What Warren almost did to Katrina, what Xander tried to do to Buffy in the Pack and Spike to Buffy in Seeing Red was dealt with, and was clearly shown to be bad. But when the males of the show could be assualted there was no consequences. It could be they would have written the scene the same way if the genders were reversed, and Darla was male and Angel female, but in that case, it I guess it would at the very least have caused a bigger stir in the fandom and among the critics.<br /><br />Btw, when did the masurbation occure? Seems like something I would remember.Skytteflickan88https://www.blogger.com/profile/06878015080796381570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644089681244033059.post-61796032142463158282012-05-22T00:41:26.889+02:002012-05-22T00:41:26.889+02:00The writers weren't ignoring the seriousness o...The writers weren't ignoring the seriousness of sexual assault because Angel is male. That is just how they handle those situations. I mean, look at how MANY times Buffy has been violated, nearly raped, and sci-fi raped (that category has things like the time Faith used a device to switch body's with Buffy against Buffy's will, got naked and masturbated in Buffy's body, and then had sex with a man while in Buffy's body).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
