Why does fandom seem to hate Suzaku?

I have been nosing through the fandom for some time and I couldn't help but notice the rampant Suzaku hatred. So, I decided to find out why this seemed to be the case.

'Hypocrite' seemed to be the biggest complaint, but (and yes, I am a Lulu fangirl as well before you kill me) Lelouch is one, too. So I was wondering just what made Suzaku seem to be such a target of ire.

I'm just interested to see what dynamics make people like or dislike certain characters in this series.

I didn't care about Shirley at first, but how she behaved after she kissed Lulu gained her enormous respect in my book -- she sincerely apologized to Lulu for what happened (for taking advantage of him in her grief) which I didn't expect her to do at all. So that incident actually made me appreciate her more as a character ^_^
