A vampire, which Angel was at the time he ate this particular kid (he actually ate a lot of kids), normally lacks a soul.

A soul is described as "what makes you you," but this clearly isn't true for all vampires, since Friend No One Remembers and many other >

Yes, there are eventually going to be two special vampires who don't get exterminated on sight because Buffy thinks they are hot

And yes, they are both Irish dudes named William played by Canadian or American dudes

Anyway what being a vampire most consistently seems to do is remove all compassion and general sense of inhibition other than self-defense

So the soul appears to be defined as "not having stereotypical antisocial personality disorder."

Anyway, while this is ableist and also contradicted and makes no sense, what makes less sense is what happened to Angel.

As I mentioned, he ate a kid. The family wanted to torment him, rather than just kill him in revenge. So they restored his soul.

The spell was set up so that if Angel ever experienced a "moment of true happiness," later defined as "95% of orgasms," his soul goes away

It's not 95% of orgasms, he has sex a bunch and doesn't lose his soul

He loses his soul bc of his weird crush on Buffy and how she symbolizes innocence and redemption in his mind

Yes but remember that he also loses his soul from imaginary sex with Cordelia!
