I don't think everything is easily achieved, Buffy would have been able to save Ethan if it was. I think she'd been able to save him if he was cute young girl (or boy). *sigh* Yes, I'm bitter.
The kiss of true love seems more mature than Puppet!Angel :) I think Puppet!Angel was intended as a spoof of his heroic persona. The kiss of true love is supposed to be earnest and romantic.
Isn't this rather a case of assuming the worst and then blaming Joss for your assumptions?
While many of the fans seemed to take the kiss of true love and who might bestow it extremely seriously the comic sidestepped the romantic angst to make it more an issue of who was prepared to admit to that love in public. And if it really is Satsu or one of her lip gloss sharing companions then the story becomes a thematically very interesting one about hero worship and celebrity. Buffy's moved on from being the girl everyone underestimated to the woman the whole world knows about.
