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 like Suzaku, but I do wish we could see a bit deeper into his rationale (I hope that'll happen later in the series). I think a lot of people are bugged by his seeming invincibility and narrow view of the world (he seems to miss a lot of what goes on around him). That bothers me too at points, but as things are, it'll be pretty amazing when/if he's finally defeated or realizes just how scummy Britannia really is.

(Also, I ♥ both SuzakuxEuphemia and SuzakuxNunnaly pairings o_o)
