The Ducks are back!
Remember those Buffy/Angel 'shippers? Well, when they're not sending cookies to Joss Whedon and asking him to reunite these sole-mates, they're attacking another fictional character: Spike. This time, Ducks created a site explaining why she is anti-Spuffy, and it has nothing to do with B/A, really it doesn't.
"Joss Whedon may think rape is a joke... something to use as a plot point... a character portrait... a step on his favorite anti-hero's 'journey'... and then that it's okay to just sweep it under the rug, mock fans who are offended by the utter lack of respect and seriousness given this grave subject on BtVS... but the thousands of women, girls, and men raped every year don't. I CERTAINLY DON'T."
Ducks not only goes after the Blondie Bear but his fans as well. "How is it that Mutant Enemy completely DISMISSED ANY discussion of those feelings, and immediately pandered to their Spuggy [sic] fanbase by implying that the Attempted Rape was HER responsibility?"
"Spuggy"? Is Ducks so mad she can't check for typos? Anyhoo, Buffyx -- self-proclaimed "avid Spike Fan" -- is annoyed and decides to mock it by putting up The Anti Abuse Site</a>.
"Joss Whedon may think that domestic abuse is a joke…something to utilize as a plot point, something to ignore because his 'heroic' character was simply 'in a bad place,' and then simply never address this SERIOUS issue in our society. However, I am sure the countless women, children and men (yes, it's a growing problem) do not take his flippancy and basic disregard for morality lightly. WE CERTAINLY DON'T."
In her/his LJ, buffyx claims "It's a parody site based on the original. . . . I guess I'm just tired of the double standard many of the antis have when comparing Spike and Buffy. I found the relationship to be equally and mutually abusing on both sides. So, my site was not intended to mock domestic abuse victims. Really, it wasn't. This was just to make myself feel better more than anything."
Let the quacking . . . er, wanking . . . begin!
