I'm currently watching Selfless (the Anya episode in season 7 for those of you who dont know) and I noticed something.

When D'Hoffryn comes to Aud and convinces her to become a vengence demon, he tells her the job is doing vengence for wronged women. Fair enough. This is what we've known about Anya since The Wish.

However in another episode (I think it may have been Older and Far Away), Halfrek tell someone (I cant remember who) that vengence demons do vengence for other people too. For example, HAlfrek helps children. And in Entropy she tells Anya that she should try moving on from just helping women.

So which is it? A vengence demon for anyone or just for wronged women?
 
Vengeance is a great machine, with many different outlets. D'Hoffryn offers Aud a job in the 'wronged woman branch', because it speaks to her heart.

By the way, "curious" is such a great word for a title.
 
Yeah, it just sounded to me like that was all they did. Which did strike me as odd, since after all, D'hoffryn is male himself. Although he did say to Anya that all men deserved it.
 
I would see it as a sales pitch, In order to get her to take the job he said something that would appeal to her!

Heh yeah plus he's male, though not exactly a man.

The strange part though, is that Anya obviously got the job to vengence for wronged women. So when Halfrek tell her she shouldn't only do that, that's asking her to do what's not her job..

She was just suggesting that she expand her work duties. More job opportunity means more work. Broader horizon an' all that.
 
TARA: I thought vengeance demons only punished men who wronged women.
HALFREK: Oh, that was Anya's little raison d'tre. Most of us try to be a little more well-rounded. And actually, we prefer 'justice demon.' Okay? FYI.

I think 'Justice Demons can do vengence for anyone, but Anya got into the gig because she was wronged by a male...so she just carried on her line of work 🙂

That quotes from Older & Far Away in Season 6.
 
Yeah but thats the problem.

Hallie says they prefer justice demons and makes it sound like Anya chose hurting males.

But we know that D'Hoffryn told her thats what she'd be doing and said they were vengence demons.
