LITERALLY!!!

No one, not even Spike, thought what happened in Seeing Red was okay and all throughout season 7 we were reminded of that. Yet fucking Riley, douchebag extraordinaire, was still seen as 'in the right'??? I'm supposed to watch him whining about Buffy being emotionally unavailable WHILE HER MOM IS DYING and feel sympathy? I'm supposed to watch him project his insecurities onto her, blame her for his toxic masculinity ruining their relationship, and then listen to Xander gaslight her into thinking this was all somehow her fault, and feel something other than unbridled rage??? Fucking how???

I am increasingly grateful that Spike was so divisive in the writers' room. Both Angel and Riley were supposed to be heroes, but you have them doing things like:

Experiencing a moment of true happiness when nutting in a teenager, but not when cuddling with his own child

Cheating on Buffy and saying it's her fault

Like, knowing what we know about Whedon and the sort of toxic environment he nurtured, it's really no wonder that the dudes on staff thought these guys were sympathetic and couldn't understand why Spike was so popular when he was, you know, not doing stuff like that. Also his actual shitty behavior was called out as actually shitty by other characters and the narrative, whereas Angel and Riley (and Xander and others, lbr) were constantly devil's advocated by the same narrative, if not let off the hook entirely.

btvs don't even get me started on angel i have tons of issues with him but i think riley hits on a worse level because he's more grounded in reality like buffy and angels relationship asked the viewer to step out of reality and suspend your disbelief from the very beginning but riley is just that dickhole misogynist ex that everyone could have which is why seeing the narrative hype him up is so insulting anti riley finn until the day i fucking die

evangelicals being like "god made men to do This and be like This and women to do That and be like That that's just how it is" and it's just a picture of a white man and woman following traditional gender norms makes me so insane like you boring fascist fucks. god made 2 million species of beetles. god made whales, ducks, humans, and 1500 other species capable of same sex behavior. god made fish and amphibians that change sexes. god made more than 30 different intersex variations in human beings. god, in his infinite curiosity. wake up!!! fuck!!

I was around 16 and was watching a collab between Rowan Ellis and Alice Oseman in promotion of Loveless' release. They were going over common misconceptions about asexuality and sharing personal experiences, and it was the first time I had ever really learned anything about the label. Alice was sharing bits of her experience as an ace/aro person and I found myself relating a bit too well. That video sent me down a rabbit hole of other wonderful content creators, including the living legend Yasmin Benoit herself, and it's to them that I credit my aroace awakening.

In honor of pride🏳️‍🌈

Let's talk about our gay/queer awakening moments!

Mine was when I was like 16 scrolling through tumblr and saw a joke that said something like "If you used to make all your sims gay then you're queer now" and that just hit me like a ton of bricks lol

Also when Jade started counting in "Take a Hint" on Victorious 🥵

What's yours?
