I hate Seeing Red for a lot of reasons, but the main reason is because it feels like an excuse for a Buffy humilitation ritual
Buffy gets slutshamed by Xander for sleeping with Spike. Xander gets to be all morally righteous and superior.
Then Warren goes on a creepy sexist rant.
Xander plays the hero.
Spike tries to rape Buffy which feels beyond OOC and like something Joss Whedon wrote to screw with James Marsters, Spike fans and shame Buffy. Because how dare Buffy explore her sexuality and be dark?
Xander gets to find Buffy after the whole attempted rape thing and gets to bask in the knowledge that he was right.
Anyway, fuck Joss Whedon for this whole episode.
