There is one fandom that is more batshit crazy than the Buffyverse one.

And that's the Harry Potter fandom. Hilarious Observer article.

Redemption! How I've missed you.

"Snape, who's been the baddie through six books, is almost universally adored, something which puzzles me until Debbie McLain, a volunteer and 'stay-athome mum' who's the main organiser of Lumos, explains it to me by saying that 'a lot of women are drawn to the characters who they hope may experience redemption'. "

Seriously? I mean, really, seriously? NO WAY.
Women being drawn to Angel, Spike, Logan, Lex Luthor, Jayne and other bad boys is puzzling? Who would have thought. That's not something that has ever happened before.

Apparently, this journalist has *never* watched one single episode of Buffy or, you know, watched any TV at all.

Well, what do I expect, she did't actually read the HP books either.

Hilarious. I love that paragraph.
