Oh dear god, I'm afraid this women annoys me....

The fandom moral high ground in full display mode, and this was only posted recently too. When will people just let others enjoy what they want to enjoy?

Not going to watch it. Can you give me the gist?

[shadowkat]

To echo rebcake below?

Head-ache inducing rant that reminded me of why I tend to stay away from certain areas of fandom. Nothing substantive, nor anything you haven't read or heard before. (Example? "Fans forgave Spike everything he did to Buffy once he got a soul, how dare they! They are so stupid! Stupid! I say. Stupid!" and "Fans said Buffy brought the attempted rape on herself -- this makes me crazy! How dare they! They are evil! Evil! I say. Evil fans!" (okay I'm paraphrasing.))

I stopped after about a minute of it.

Have to say, that was pretty much what I was expecting. Hence my decision not to watch. Seen/heard it all before and have now got to the I-know-what-I-think-and-I-don't-care-what-you-think stage where stuff like this is concerned.

[sueworld]

Oh it would take too long to detail it I'm afraid, but just saying she has a superiority complex and a hatred of Spuffy/Spike might sum it up. *g*

[shapinglight]

Ah.

Don't think I'm missing anything then.

[rebcake]

I had to turn it off after a couple of minutes. She's doesn't seem to be saying anything substantive about the fandom, just complaining about people who disagree with her interpretation.

I'm sure I could come up with 7 things that fans say that are not actually in the show, but I'm not going to listen to 15 minutes of somebody's screed. If she wrote hers down in bullet points, I might be able to find something I agree with.

The weird thing is, if she's not talking about Spike, she actually writes some very interesting meta. (She's been linked on the Herald many times.) Once Spike enters the picture, though, she just loses it.

[sueworld]

Oh christ, I noticed! *g*

[sueworld]

Exactly. She was making too many sweeping statements that just seemed to be aimed at one section of the fandom.

[rahirah]

Eh, she's completely irrational on the subject of Spike. I just ignore her.

[sueworld]

Best thing. I just wish I had the enough self control to do that too.

[thenewbuzwuzz]

I stopped after the first sentence she said about Spike. :D

[sueworld]

Best bet really as It just goes downhill from there. *g*
