There was no parading of the gay character around to be shown off, no virtue signalling, no hyped up claims of being diverse and inclusive. Willow was gay and everyone said okay. No backlash, no criticism except perhaps for her choice of girlfriend Tara.
And thats how it should be. Willow was treated as normal, her coming out was treated as normal. She was not put on a pedestal for being gay. There was no big song and dance about it. I think today, Buffy the Vampire Slayer would have been advertised as a stunning and brave woke show even if the actual show was unchanged from the show we did get. --- "Well, it's not a bad game.

You are remembering thing very wrong, as an fyi. This is what is known as revisionist history.

Social media didn't exist back then. All we had were chatrooms skewed by moderator bias, say one bad thing and you were banned for life. And the mods were total Buffy fanboys.

I feel like a lot of the people who would have a problem with it wouldn't really be watching the show in the first place but I could be wrong.
What was wrong with Tara? --- We all ate the biscuits, Fighter. We can all see through time. [ER] ... Copied to Clipboard!

Discussion of it was limited, but Buffy had one of the biggest online communities at the time, and you can still see the nerd rage if you know where to look. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Wdym no hype up or song and dance, Willow coming out was part of why the show is put on such a high pedestal for what it was.
