Where does she take young girls away from their families? You make it sound as if she's running around suburbia kidnapping the nation's youth. Did she teach Xander and Willow to be criminals or did they choose to help her in the fight against a corrupt authority in any way they could? If I break one law by parking in a restricted area to get my child into A&E does that make me above the Law as a whole? Does opening the universities to women allowing them to fufill their potential make all those who do so ungovernable superbeings? Did Ghandi corrupt people's souls or Nelson Mandela or Emmeline Pankhurst? Because yes the whole Slayer movement highlights the whole issue of when does political activism, giving young people a purpose, spill over into breeding fanaticism and terrorism. The bank robbery, what could have lead to it and what it might now lead to is complicated and dramatically compelling. Calling Buffy the ultimate villian is a wierdly all or nothing, madonna or whore judgement of her at this stage.
