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.

Yeah, I mean - its almost impossible to be utterly original nowadays, so having a nod to the predecessors is nice. I just think people are getting a little too hung up on comparison.

I mean I've seen

"Euphemia has pink hair, so shes obviously a Lacus ripoff" comments around and things like that which is taking it a touch too far I think.
