Oh, no, that was back during Crush. Horrible thing to say. Can't help but wonder what some people were seeing in Spike back then though. Remember this was first airing and fans had no clue about following storylines. Intervention had not aired or anything like that. So I can't really blame the writers for being baffled that fans were "siding" with Spike at that time, but still, you can't insult your fanbase. Like I said in that one discussion in my LJ, the writers and fans were too close together during S5 and S6. I'm of the opinion that interactions should be kept to a minimum.
What does he roar?
He literally roars, then goes into his rant about why those bitches torture him so. What colors it for me is his reaction of why didn't he think of doing anything while she was unconscious (and the subsequent cut scene from Smashed with the tazor). Just adds another layer of ick to it.
some *ahem* Spuffy or late-seasons orientated LJ's that claimed a largely feminist framework and people LOVED Crush,
Weeeell, my opinions on that are kind of controversial. Mostly 'cause I think there are a lot of those people are full of it. Some interpretations are just bizarre to me, particularly about S6 and the Spuffy therein. Sort of like the tendency for people to say "Now, I would NEVER try to blame the victim..." then, you know, go on to do exactly that.
