Why Do People Hate Warren?

Well I was thinking more of redecorating the walls with him in one go but I see you're going one better 😛
 
I'm not sure why people hate Warren. It was interesting to watch his descent into evil, as well as his quirky geekery. However, he did kill Tara, who was one of my favorite characters. I think that people might dislike him because he made an unimposing villain. He had no real power other than being smart, he wasn't a threat to the world, he was really more of an annoyance.

He was a threat to everything the show stood for: feminine power most of all. It's a feminist show; Warren's a misogynist. So maybe, on a grandiose destroying-the-world scale, he's small potatoes, but he nearly destroyed Willow and Buffy and DID destroy Tara, who were the most powerful women in the series.
 
Well, let me clarify my position here a little: It's Warren, the Character I don't like, not Warren As A Character. Warren As A Character brought lots of fun stuff to the show (and lots of not-so-fun stuff I wouldn't have missed, as in some dramatic twists that hurt to watch, since they brought lots of pain to characters I loved.) Warren the Character, however, was a despicable, low-life little pr*** who deserved what he got at Willow's hands.
 
I like Warren as a character who drives the plot but I also completely loathe him, and all the reasons for that have been mentioned here already. I had no sympathy for him whatsoever when Willow tortured and killed him.

Me neither. If anything, I was annoyed with Buffy, Xander and Anya for trying to stop her!
Well, as has been mentioned, there's the whole Tara thing, which may have scarred me more than anything else I've seen on TV. Granted, it was probably one of the ONLY unintentional things that he did....but still.
I took most of my issues with how he treated Andrew and Jonathan, (and perhaps Katrina and the robot girl.) How he treated Buffy, Willow and society at large wasn't good, but it was that he had NO loyalty to even the people who were supposed the be the ones close to him....it really leaves nothing to like.

...as a person BUT as a character he really was great.
 
thank you Bored of the Dead, thats exactly what i mean.

And also, as ive posted in a separate post about Tara, wasnt big on her. I was indifferent to her character so her death didn't mean as much to me as it did to others (that won't justify what warren did but... it doesnt make me hate him with an evil passion either).
 
I agree. I detested the person he was. He was despicable--the way he manipulated Andrew and constantly antagonized Jonathan. But the character was great. I guess, maybe we are both warped. I thought he was a great character and wished he had stuck around a little longer or given him a better plot line then his silly, childish vendetta against Buffy. It seemed below him...should have just been a starting point to bigger, badder things but instead it became an obsession.

He's one of those characters I love to hate. As a person I would have to smack the smirk off his face if I ever met him and felt nothing when Willow flayed him. Well, I sat there slack jawed and shocked, but the grief I felt was for Willow because she had just crossed a line that many don't come back from.
 
Absolutely someone you can love to hate, misogynist little barstool. Couldn't get a girlfriend so he built one and didn't understand why that was wrong. Couldn't really understand why Katrina wouldn't want him back so he warped her head. Couldn't cope with the fact that Buffy got the better of him so he shot her. It was almost like a simple equation with diabolical solutions.

Adam Busch did a fantastic job with him....it was just practically creepy how he almost seemed like he didn't get why everyone had such a big problem with the way he was.
 
I just dont like him coz of the scene in Season 7 when jonathon and andrew are in the new sunnydale high looking for the seal of danthalzar ( I think its in conversations with dead people but i cant be sure) when andrew shines the torch on warren in the basement. It is the spookiest scene ever!! He's always creeped me out since then.
