Why does fandom seem to hate Suzaku?

[epistretes.livejournal.com]

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 don't really hate Suzaku or anything. I just happen to get kinda annoyed with how he's Noodle Jesus Kira Yamato reborn impossible to beat. I mean, given his supah awesome mecha, I knew he wasn't gonna lose anytime soon. But running along walls and dodging machinegun fire kinda is a line to draw at. I just think he needs to lose a battle REALLY badly, or just lose period, that'll knock down his 'godlike' status of piloting and make him seem more... flawed? I dunno, I just think he needs to lose a battle sometime. Probably at the hands of Kallen.

As for favorites, uh. I think the fact I'm using this journal to comment here states plenty. I pretty much like the entire cast in some way, so no hatin' here outside of poking fun at the rest of the cast a lot.

I really don't have a burning support for any specific pairings yet, but I don't hate any either. Go go indifference.

lol, I play Lelouch at an RP myself. My Euphemia muse is mad coz shes been around longer but I'm hesitant to apply until we get a Suzaku. I might do it anyway, coz she is so much love.

I did find the machine-gun thing a bit odd, but I suppose if hes been trained for it all his life - judging by the picture book story that seems a not far-fetched judgement - then it makes more sense.

*A* Lulu RPers unite! Or something. Oh wow a Euphemia muse? The place I use this journal for is supposed to get a Suzaku soon, we have an apper for it and they just have to get the app up. So that should make for interesting times. :|b

Haha, yeah, training your whole life would give you some increased reflexes I guess. But training is one thing, being a bullet dodging ninja is another. XD

Yeah I play him at masked_zero forgive the last post, hes been cursed by Aphrodite to fall in love with Denzel xD; hes a bit brain fried.

Yeah, I like my Euphiemuse but I worry shes too meek right now. I wanna play her right so I figured a Suzakumuse'd help her a lot. I know we have a potential Suzaku and C.C. there, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

=o but who doesn't wanna be a bullet-dodging ninja? =p

HA. The only really weird thing that's happened to Lelouch so far is he had to kiss/be kissed by Lloyd (from Geass) to get free from some fuzzy pink handcuffs. Which was incredibly awkward. I also would seem to have a very good knack for recruiting people, as after I joined as Lulu, we got a C.C. and Rivalz. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for our Kallen apper to post their app soon.

Awesome. Hope you get your people there! :D

Well, ninja tend to have a weakness to bullets! I dunno, maybe he's robo-cop. Or super man. Or super robo-cop, haha.

Hehe, my Lulu has already had this curse and also had his memories played with; but other than that hes the same crabby Lelouch.

So do I. The CG love needs to take over.

lol they do, but as hes a bullet-dodging ninja... xD;

[oh-geass-no.livejournal.com]

Crabby and indifferent to the world, that's Lelouch for ya. *A*

Code Geass invasions all over! Just what I've always wanted! ... since starting the series anyway!

... oh yeah that'd be kinda a double negative of sorts if he was a bullet-dodging ninja and was weak to bullets.

Mines just pissy he is in a different world before achieving his goals xD; Not to mention hes in Ankh-Morpork.

lol same. Its been a while an anime hooked me so quickly.
