Hmpff...for all my "misogynistic" language, at least I never stooped to the creepy perverseness of muffin euphemisms. Take a hike, Lady Gaga. Gross.
I see Warren as a murderer who used mind control to rape so I cannot feel too sorry for him. Rack is a whole other case and Willow didn't kill Warren's two partners that I remember.
Pot calling the kettle black. Willow had no qualms about using magic to control Tara, making her lose memories so she would stay in the relationship. She slept with her under a magical influence, effectively rape. It's a creepy parallel to what Warren did, though admittedly not as bad. At least in the show it's acknowledged that Warren attempted rape...Willow gets rewarded for her lecherous misdeeds.
No. You said they were all "atrocities". But by all means continue to act as if "manipulative" is a magic get out of jail free card when you get caught. Because that's at least amusing.
You said it was a list of atrocities. Not "a list made up of some atrocities and also some other stuff I threw in to fill it out".
You indicated living in someone's house without paying rent is an atrocity.
And that's ridiculous bullshit.
Calm down love. In context, it's an atrocity - hiding Buffy's death from her father, living in her house while unemployed, resurrecting Buffy from the dead and effectively traumatizing her and then expecting her to get a job and pay the way is something only a sociopath would do without getting guilt pangs. And she's not grateful at all - she repays Buffy by almost killing Dawn and then attempting to destroy the world. If I were Buffy, I would NEVER speak to Willow again.
Just saw this on Buzzfeed,
117 Buffyverse characters ranked from worst to best
Willow came No.1 as best
...I'm guessing
Apple Goblin didn't compile that list
This is a DISGRACE. Willow would not make my top one hundred. A random dusted-in-a-minute minion is more likable than that selfish nobody. And Xander Harris in the top ten? No. Just no.
Willow also had
questionable fashion sense, which I think we can all agree was a latent hint at her demonic sadism and genocidal tendencies.
Willow's clothing was fucking painful, I'm glad Cordelia had the backbone to point out how awful she looked.
I had a moment of revelation about Willow when I recently saw a bit of the season four episode Something Blue again, and it hit me in retrospect how everything that is bad about the show in Season Six is basically crammed into this one episode as "Wa-hey! Willow's all messed up and causes wacky hijinks with her powers!". I mean, even Buffy and Spike getting hitched. It's like Season Six in microcosm. Except, y'know, it's in Season Four.
It's quite subversive, but that episode basically says how potentially evil she could be. In fact she practically is bad in that episode, but it gets masked under the pretense that we're supposed to care about little ol' Willow (whereas in Season Six we're supposed to think, "What a bitch!").
So yeah, count me in the "Willow was bad all along" group.
Something Blue is very revelatory, I should have wrote about it more in my OP as you are right, it's an excellent preview of her sick mind. Many Willow haters say it began in series four.
I think what I hate most about Willow is her one-dimensional view of life, as if her emotional pain trumps everyone else's. That kind of thinking is the sign of a rotten mind and an ugly heart.
