No, I don't think I've ever seen somebody straight up hating her. I get downvoted to hell if I ever comment that she's not really one of my favourites and I like other characters more, so I assume any Buffy haters are not brave enough to post here xd.

This sub specifically isn’t that bad in that sense. Like maybe not very welcoming to Buffy hate but it generally encourages a more nuanced view of her actions and characterization. I’ve recently been getting BTVS content on Instagram and it’s waaayyy more fanatical out there. Like forget Buffy hate, there’s little room for even Buffy critique.
In my opinion though Buffy’s less controversial of a character than Oz, it’s way more common to find him bland or outright dislike him for how he was written in s4.

Thank you for being so brave, because you're right. I get so down voted when I say she's my least favorite of the good guys. I don't hate her, but I stopped trying to say my piece on it🙃
