Hey, y'all!

[lirazel]

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.

to chime in to you for a second since i am on the haterade train so often they made me conductor, this.

look, sometimes people on television suck. and sometimes who watch television suck and think awesome characters are terrible. i'm an angel stan. things we know. if i let hate keep me out of this fandom then i would have walked myself out three months ago. sometimes people need defending and sometimes people need to be shut down. it's not about everyone being nice to each other - as an angel and cordelia and angel/cordelia fan i will tell you that much. this fandom isn't nice. it will never be nice. what it is is privileging fandom favorites, even if they are horrible people because they are fandom favorites, because fandom connects with them on one level or another, and that's not just behavior or a good fandom, that's allowing fandoms that are cast in good lights based purely on nostalgia to walk free of the shit they pull.

and that's just fucked up. i will conduct this haterade train for all of time because sometimes people need to be hated on. c's one essay v. the entire MASSIVE btvs fandom loving xander is a drop in the bucket the size of kentucky. and it also needed to be fucking said.

that is all lauren thank you for your time and listening to my rant i will now accept all comments telling me am wrong. this entire fandom drives me nuts sometimes, i swear. hence: cannot shut up about it. :)
