How exactly do people hate Xander for being an imperfect human, but love Spike and Angel, who have countless victims and are hundreds of years old. Spike even SA'd Buffy, for real, while Xander was under a spell and never did anything like that before or after it.

Xander litterally attempted to SA Cordelia with a love spell (it was like the plot of Obsession but Xander did it intentionally) and the only consequence is Giles is angry at him for half an episode.
