Fanfiction will remain my safe haven. There are so many things that irked me about BtVS that, over the years, I was able to ignore and still enjoy the show, but not anymore. I used to think that Joss was trying to be subversive by giving a female superhero negatively-stereotypical female flaws- too much attention to fashion and make-up over pressing issues, the horrible woman driver, and the inability to fire a gun without causing massive damage. Now I just think that Joss is a jerk and he grafted Rambo onto a Valley Girl because he apparently has never met an actual empowered woman and thought that what he was doing was "feminist."

I am totally going to post my meta. Tommy the Green/White Ranger is a total analogue for Angel.
