it constantly. Imagine.

One more time for those in the nosebleeds: Complaining about Spike bashing is bullshit.

Nah. I would have sympathized with you, if you didn't have this overriding need to claim you had it worse than anyone, and were the most deserving of attention, and bashed a real person who bothered to leave an entirely valid secret to do it. I don't care about what people aim at a fictional character nearly as much as I care what they're willing to say and do to a real person, here.

I don't need your fucking sympathy. I'm not here to be sympathetic. I'm here to call out bullshit. And I'm going to be as loud and unyielding as Xander bashers are. I can do this all fucking day.

Also, believing Spike is hated in Buffy fandom in any significant way is BULLSHIT.

You're not "calling out bullshit." You're just making a nuisance of yourself.

(Anonymous) 2023-05-10 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow. Now you're getting it! I'm just giving back the same energy Xander bashers give.

(Anonymous) 2023-05-10 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
No. You’re making an ass of yourself in a uniquely embarrassing way. There’s nothing wrong with people not liking Xander, just because you do.

(Anonymous) 2023-05-10 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't care if people don't like Xander. I barely liked Xander for years. My gripe is this secret whined about a problem that doesn't exist anywhere but a very small part of fandom. So what one or two people called Spike a bad word on twitter? Where you can find people who hate Tom Fucking Hanks and Betty Fucking White.

So. What?

Long after the show ended Spike's still one of the most popular Buffy characters.

I. fucking. love Spike.

Spike got to star in Angel and was this close to getting his own spin off after that ended because he's so popular. He's gotten three Spike comic book series. Other than Buffy herself, fanfic with him dominates fanfiction.

Spike is not hated, and it's that lie that's making flames come out the side of my face. And so, I'm going to call out the lie he is because I can. And I'll do it with a clear conscious because I'm not hurting anyone by doing it, and because. I'm. Right.

You have no idea what the OP is talking about, and the way you brought up your claims, they have zero incentive to tell us. You say that what they're complaining about is minor, but in fact, you don't know anything. Not about them, not about the friends they stayed quiet around, zip. You are assuming a lot, very self-righteously, and making a complete ass of yourself in the process.

Coming into a space where people tell each other about fictional things they care about, to yell at the secret maker, belittle, and insult them, is most certainly an attempt at hurting someone. You are parading around sheer aggression, and then claiming it's harmless. You're wrong, when you do all of this.

And yet no one has to read anything I've posted. No one has to reply to any of it. I could have been ignored from jump street, but for some reason I've gotten all these replies telling me to shut up.

I wonder why?

No, I don't. I know why: I'm right about Xanderslander, and they know it. Just like they know Spike bashing being a real thing is so fucking thin it's a fucking knock-knock joke by comparison.

All I'm doing is venting. No one has to take anything I write here seriously. You can literally get me to shut up but not replying to me.

That's it. That's all you need to do. But you won't.

I wonder why?

(Anonymous) 2023-05-11 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
You got all these replies telling you we've no use for what you're doing because this was our way of expressing support for the OP, and for anyone else here who is occasionally beset by someone completely unreasonable. I commented to find out who I was dealing with, and then to make it clear that this behavior is neither appreciated nor allowed to stand unchallenged.

Initially, I was talking to you. You forfeited that by proving yourself unworthy of intelligent conversation. From there on, I was engaging for the benefit of other fandom!secret anons.

I hope the lurkers enjoyed the scuffle! I'll see you guys later in the active post.

(Anonymous) 2023-05-11 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure, they were. Sure. Just be honest, you just can't stand to have your lies and your support of lies called out. If what I wrote didn't matter to you, you would have ignored me from the start. But you couldn't. Because you know I'm right and couldn't stand it and had to shout me down by the dozens.

Nice try trying to take the high road though.

LOL, nicely done, there.
