When I first came into the fandom (somewhere around 2008) there was a whole group of people who believed that Buffy was the worst. Egocentric, selfish, incapable to love and so on.
I kinda agreed, at first, because idk?, maybe they were right and we had a whole lot of dudes (Angel, Riley, Spike ...) to prove that love and Buffy were unmixy things. But after a little bit of pondering and rewatching ... FUCK NO!
Buffy is generous, everything considered, and she really cares about the people she loves! She has to deal with a lot of "pretty crucial" stuff, to quote Willow, and of course that sets priorities, but don't ever come to me and tell me that Buffy is a selfcentered, whiny girl because I could burn cities to the ground.
She's just under a lot more scrutiny than Angel because she has ovaries. That's it.
The Wishverse doesn't really make sense in terms of how the people live. Especially Giles having, like, his base in the library, where anyone can come at any given time, huh?? You expect that, being under siege after three years, these people know better.
