My opinion on Riley has honestly changed over the years, not gonna lie I used to really dislike him, but now, I can somewhat enjoy his character

I'm glad to hear that, I think that a lot of people are probably too stubborn to change their views, but if they weren't - a lot of people would probably view Riley & his actions differently now if they were open to it

I'm glad to hear it too cause Riley has always been a character that was bizarrely and unfairly hated for...no reason It didn't make sense to me then and still now. Like I said, he was such a great, honorable man and a great boyfriend to Buffy. There's nothing to hate especially compared to other characters, or other men that have done so much worse to Buffy. I still love Riley/Buffy

Riley had the unfortunate deal of being the first true relationship Buffy had after Angel. A lot of the Bangel shippers, myself included, weren't exactly thrilled at the idea.

Not just that, but he was also still with Buffy when spuffy started getting big, so both sides just hated him - he literally couldn't have been unluckier when it came to timing.

Still, he was a good guy at heart who wanted to protect the world as best as he could, & he was exactly what Buffy needed at that time in her life whether people want to admit that or not

Basically this. Riley's biggest crime was not being Spike or Angel. SMH.

yetanotherbuffyblog:
I don’t want to be the guy involved too much in shipping, but Riley Finn is kind of the Worst.

dreamsofghostsandstars:
He risks (and endures) imprisonment in a black site for trying for save Oz from the Initiative, chooses Buffy over his career, commits high treason to stop the government’s plans, cuts a mind-control chip out of his own chest, and helps his ex-girlfriend feel better about her current choice of lovers. After he leaves, he actually recognizes that Buffy deserves to make her own choices, both about romance and about Sunnydale, which shows more fairness and self-control than Willow, Xander, or Angel demonstrate with their love interests. Going to the hooker-vamps is wrong— although kind of similar to how Buffy uses Spike in S6; I’ve observed that people usually mention Buffy’s depression as a mitigating factor in her misbehavior, while no one in the fandom ever mentions the repeated indicators that Riley experiences ongoing depression from the time the Initiative’s drugs leave his system (a sense of isolation, despondency about the future, constant feelings of worthless, paranoia about other people’s attitudes toward him that makes him withdraw even farther, etc.). Not telling Buffy about Sam right away is bad, too— but it’s a lag time of what, a few hours? The worst thing about Riley is his “shoot first” attitude toward demons, which Buffy herself was fine with until Maggie tried to have her killed. Is Riley flawed? Yes. Right for Buffy? Probably not. Worse than everyone else on the show? No.

Glad to see someone out there defending Riley & they couldn't be more right!

& I like to see someone mentioning that he potentially had depression too, he went through a lot & lost pretty much his whole identify going into s5. He was definitely lost & no one even saw it, not even Buffy. He's entitled to make some mistakes imo, all the other characters did...
