Buffy fandom content thatās largely āletās shame the spuffy and spike girlies!ā (girlies used genderlessly) by constantly telling us how bad/wrong/fucked up/sick/crazy/in need of therapy we are under the guise of āconcernā for us is so crazy and so funny and so embarrassing for those creators because theyāre literally just joss whedon 2.0:
Hating/shaming/finger wagging and acting morally superior to a character/ship and their fans but at the same time being COMPLETELY dependent on said character/ship/fans you spend the majority of your time dumping on!! Like what on earth would you do for content if you took away the thing you spend 70-90% of your time shitting on??? Angel only got a 5th season BECAUSE of Spike - do you realize how crazy that is??? Joss spent all this time trying and failing to destroy Spikeās character because āit wasnāt the Spike showā (screamed in Jamesā face by joss as he is pinning him against a wall - thereās a guy whoās footsteps you want to follow in!) and then heās using Spike as a way to save Angel just a few years later ššš THAT IS SO EMBARRASSING FOR JOSS AND ANGEL š¹š¹š¹š¹
Like I am so sorry you do not understand spuffy and spike - truly. If you donāt love him and spuffy I genuinely feel sad for you because you are missing out on SO MUCH FUN, beauty, gut wrenching heart ache, angst, healing, tenderness, absolute poetry and all around sexy, slutty time - spuffy is the ship that has EVERYTHING, performed by two absolutely PHENOMENAL actors with bonkers chemistry. Spuffy just is that girl proven by the fact that the haters are making podcasts and writing books just to shit on us (like we didnāt already cover all of it enough from the showās creator, the patriarchy and the show itself???) DECADES later š¹š¹š¹
So my darling Spuffys - please donāt take these peopleās misogyny and self hatred to heart. I know weāre all often chronically misunderstood and it can be so frustrating to witness a beloved character or ship endure the same treatment of being so horribly misunderstood and to see others support them but truly theyāre just FURIOUS angel didnāt do what Spike did and that he doesnāt waste his time moping and hating himself and helps buffy to do the same. Theyāre hating from outside a club they canāt even get into because they donāt have the media literacy, emotional intelligence, and self confidence in who they are as people to love characters who are naughty and have fun doing it š
#if you googled internalized misogyny in queer women the prophecy girls podcast would be the first search result lol#everything Iāve learned about the takes on that podcast are against my will and they just keep getting worse#also thinking about the gossip column turned into a book inte every generation a slayer is born#that shit was unreadable š¹#spuffy#spuffy meta#spike and buffy#spike btvs#media literacy not everyone has it and thatās a real bummer#how you gonna hate from outside of the club when you canāt even get in#proving once again haters are in fact gonna hate cuz itās all they know how to do
