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.

*claps* Great observation (or should I say mini-essay? ^_^) here. I especially love the little detail about Euphemia and Kallen's balanced perspectives, as well as 'noble methods' VS 'noble ends' - excellent choice of terms here. ^_^ Well, eh... I don't have much to add. ^^;
