Hey, y'all!

Get your Xander!hate on! [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Oh, we're cool here. I understand that need to vent. I just have this knee-jerk reaction of PANIIIIIIC when I see a lot of bashing going on, because I start automatically counting the minutes 'til a big fan-war erupts.

I wanted this post to be more balanced, and I think people really stepped up to the plate for that, and I'm glad.

I am glad too. Tbh, what I was worried about was that some Xander fans might show up and become defensive and then get mass-attacked for disagreeing. That stuff always makes me feel a little sick. But I acknowledge that I was probably overreacting there. :)
