Prototypic 03/25/24 5:45:05 PM #39:	That's like a staple of the vampire genre, even going back to Count Dracula creeping on Mina Harker, and I don't think it's actually become that much less common since the days of Buffy, except in that vampire fiction seems to be on the downswing these days in general compared to the 1990s and 2000s. --- Thus I became a madman. <cite>Prototypic posted [p:979558874] in Remember w...

Angel was supposed to be like eternally 16 right? He was at least 18. I think they aged him up to his 20s later. I don't really think the loli comparison is valid either. The 1000 year old loli is justification for older men to lust over someone who looks like a child. This is stuff specifically designed for teenage girls. The vampire is permanently a teenager/young adult and falls in love with the protagonist girl who isn't understood by her peers for whatever reason. --- A Fallen Mascot <cite>Punished_Blinx posted [p:979558937] in Remember w...

Don't get me wrong I watched the whole show and liked it but that doesn't mean that their relationships were disgusting and problematic. They are essentially old as men in teenage bodies preying upon teenagers.

WingsOfGood 03/25/24 9:11:56 PM #46:	TheShadowViper posted... It's amazing that you just defeated your own argument with your own statement and then tried to act like you didn't. But I guess after getting hit with the genres you had nothing in the tank but giving ground. Buffy the Vampire Slayer can absolutely, and unequivocally, be watched whether you care about the romance or not. Your advice was shit. And let me remind you what you said since you have seemingly already forgotten. Devolving Buffy The Vampire Slayer into "a romance story" is inaccurate and quite honestly just dumb. I watched the show solely for the supernatural element and its "monster of the week" setup when it originally aired. There are like a dozen other things one could watch the show for and enjoy it without even touching the romance. I didn't defeat my own argument. It is literally THE central plot. 1. Can a slayer have...romance? 2. Can a slayer have romance... With a vampire she is sworn to slay 3. Can she be a normal girl? A normal girl....has romance Like, thay IS the fucking show. Holy moly Did you realize Twilight is romance despite having superhero fights in it? Like the thing to talk about when Buffy was airing was will she pick Spike or Angel, or neither. <cite>WingsOfGood posted [p:979562589] in Remember w...
