And yet more Buffy

salienneSo I'm remembering why this show used to bug me so much at times: the way people can be complete morons and jerks (or the way really touchy issues are brought up) and it is never ever ever resolved.
I mean, Buffy is a terrible awful person for running away? And we're left with Xander taking the moral high ground (after lying to her) and Willow ranting about how hard her life was with a new boyfriend and Scary Witch Powers?
And don't even get me started on the way sexual assault is handled in the Swim Team episode. Her friends get bored of her ranting about what a jerk the principal is for blaming her for defending herself? Really?
Bleh.
ETA: Selfish Buffy is selfish. I mean, Angel comes back from a hell dimension where he's been for hundreds of years and you start going on about school and your boyfriend? It's like Willow with boy>>>killing the guy you love.
Just... perspective, people. Get. Some.
