#what if we showed this xander-like character becoming much more mellow and confident once he‘a accepted by his peers for being gay?

I love how season 3 of Buffy was like oh Xander is gay btw. But only for the bit.

#xander Harris #btvs #buffy The vampire Slayer #I’m joking btw this is a joke #the writers really were like what if we made a character that made a lot of sexist comments similar to xander #what if we showed that xander-like character was only making those sorts of comments because he was actually just overcompensating for #being gay by over performing masculinity to the point of toxicity? that this xander-like character was actually just insecure? #what if we showed this xander-like character becoming much more mellow and confident once he‘a accepted by his peers for being gay? #what if he has a tender heart to heart with xander assuming xander is also gay and xander makes no move to correct him #what if xander doesn’t correct him for the rest of the season huh? #what if guys? what then?
