I never hated Willow/Kennedy. I liked them already in Season 7.
I also never hated Buffy/Riley. Riley was basically a good guy, and I never understood the fondness many women have for "bad guys" (no offence to anyone!) - is it so much more interesting to get hurt?
As to ships I don't really like, I would have to refer to Dawn/Xander. They just don't do anything for me.

Other ships I don't like are Spike/Dawn, Spredlyria and Spawnlyria. Those two last pairings always annoy me when I come across them

First - Cordelia and Conner could easily give me nightmares. - Xander and Dawn together is also wierd because they always had a brother/sister relationship and making it more than that is just ICKY! - I dont know if this counts as a relationship but Parker and Bufy, because he was a douche - simple as that  Second - Someone said earlier that Spike and Buffy was so violent and degrading, but I think that was the point. Up to that pont Buffy had been put on a Pedastool and we all loved her for having the answers and being in control but when she feels like she's fallen off that 'throne' then she dosnt care anymore and acts as low as she feels. And I didnt like Willow Kennedy, at first. You could argue that she moved on to fast but now I feel that Kennedy helped Willow to keep herself grounded. |

In no order (except for the first!): - Willow / Kennedy
- Spike / Fred
- Spike / Illyria
- Wesley / Illyria
- Buffy / Riley
- Anya / Spike
- Buffy / Xander
- Xander / Renee
- Xander / Faith
- Faith / Robin
I hate a lot of ships. (: |

In addition to Willow/Kennedy, I would also like to Add Connor/Cordy, and Angel/Cordy (dunno, I just never really liked the idea of Cangel as a couple). If I can think of anymore I intensely dislike I will add them later. |

I know it's the whole point, but for me it was never about Buffy "falling off a pedestal" because I never idolized her in the first place, she is actually one of my least favourite characters (I know this is going to open up the whole if-you-don't-like-the-main-character-why-do-you-like-the-show thing, but that's better left for another time). The reason I hate the relationship (at least in Season 6) is because it parallels an abusive relationship way too much - both ways. I don't like the violence and the abuse that they both dish out. I have a hard time watching a lot of scenes, the sex is way to animal, empty and degrading and Buffy hates herself so much and Spike revels in her pain and disgust way too much. Come Season 7 it's much better and I actually like the friendship. |

I get that there are parallels but it has to be considered that in their world and because they're both super strong violence isn't treated the same (like firefly is an action show, so the fact that they kill people constantly is treated differently). I'm not saying their relationship was good (in season 6 anyway) but them punching each other is sort of like yelling in our world. Except you know for the attempted rape thing, that is hard to watch and only represents attempted rape and the fact that Spike was still evil (just wanted to make clear that I'm not advocating what they did, especially that)
Also least favorite is probably Xander/Dawn, and while I came around to Willow/Kennedy they're not high on my list...and Buffy/Riley are low on my list too.

I'll add Gwen/Connor and Buffy/Satsu to the list. Because I also hate those pairings with a firey passion. In total that makes nine ships I really really hate, and one ship that just bores me to death.

I never cared much for the two of them together in season 6 either, but then in season 7 I really came to admire the bond they shared and that's when I became a Spuffy lover. I think, where Buffy is concerned, Bangel well always be my one true love, but I am certainly at a point where I can appreciate the Spuffy relationship for what it is. |

Hmmm probably Wesley/Fred, I just hate the whole drama going on there, and on that note, also Buffy/Angel.

-Buffy/Pike (does that count?) -Buffy/Angel -- Soo melodramatic. -Buffy/Scott Hope -- What a douchebag. -S4 Buffy/Riley -- He really was Cap'n Cardboard for most of that season. -Cordy/Wes -- ummm, she was still a student and he was... some guy that hung around the school library? (did they ever explain that?) -Angel/Cordy -- To forced by the writers. -Connor/Cordy/Jasmine -- All the writers just completely lost their minds in that season. -Fred/Anyone -- She tried it on with them all. -Oz/Veruca -- poor Willow  -Willow/Kennedy -- Bleh. -Spike/Buffy -- in S7. Going against the grain here, but S7 Spuffy was as boring and over dramatic as Bangel. At least in S6 there was an actual reason behind their twisted relationship. -Buffy/Twilight -- Are we doing that now? I'm sure there is more, but that all I can think of for now. |

Connor/Cordy(Jasmin)- Was just wrong. Cordy/Angel - Had absolutely no chemistry. I like them as friends only. Dawn/Xander Willow/Kennedy - I just hate Kennedy. Angel/Darla - Only because I think Buffy and Angel are meant for each other  |

I don't know that Buffy was ever really on a pedestal, even for people who liked her as a character. A few other characters might have seen her that way -- Xander and Willow both seemed to feel a certain amount of awe for her in the beginning -- but as far as we the audience were concerned, I think she was always written as a flawed hero rather than an idol. |

Also Amy/Warren (Buffy S8). Now THAT is an unbelievably scary/creepy couple! Although, it is sometimes amusing the way they are always bickering at each other. Clearly there is trouble in paradise. lol.

Am I the only one who likes Cordy/Connor? I don't like it on the Cordy, because I don't like anything about Cordy, but I get how Connor felt.
But least favorite ships ... Cangel I never got, never made sense to me. Cordy/Xander I never liked either.
I just finished watching "Slouching Toward Bethlehem," which is a Cordy-centric episode sort of, so I've got my hate on.

Connor/Jasdelia was easily the creepiest. Xander/Cordy for its sheer hopelessness. Parker/Buffy for the "I want to punch this guy in the face" factor. (Riley's best moment on the show, IMO).
The Wesley/Fred/Gunn triangle got kind of tiresome in Angel season 4, too. That was a bad season for ships... Connor/Cordy, W/F/G, Wes/Lilah... ick.
