So not only is he back as a kid, but these people use that as an excuse to talk down to him, dress him up, not take him seriously and take 'adult' things away from him like he doesn't know better ... but they actually brought him back as a child ON PURPOSE because he'd be cuter that way?
And this is treated like a comedy?
Giles is 100% right; they've MAIMED him, ruined his entire life on a fundamental level, and they all think it's funny. Quite frankly I'd say he has grounds for justifiable homicide because that's what I'D be considering.
It's a little more complicated I think, the two women who created the physical template for him to be reborn in were the aunts who raised him and they seem to be fairly... flighty to start with, as well as being absolutely self-absorbed. The fact they screwed up the body template is no real surprise, nor that they view him as A) adorable and B) a dress up doll.
The others are mixing their relief that the spell worked so that Giles is alive again (and that it didn't unleash some creature of anti-life the way Buffy's ressurection did) with the absurdity that oh-so-proper Giles is now a spotty kid, with the brains of a man but the hormones of a horny teenager. That will require a bit of adapting to, and in the meantime they're having a little strss-relieving fun.

Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.

Just ... UGH, this is just horrifying.
