>>16839097Oz was completely emotionally available and they were close and affectionate and when he got date-raped by that werewolf skank and went to Tibet to get his shit together Willow was fucking devastated.
Tara was harmless woman-child who Willow was drawn to because Tara was a hopeless wreck who couldn't function on her own and Willow saw this girl and felt bad for her and related to the pain and loneliness and bewilderment that Tara felt.
But see, Willow felt pain and loneliness and bewilderment because she had been in love with Oz and Oz left so he could find a way to not keep jurting Willow. Tara felt pain because she kept forgetting to open doors, loneliness because the TV didn't talk back to her and bewilderment because she had an IQ of 40.
Their relationship was empty and vapid and Willow therefore turned to hard-core drug abuse to try and make herself feel something, anything, because her relationship with Tara consisted of equal parts changing Tara's diapers and Lesbian Bed Death.
The butch chick she ends the series with, she didn't even pretend to be into, she kept shooting that girl down and only lets her get close when she fully expects the world to end.
Nah, watch happy Willow in seasons 2 and 3 again and then watch Willow with Tara, spiraling into misery, depression, and drug abuse.
No way can you spin it as her "finding her inner lesbian" and becoming more well-adjusted to "her true self."
Sorry.
