** Oddly enough, while I'm not sure if I just have looked hard enough or if I'm right, it seems that [[Les Yay|Fuffy]] shippers seem to not really hate on any of Buffy's canon love interests (except for the occasional Riley hate and even that's rare). Then again, a fairly large number seem to take place in Seasons 3, 4 or 6.

*** There's also that until you get well into the post-series comics, Buffy has no canon female love interests. Furthermore, in the season where Faith and Buffy first meet, neither one is in a relationship (while Buffy still has major tension with Angel, they've both agreed that actually dating is too likely to result in the return of Angelus, so, counts as a break-up.) So nobody ''needs'' to die for the ship for Buffy and Faith to hook up earlier, you just need to advance the timetable on Buffy and Angel deciding that they need to put more distance between them and Buffy's realizing that she wants to try batting for the other team.

**** Well, you also have to change Faith's sexual orientation because in canon she is not bisexual (although Buffy, amusingly enough, ''is'' canonically bisexual in the post-series comics), but that's hardly an obstacle to shippers.
* On ''[[Angel]]'', Kate got a lot of hate, just for being a ''possible'' romantic interest for Angel. It never became actual.
