I know Spike has haters; every fucking character you can think of has haters. Grow up. But Xanderslander is a fucking plague.

You think I'm annoying? I'm one person shaking my fist and screaming at the sky. Xander bashers are relentless, and they outnumber Spike haters exponentially. Yet people want to act like Spike is in any way fandom's butt monkey and unfairly misaligned and attacked:

NO, HE IS NOT!

It's a lie, and I'm going to call out that bullshit every. single. time.

[(Anonymous)]

Seriously though, why do you care this much? Yeah, a lot of people dislike Xander and find him an unpleasant character. So what?

[(Anonymous)]

Because this is my glass of wine. This is my therapy. I've had to play nice with Xander bashers for years, and now I have an opportunity to cut loose, so I'm taking it.

If that pisses you off, *SHRUG* get used to it. I had to bite my tongue every time someone went out of their way to bash Xander knowing the majority of fandom are on their side and everyone else had to sit quietly and swallow their constant spew of hateful bile. Not a great feeling, is it?

[(Anonymous)]

DA I just want you to know, I've seen the Xanderslander and it IS exhausting. It IS everywhere, and I'm not as deeply in the fandom as you are. But I do still like Xander--I've just...ignored it, I guess? It's clearly looking back with some kind of lens, and I couldn't be bothered to care.

Your behavior though? Fucking yikes, I might have to try a lens now just to not be on YOUR side.

[(Anonymous)]

Wow. Such an effect I've had on you! Imagine having hundreds of people being as annoyingly persistent about shitting on Xander spreading their hatred every day. Entirely unprompted when you're just minding your business trying to enjoy Buffy fandom. That's what I've put up with for the past few years.

I am not and was never looking for allies. Even if I believed you ever were or intended to be an ally, I don't require your support. Never did. I'm here to shout out the truth for as long and as loudly as I can. And I have no problem doing it alone, thank you very much!

[(Anonymous)]

None of what you're saying qualifies as "truth." You've been distorting every step of the way. So what comes out of your mouth is just shouting.

And while I don't think the character has anything to do with it, I can entirely understand why the other anon would want to distance themselves from you.

[(Anonymous)]

Other anon, whoever you're talking about, can go kick rocks! This is my show. I don't need a sidekick!

[(Anonymous)]

You didn't "have to do" anything of the sort. You're justifying being too much of a coward to get into an argument in a space where you know you would be outnumbered, and bringing it into our space where you hope most of the commenters will not care enough to tell you that you're being an asshole.

If you're not just an outright troll.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not outnumbered here? Seriously? The lies never stop it seems.

[(Anonymous)]

Most of the commenters here have other interests and are not engaging you. Predictably. Whereas, if you went into a Buffy fandom space and spewed this, I can guess what sort of warm reception you'd get.

[(Anonymous)]

Not engaging me? Bullshit. I'm actually waiting for the replies to stop!

Which will be sweet, because I really do love getting the last word!

[(Anonymous)]

Jesus fucking christ. Have a glass of wine and a bath, or something.

[(Anonymous)]

After what else you've said, I have no interest in how many other people allegedly express opinions about a character that bother you, in a space you frequent voluntarily. You've admitted you are attempting to make this one unpleasant for your own benefit.

[(Anonymous)]

I am.

It's soooo cathartic!

And You can ignore me any time it pleases you. No one is forcing you to read my posts and reply. I suspect the reason you keep engaging is because you know I'm right and it irritates you that I won't shut up about it.

And I am right.

[(Anonymous)]

You're dealing with more than one anon, because when someone is unreasonable enough, here, people may decide to play cat and mouse with them for a while. For the entertainment of the rest of the community.

[(Anonymous)]

Nope. Sorry. It's just me.

Like I've said before: I don't need back-up. I've had years of experience dealing with Xanderslander by myself as one of the few a fanfic writers and Buffy fans who doesn't hate any of the characters and actually loves all of them. It's made me militant when it comes to the more intolerant wings of fandom, and their shitty, "Gotta let everyone know this character sucks," bashing.

I. can do this. all day.
