LOL I loved this rant. I'm fine with Willow not being gay pre-Tara because until Tara came along and swept us all away Willow was smitten as a kitten with Oz & Xander. I have a huge soft spot for Willow and Oz but I know what you're talking about when Willow magically becomes un-gay. I wonder if the episode in Season 7 (I think it was 'Him') when all the girls fell for that HS jock if and Willow was lusting after him if that was a joke about fanfic writers making Willow un-gay. I can't remember what was really going on with fanfiction at that point but it could be like how Kripke made it a point a few times in SPN episodes last season to point out that neither of the boys were gay or interested in each other 'that' way.
I'm fine with Pre-Tara stories with Oz, but after Tara...SHE WAS GAY!
I really hate it when writers make gay characters straight. Drives me nuts. It always seems like they are trying to "fix" them.
I've always had the mentality that one's sexuality was part of who you are. Gay or straight, either is fine! But it is an integeral part of who you are. It just doesn't feel right to me to just remove parts of a character and insert something else contary to that very part.
Even if it is just a silly fanfic.
People aren't Jenga towers. You can't just pull out the parts that you don't like b/c you don't like them that way!
Now don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying that there should be a ban on those stories or anything.
I'm saying that I hate them. Those "OH MY, I'm gay and yet I find myself uncontrollably attracted to you. Take me now, you sexy man-beast!"
