Hey, y'all!

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 don't hate Xander. Other people have provided defenses that hit a lot of points I agree with (and having spent some time lately avoiding fandom because of the toxic atmosphere, I definitely get where ohwaluvusbab is coming from). But even if I thought he was totally irredeemable, I just don't have the mental energy to hate him. He's a fictional character. It's just not worth it. I'd much rather spend my time and energy on things that make me happy.
