Guys, we need to stop saying every episode flaw makes a Base Breaker. We really, really do. Take a look at Doctor Who, or Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Is any episode perfect? No. Do their fandoms label every episode a Base Breaker? No. This is getting absolutely ridiculous.

People, stop putting What the Hell, Hero? in YMMV regarding your distaste for how Spike was treated. It is specifically a trope about the characters getting called out in-universe for their crap, and if that does not happen, then it is Moral Dissonance.

The part about Spike being a Scrappy is very inaccurate. In fact, it's the polar opposite of the term. The entry states that one finds Spike annoying because his fans defend him too much... except not only is that just a personal problem with that one particular troper (if that's the case, I'd add Fluttershy as a scrappy) but that mean he ISN'T a scrappy, as a scrappy is one that is for the most part unanimously hated. Plus, simply being a spoiled brat doesn't mean you're a scrappy, (otherwise the CMC would count or many of the mane cast at times), you have to be disliked by the majority. Seeing as he has enough fans to annoy the person who made the entry, then that is obviously not the case. Overall, since this seems way too personal with no actual reason, then I'm going to remove it. Since I won't be able to access this site for awhile, I'll delete it and if someone objects then feel free to add it back on and reply to me, thanks.
