You have so completely illustrated all the reasons that the entire Attempted Rape and subsequent ME manipulated white-wash of the entire event so deeply offends me.
Buffy never got the chance to work through the issues. The fans were not *allowed* to work through the issues.
Instead we were forced to deal with newly ensoulled Spike, who was NOT shown to have any major differences to unsoulled Spike, and told that the Attempted Rape couldn't be held against him. Otherwise *WE* would be the hypocrites.
Bullshit. I am still offended. Spuffy is still wrong. Thank the Gods that there was no romantic Spuffy shown in season 7. What we were forced to deal with was offensive enough, thank you very much.
