And the fanboys were pandered to in Season 8, in my humble opinion, because Xander was suddenly The Dude every girl wanted
Part it was probably also that he was the only young, straight dude around (since Robin was conspicuously absent), but then, that might have been intentional to ensure the fanboy pandering.
though I'd argue it was the same need for connection that caused her to boink Twangel caused her to think Xander was a viable sexual partner, incestuous as that seems to everyone but Banders
Definitely. I think the Bander moments and her relationship with Satsu both demonstrate that Buffy was feeling pretty lonely and isolated.
I like the word pandering.
So it would appear. It's a fun word to say three times fast. :D
