User blog comment:Scottish-Terror/Pure Evil Removal: Darin MacNamara/@comment-2059440-20190526134640

also while I don't like saying this because we are two different sites Darin was acknowledged in the Buffy section of TV Tropes under "YMMV" as a CM - whether that is still the case of not I don't know but that adds a little more weight to Darin being more than just your standard one-shot villain even by Buffyverse standards (again just a note as TV Tropes etc has nothing to do with how we vote here, it just shows that this has been studied and proven to have some weight by people who look into things like heinous standards.. which is why I feel calling him a "hate sink" is kind of pushing it).
