I'm also seeing all those lists about how Willow was a horrible, horrible person, exclusionary, etc.
It's double standards again I guess. Cordelia was outright portrayed as someone who had exclusive standards and could judge others, so that was okay, but then fandom feels the need to fixate more on Willow's issues with other women because they feel like it's not acknowledged enough in canon maybe?
But yeah, Corelia does seem like a huge fan favourite these days with newer fans on tumblr especially. I like Cordelia a lot more on Ats, and I would say that I appreciated her for her humour on Bts definitely, but I don't get why fandom wants to frame her as a character who is just somehow more honest and better than everyone around her, even though she was always written as a character who was very elitist and someone who could be oblivious to the feelings of others. Are her comments in Go Fish for example on the perks for high school jocks ("What about that nutty all men are created equal?"/"Propaganda from the ugly and less deserving") somehow more acceptable just because she doesn't feel the need to sugar-coat her views?
