Less a correction and more a clarification of point 5: a vampire is a dead body in which a demonic spirit is residing. The demon has access to the body’s memories and basically “thinks” that it’s the person, but it’s a creature of remorseless hunger and sadism. The ensouled Angel and Spike still struggle with the…

Was the Immortal a soulless vampire? I don’t think they ever confirmed exactly what kind of supernatural being The Immortal was—the vagueness was supposed to be part of the humor (and it did not work).

What’s wild is that I still say a lot of nice things about Joss’s writing, but even I think this article gives him too much credit and makes these shows out to be far more progressive on LGBT issues than they actually were.

Ugh also the line where she was like “it’s a good thing I’m gay now!” - I think in context of Xander dating Anya. Even if they weren’t allowed to make her openly bisexual, they could have *not* had those lines.

Oh, there’s a bunch of inaccuracies in this article.

“Buffy and Faith being extremely hetrosexual gal pals.”

That would have been a great idea. I didn’t really mind Kennedy, but a Faith/Willow relationship has so many dynamics to explore,  especially as they were both slowly rebuilding their lives and also because Faith had not ever had a stable relationship, while Willow had mostly just had relationships she idealized and…

I’m sure someone will tell you you’re wrong, but, as a queer viewer (admittedly I did not watch Angel faithfully as I got sick of it during season 3, so I may have missed something), I also did not ever get any great sense of a sexual desire or relationship between Spike and Angel. Yes, the implication was that…

“The choice to make only non-human characters canonically queer carries on the tradition of using mysticism as code for queerness; on Buffy, characters are allowed to be both supernatural and queer.”

I am straight, so please take this comment with a grain of salt and let me know if I am missing something here.

My understanding is that simply having a sexual experience here and there with the same gender is not enough to make someone “queer.” Many men and many more women report having had isolated same-sex sexual…

As disappointing as it was to learn what an asshole Whedon is, I think the fact that people were so disappointed is arguably a compliment to the quality of his work as far as representation goes. I doubt anyone heard about the revelations about, say, Brett Ratner, and reacted like “Damn, I expected better from him.”

I worked in the studios next door to these while it shot. Through the big bay doors, the sets looked awesome, and all of the dancing cast wandering around in their outfits(and masks) looked fun as hell. I wondered when this was gonna see the light of day. I’m interested to see how it turned out. 

That goat did an awesome job, too.

Watch The WWitch! And go into it thinking “very dark drama” and not straight up horror. There are a lot of horror junkies that love to declare it the worst movie ever because of the massive hype it got when released. I guess it didn’t have enough gore, CGI, and jump scares for their liking.

But gaslighting has always meant that. Don’t you remember? You said so yourself, many times. Are you sure you’re OK? You’ve been acting very strangely lately. Maybe you should take a sedative and lie down. You’ve been under a lot of strain, and you seem to be forgetting a lot of things. 

Lol okay. This isn’t quite on the level of stupidity “Ellie Kemper: KKK Princess” was, but it’s close.

And if it’s not obvious enough, Tyler is also someone who should not be saying anti-Asian racial slurs.

If she’s not into getting shivers, crying, feeling devastated, and having childhood trauma triggered she might want to reconsider working with David O. Russell.

Now do Classical Gas! 

I mean, Luca is about a boy who feels like his family no longer understands him then finds another boy with whom he feels he can be his true self and together they want to run off and see the world together.
