If there was a prize for the most hated Buffy character, Warren Mears would be the winner. As well as murdering Tara, he’s also the most misogynistic person in the show.

Midway through Season 6, Warren, Andrew, and Jonathan steal the gland of a Homja-maleev demon and use it to power the cerebral dampener, a device that can control minds.

To no one’s surprise, Warren uses the device to manipulate women, and he starts by forcing Katrina, his ex-girlfriend, to come back to his basement. Here, he intends to sexually abuse her and let Andrew and Jonathan do the same. But the effects of the cerebral dampener start to wear off, and Katrina erupts into a furious tirade:

‘You bunch of little boys, playing at being men! This is not some fantasy. It’s not a game, you freaks.’

Though Warren’s twisted plan never comes to fruition, it’s still a tough scene to watch. Andrew and Jonathan’s child-like excitement is particularly hard to stomach. Just the idea of what they were planning to do is enough to make anyone’s skin crawl.
