Hmm, I might need to rewatch BtVS. Buffy/Spike is usually the kind of ship that I gravitate to (heroine that can take the villain down, and the villain that loves her for it), but I never got over my disgust at the gross Buffybot shenanigans that predated their relationship.

At least the show was honest about how fucked up the Buffybot thing was. That made it easier to handle, for me at least.

I feel like I probably should have been more bothered by the Buffybot thing than I was. It was definitely bad and gross, but somehow the amount of detail that he put into seemed almost sweet, in a suitably fucked up Spike way? Like, he could have gotten a Buffy-shaped version of the first bot Warren built, that basically had no personality traits other than 'loves the guy it was programmed to love', but he didn't want that. He wanted it to be as realistic as a version of Buffy that was totally into him could be. That doesn't make it not gross, but the idea of it as a private outlet for someone who knows he'll never be able to have what he really wants, and knows too that he'll never be happy with anything else, speaks to me on some level.

Also, I will 100% forgive the Buffybot storyline in general because of a) some of the hilarious moments it caused and b) that scene after Spike was tortured by Glory, where actual Buffy comes to see him pretending to be the bot.

Yes, that's another one of my favorite moments of the show. I always loved that he knew the exact moment it wasn't the bot. "And my robot?" "The robot was gross and disgusting. And it wasn't real... but what you did for Dawn, that was real, and I won't forget it."
