What bugs me is when people condemn Spike as a character over this but not Angel, when it's like. Spike (no soul): almost does a sexual assault, is remorseful enough to go get himself a soul about it vs Angel (with soul): fucks a highschooler, the only issue with this is supernatural consequences.

Like I know there's a difference in how these are framed but come on.

I think "having entirely consensual sex with a person at the age of consent" is not the same thing as "sexual assault"!

Even if you want to pretend that Angel was still the age he was when he died the first time, there's not as much difference between "26-year-old fucks the 17-year-old high school student he's been stalking since she was 15" and "sexual assault" as you seem to think.

On the subject of Angel, I always got the feeling Angel resented his soul. That he kinda wished he was still the monster deep down. When we saw "Liam" in flashbacks, he was halfway to being a hedonistic vampire already even as a human. The soul was forced on him and made him feel things and care about others, and he didn't like it. That was part of the reason he glommed onto Buffy as the Slayer, because he could then offload a lot of his caring consequences onto her and have her deal with stuff instead of him. I was never Team Angel, even when the show aired. Him and Xander were not great people.
