#spuffy fans

I do get a kick out of how Spuffy fans (not the ship, the fans themselves) live rent-free in some people's heads.

Thanks for having me over. What's for dinner?

Somebody else called my attention to one more attack to Spuffy fans – you know, those who “deserve to be raped for supporting such a VILE ship”, so I’ve decided to throw my two cents:

Spuffy fans are just terrible, they even threatened Sarah Michelle Gellar’s life over her choice for Bangel!

Please, while I agree about the very bad taste of such messages as well as how they are gross and totally uncalled for, if the threats were something resembling a real danger, Sarah would NEVER have talked so lightly about them in an interview – she’s a mom of two, and obviously any (real) threat to her life would be also a threat to her children, and it would have been properly handled (by the Law). They were probably written by teenagers who still don’t know how to behave online. So, think people, and stop making a big deal out of it.

And Bangel fans are so very nice and sane – until, of course, Sarah congratulates James Marsters for his Birthday (The Sin!), and signs “your pet” (The Horror!). Just take a look on Sarah’s Twitter, and you’ll see some of them harassing her over such a trivial matter; imagine the private messages poor Sarah probably – no, certainly - received!

By this small example, I just can see the Bangels’s nicety be thrown out the window if, God forbid, Sarah made the mistake of changing her mind… LOL

The fact is that, there are clueless people in both camps.

Edit: I forgot to mention that writer Christos Gage (BtVS comics) was also harassed in his Twitter by a Bangel fan (over the Spufiness of Season 10) - he had to block her.
