I don't really love Dawn from Buffy, but I don't get the Dawn hate. Actually, as the youngest I can relate to her.

Also, Tonks from Harry Potter.

Dawn is one of those characters where I feel like they have good reason to be angsty and I don't know why people are so harsh on them for being "whiney".

Yes to the Dawn hate. I liked Dawn! Yes, she was bratty, but I feel like it was actually in-character and a natural little sister type of bratty that worked. I dunno, I just liked her.

Yeah, I'm the same age as the main trio are (or would be niw, if the show was still running) but that didn't stop me from liking Dawn well enough and just not feeling the hate. I loved that bit where she has a bit of a crush on Xander and hopes he sees her as a ~*woman*~ and we get a shot of her eating chocolate ice cream and getting it on her face while smiling at him.

Eh, I think the Dawn hate is pretty understandable, it's not just that people found her whiny but more I think the way the show brought her in. Like I wouldn't say I hated her but I probably would have liked her a lot more if she'd been in the show since the start rather than sudden 'Buffy now has a sister because Plot' and then the show acting forever after as if this character had always been there. For me, it felt like the show wasn't willing to do the heavy lifting of having other characters actually get to know Dawn but instead plopped her in with pre-established connections to everyone and then never looked back (like if the season had started with her as always Buffy's sister and then the spell wore off midway through and everyone had to slowly come to care about Dawn because of who she is and not who their manufactured memories say she is that would have endeared her to me much more). Count me as one of the viewers for whom it never worked that Buffy was willing to let everyone die for Dawn's sake, because I couldn't get past how Buffy's big important connection to her was completely fabricated by outside forces.

I don't get the Dawn hate either. She's acting like most people her age and in her situation would. She wasn't a favorite, but I don't hate or even dislike her. The only one I dislike would be Xander, and the only one I kind of hate would be Kennedy.

Does Tonks still get hate? Tonks is awesome.

Dawn was kind of an annoying brat, especially during season 5. But I liked her for it! She's a younger sibling! That's her job!
