I've heard there's a portion of the fanbase that hates Dawn, I'd love to hear from people who both fall into this category (why don't you like her?) and also defenders of Dawn. For the record, I'm a fan of her character (adds a nice sibling dynamic, feels realistically like a kid, and is almost where Buffy was in some ways at the beginning of the show)

I don't like Dawn. I think it's mostly due to the fact that she was originally written to be a lot younger. Then they cast Michelle who's certainly doing a good job – but she just seems so obnoxious and annoying because she's acting really dumb for someone her age. Picturing her as a 10 or 12 year old during the first couple of episodes of Season 5 really helps me understand her better. She's a much better character in Season 6, but at that time I've already disliked her for too long to just go "Ah, okay, she's fine now."

lol, nobody ever hums "pop goes the weasel" for other than ominous reasons the metaphor is a little on the nose in this episode :)) Dawn actually is so infatuated that she considers letting him turn her. as in, letting him sleep with her. The other vamp says to Giles about Dawn's friend: "She was asking for it."

i don't think she acts dumb for her age at all, though she kinda is the product of what the monks think a teen should be like. I think everything she does is typical for her age. This episode for example is absolutely typical for 15 year olds. The problem is that we never really see it from her perspective. like when Buffy jumped into bed with Parker or when Buffy told Angel in a mean way that his heart isn't beating, or when Buffy was hiding the fact that Angel is back, or when she first saved Jonathan but then talked about him kinda rudely to Giles, we usually understand her perspective. We know enough to empathize with her. And the episode "When she was bad" has everyone angry at Buffy, but we still get it. Dawn simply doesn't have enough scenes showing her inner feelings enough, that would make us empathise with why she's doing what she's doing.
