Re: "and he proudly named Willow."

[Zoe Cohen <macgrrl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Okay, I wasn't going to say anything, but I have to. I'm getting sick 
and tired of people dumping of Joss' portrayal of Willow and Tara. His 
point throughout the show has been that power comes with responsibility 
and that when someone become really powerful it comes with the danger 
that they might not be able to control themselves. This happened to 
Willow. She later learns to control her power, but after what happened 
to her who in their right minds wouldn't be afraid to try again??? 
Besides, if he didn't put up obstacles to her power, she would be able 
to fix any bad situation making everyone else unnecessary.

I'm just getting tired of people saying "Oh, if Willow becomes evil 
that must mean that all lesbians are evil." No this just means that 
people who use dark magic without being relly careful might become 
evil. Doesn't anyone remember Amy? She lured Willow into the dark 
arts and took Willow to her "dealer". This seems more like an analogy 
to drugs than the dangers of lesbianism. Some people just read way too 
much into this in order to further their already formed opinions.

Okay, sorry about that. I've just been holding this in since that 
article I read in Diva. Please try not to take this personally. I 
welcome any feedback (just try not to cuss me out please :) )
