Who says Buffy fandom's dead and buried...?

'cause it's just like those vampires -- they're back and wankier than ever!

Let's trace the steps:

  1. Jennifer-Oksana goes to San Diego Comic Con.
  2. The Angel panel is filled with people asking about Buffy, Spike, and one woman taking 10 minutes to ask the Angel writers (a fair amount who haven't worked on Buffy at all) about the attempted rape in "Seeing Red".
  3. Jen comes home from the con, and Jen complains
  4. People like her complaining.
  5. Jen gets an idea, and starts a list devoted to Angel without Spike talk.
  6. People join.
  7. Jen is amazed and starts a community.
  8. People join.
  9. Jen gets wind of people who think she's being a raving anti-Spike fanatic, no better than the "Spikemafia" she keeps complaining about.
  10. Jen complains some more.

Ah...being labelled "anti-Spike". That little witch hunt of wanky goodness has been going on in one from or another for the past five years...

Ah, the futile desire to discuss a series without all discussions being about a popular character 24-7. As familiar and wanky as ever; it's a good source of entertainment, but after a while, it gets tiring.

May I just say that minor characters need love too? Like that random guy in episode whatever. Yeah.

But... But... But what would be their cutesy pairing name? You can't have a Buffy pairing without a cutesy pairing name!

Hmm... AnnointedCheese? No... Damn, I can't think of anything! And I so wanted them to be my new OTP! *cries*

AnnointedCheese sounds more like someone's LJ name instead of a pairing... how about Cheenointed?

Oh! And we can call the Mayor / Cheese Man pairing "Mayor McCheese"! Beautiful!

The cheese man wears naught but the cheese, but the cheese wears not him. None can penetrate the love that binds the cheese man to his cheese.

Besides, the cheese man is clearly the First Slayer's bitch.

Tchuh.

No, no, no... The Judge is the bitch of the little mystic girl in the room you get to from the elevator with the disappearing button on Angel! Death cannot keep them apart! Judge and little mystic girl in the room you get to from the elevator with the disappearing button forEVER!

Oh, come on, where's the canonical support for that? You're just saying that to be contrary. See, the cheese man exists in the realm of the dream and that which is past, just like the FS. In fact, he's probably a lot more powerful than he appears, and may in fact be a personal favorite of Morpheus, his little quirk that he bring out whenever he's feeling . . .

Oh, wait, wrong dreamworld.

Is it bad for me to agree wholeheartedly with everything she had to say?

I mean yes Spike is hot, and yeah he had his moments, but I think he's become the Beaded Pony of Buffy.

Yeah there are other characters and maybe people want to talk about them?

I think beaded ponies are starting to become conversational pieces. Besides, no-Spike isn't the same as anti-Spike. There's a difference between not talking about someone and bashing the person.

Well I don't think the poster HATES Spike, I think she's genuinely annoyed at the flat out obessesion some Spike fans have.

I mean even people who love Spike agree that it's getting a little out of hand.

That's basically what I was saying. I mean, Spike's a very interesting character and the actor is a hunk of pretty man meat, but I support the "no-Spike talk" thing. Again, there's a difference between getting tired of all the talk (no-Spike) and hating the character (anti-Spike).

>>but I support the "no-Spike talk" thing. Again, there's a difference between getting tired of all the talk (no-Spike) and hating the character (anti-Spike).<<

That's kinda my point. I don't think she hates Spike and anyone who likes him, I think she's just annoyed at the constant harping and obessesing about him.

[Besides anyone who names a community after a altered Simpsons quote strikes me as someone with a decent sense of humor.]

You have a point. Two, actually, when you take the altered Simpsons quote into consideration.

Wanky? Yes. But, hell, why not? I'm sick of every discussion about AtS and BtVS being All About Spike, and I like pre-Buffy-wuvin' Spike.

But look! A Spikefan strikes back!
</blockquote> This is a group for people to talk about the television show AtS (spinoff of Buffy the Vampire Slayer), but any discussion of the title character is prohibited. Let's talk about all the other characters instead! </blockquote>
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't [info]jennyo's point that Spike is not the main character of AtS and therefore shouldn't enter into Every. Single. Discussion. about the show? I guess it's true: some Spikefen do believe that the show is all about Spikey-kins.

Hey, I don't believe that BtVS is all about Spike! ... If it was, it wouldn't have gotten to where it SUCKED LIKE A FORMER POP IDOL TRYING TO GET AIRTIME ON MTV!

Okay, wandering around the archives and a few years too late but -- dudes! THAT WAS A JOKE!

(And I'm sorry, but it is wanky to discuss a show but forbid discussion of one of the characters on the show. That's wanky... hence the mocking site forbidding discussion of a character on a show.)

Hmm. So that's how it started. There'd been giggling over the whole wankfest on my LJ friends' list the past couple days, but I didn't actually have the whole backstory. I knew enough at first to think it was pretty damn funny, though. Looks like the first impression was right.

I actually like Spike, but I'm not one of those 'omg liek spike is totally like jesus in a way!' "Spikemafia" fen they were talking about. And the behaviour in the forums of some of those people is truly embarrassing to the saner among us at times.

*sigh* This is why I distance myself from certain segments of the Buffy fen. 'Cause the extremists are scaaaaaary. They're like tinhats, in a way. Only without the cute foil accessories.
