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'm less keen on Shirley but I like where they have taken her. I found her a little too stereotypical at first but she is growing in my estimation recently.

The fact she kissed Lelouch doesn't bother me at all only the lack of SuzakuxEuphie smoochies bothers me xD as it was an important part of the plot and did a lot for development.

*annoyingly butts in* Same here. I found her really annoyingly stereotypical at first, but the whole plot there with the kiss was very developing and I like Lelouch's development from that. XD I like her now.

I am really looking forward to seeing where they take her from the latest developments, especially with the recent hints of her remembering.
