sombrefanA lot of it was glorious, some of it was batshit crazy. Here's the crazy stuff, cause we're fans and we love the negative.
This is how I remember it
1) The endless (personal) Noxon bashing.
2) Snarky message boards thinking it was cool to call SMG a ****. And bitch about her weight.
3) The "Why Spike is a rapist" website and the subsequent parody of said site.
4) Tara fans refusing to believe that the show went on after season 5.
5) The bitter nasty shipping wars
6) Older fans getting annoyed with the newer fans who just wanted to talk about how hawt their favourite actors were.
7) The "I will never watch this show again" mantra after every episode aired.
8) The "why don't they just call the show Spike?", "Why shouldn't they?" debates.
9) 20th Century Fox sending C&D notices to fansites.
10) The attacks on the writers.
