Get your Xander!hate on!

eleusis_walks is doing his 30 Days of BtVS, and even though there are many, many topics I strongly disagree with him on, he is always thoughtful and awesome and interesting. And the things I do agree with him on? I agree violently.

Like our mutual hate for the ultimate Nice Guy Xander Harris. He basically lists every single hateful thing that Xander ever says/does and I am glorying in my hate. He also has a love-post devoted to Anya, which I haven't gotten to read yet, but I know is wonderful because anything involving Anya is wonderful. And

eleusis_walks loves Dawn and Cordy and Jenny and basically a ton of awesome ladies, so I forgive him for not loving my boy and my girl enough. ;D

So join the hate fest! Or if you like Xander...well, I would like to hear why. Because it is beyond my understanding.

I guess I just don't see him ever actually being educated. If he started out where he does and ended up some place completely different, I could appreciate him.

And I can't think of a single character who's supposed to be the "heart" that I actually like. So there is that, ou're right.

but there also lots of moments where he is a genuinely good friend.

I just think he's incapable of being a good friend to women he's attracted to. He can be a good friend to Willow, but I don't like his treatment--ever--of Cordy or Anya and it's very, very rare where I don't hate him where Buffy's concerned.
