It's not too shitty of you, because the world at large (tm) thinks we'll only care about Buffy's death, so having lived in the world at large (tm) for x amount of years, it would be easy to assume the same.

I love me some Spike, but the guy is a fucking murdering sociopath, especially in the scenes where he kills Nikki and Xin Rong. He had to be vile for there to be any redemption arc at all, and if we ignore the vileness, we ignore the victims. I say this as someone who is now delving into shipping a young version of a mass murderer who supports genocide, so take whatever I say with that in mind.

I completely understand why they had the two historical slayers be woc, because they wanted to say "look! the slayer can be any woman, not just some blonde from California!" and give some representation, but they never realized how much they were privileging Spike's story over those woc. I don't know if I would have rather liked it if they made the historical slayers white, because I don't know if I'd like problematic representation over no representation at all, but it's something to struggle with to think about.
