Seems like everyone has Big Feelings about Xander in every possible direction which I love. There’s so much to talk about with him.
Out of curiosity I looked up Riley tags because I feel like people just don’t have any investment in him at all. Like everyone seems to write one obligatory post about how he low-key sucks and that’s about it. We just can’t get worked up enough to even fuss about it. I don’t even know the Buffy/Riley ship name.
Hypothesis: Riley is the opposite of Xander in the fandom. Just deeply forgettable and un-discussable
If you are a passionate Riley fan or hater I’m curious to hear about it!
