I don't mind violence, torture, etc. as long as Spike doesn't give in. But once he gives in or is broken, it's icky. Pathetic and sad. I think Buffy broke Spike in S6 (and the soul finished the job) which is part of why I couldn't stand the character in S7.
But anyway, I think we're coming from a similar place. Suffering Spike, good. Broken Spike, bad.
