I think the votes will be biased. I think that the homosexual community will like Satsu better now that they know she's gay.
I also think that this may have been a publicity thing. Who knows.
(this is not meant to bash or offend anyone, it is my own opinion, just as you have yours)
I picked bad choice, because I dont think Buffy should be with a woman. I'm not homophobic, it just seems OOC.

Door #3- Not sure. More evidence is needed.

im heterosexual but i love satsu and i lover satsuxbuffy (or however you write it) i just think its very empowering for her to go through that experience. and i dont think shes just using her either. i truly think she sees something in satsu and sometimes love doesnt involve gender... not that i see this lasting long

I also think that this may have been a publicity thing. Thats what I was thinking aswell. A sort of message to the fans sort of thing, who knows but Joss is going to get alot of hate mail and possitive mail this is another thing to split fans down the middle. Like the whole Buffy/Angel/Spike thing or Willow/Oz/Tara. I'm heading over to whedonesque to read more fan reaction on this, pobably the same but I wonder if Joss has commented on it. I read his inteview on it and even he seemed unsure about it again this is all just my opinion.

i dont think they would do it for publicity, i thik that after ten years these characters are writing themselevs in Joss's mind and this is what he felt was right. i mean clearly the fans werent begging for this to happen, as weve seen with reactions. so i dont know

Heres what Joss had to say on Buffy's 'experiment' with Satsu:
"Before fans start blogging frantically, they should know that i'm clear where this is headed. We’re not going to make her gay, nor are we going to take the next 50 issues explaining that she’s not. She’s young and experimenting, and did I mention open-minded?”

Yeah, but she's not that young, is the thing. And she should know better than to "experiment" with someone's feelings like that.

She may have been gentle, but I dont think Buffy have fully thought through what she has done.

I'm gonna have to go with bad too. Again, no problem with homosexuality. I loved Willow and Tara's relationship and I have gay friends myself. I just really don't think it made any sense. Like someone pointed out, Buffy's not that young. And she has a best friend who's been openly gay for, what, 4 years now? It just seems to me that had this been something she would wanna experiment with, the thought woulda crossed her mind long before now. Overall, it just felt hugely out of character to me.

I dont think that Buffy's "experimenting". She said it herself, she hasn't had sex in a really long time. Maybe she just needed a quickie.

I'm a little up and down about the whole thing too. I mean I have always felt that yea Buffy is an open minded person, and it's been a running theme that slaying is a sexually arousing experience. In a way I don't think this is out of character for Buffy. How do we honestly know she wouldn't have done this anyway in the show? She was never really faced with the option. And before it's said no I don't think she would have slept with Willow if she wanted to "experiment" Sometimes a friendship can handle something like that.
I will admit though, it does make me a little happy to get more representation in the comic world. WE don't have a lot, so yes I like that Satsu is gay, but she didn't suddenly become my favorite just because she is.
And think about it, doesn't it kinda seem like when someone shows a strong interest in Buffy she usually does end up sleeping with them? Why should this be any different. Not bashing Buffy I swear. Just an observation. (Xander is the exception for the same reason mentioned above with Willow)
And my final note, I think it's good in a way because one of Buffy's big issues throughout the span of the Buffyverse was that people just could understand what she was going through. She was the slayer how could anyone see things the way she did right? Well here is someone she can connect with because hey, both slayers. She might actually get some peace in that department for once.
So whether this because a romantic relationship or just physical I like the plot twist and I'm anxious to see what happens. Like I said in a previous post, it's gonna cause a lot of character drama and I've been anxious for more of that.
(and yea I know that it's been hinted that Buffy and Faith probably had a sexual thing at somepoint, but I didn't include that argument because Buffy clearly wouldn't have found the above mentioned peace with Faith at the time the tension was strongest.)

It seems to me the poll should be expanded, because there are two ways of looking at this:
Is this a bad move on Joss's part, or
Is this a bad move on Buffy's part.
I'd have to give a firm "No" on the first, and a firm "Maybe" on the second. It's definitely problematical for Buffy, seeing as how Satsu is under her command...

I'm not voting. Or least not yet. When I first read the issue, I hated the idea. And then re-reading it a couple times, I thought it made sense and liked it. But after thinking about it over and over again, I'm on the fence. I can see good things coming from this, and I can see bad things coming from this. Like patrick said, I need more evidence.
