Character 'hate' debate

[ayooz.livejournal.com]

Apologies if this sort of post has already been mentioned. But I'm really curious with why people hate dislike certain characters from Code Geass.

Personally I really don't like Shirley. I could pull out the generic character card, but there are a lot of characters that can apply to this (I'm looking at you, Euphemia/Lacus clone). But to be realistic, not EVERY single character in Code Geass is going to be original. Hell, some say Lelouch is a Light rip-off. I would hate her less if she wasn't set up to be a romantic possibility for Lelouch. But I just don't like her personality type. Though, to be superficial, what the character looks like is also a factor ^^; For example, I actually don't think Euphemia is all that bad.

Basically, state the character that you hate/dislike and explain your reasoning. I'm interested in those who aren't fond of Suzaku (I'm sort of surprised why some do). It can be anything as long as it isn't incoherent character bashing.

[Edit: Dislike is a better way to put it. Doesn't mean you can't hate either xD]

*joins the small hate-fandom*

Does this make us one of the seven wonders of the Geass world?

I can't even name the reasons why I hate her.I think my brain exploded the day I saw THE KISS.

ILU.You support all my hates!

(* How much of a strategic genius can he be when something like THREE times he basically says, "Argh, why have they used their trump card (Lancelot) just when I was about to win?! I didn't plan for that even though I knew it existed!")

And I thought I was the only one whose brain exploding from Lulu's staggering intelligence.

I meant it more as a mocking thing because somebody on 4chan once tried to give a convincing argument along those lines. I wish I'd known how to 'fix' comments on 4chan back then because I totally would've.

C.C. *hides somewhere* I don't know.I just hate everything about her.Her personality,the way she treated Mao(I did feel sorry for the guy,even if he was a psychotic-chainsaw-wielding-Australia-house-builiding guy.But still),pretty much everything.I don't think she's very pretty.And I 149581% object LuluxC.C.There is just something fucking wrong with that pairing.That and I have tendencies to dislike popular characters.

Shirley.Maybe not as much as I used to because I'm starting to look at her in different ways,but she's slightly inconvienent.Maybe just a little.

*goes to Mars* Orange.WHAT?WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT THE GUY?TELL ME I MUST KNOW.

Nina.She plagues my mind with her ficitional prescence.

Viletta.Because just shooting the person who took care of you even though they're an eleven is just wrong.

Er,that's it? *right*

I'm in love with your post and what you said about Lelouch and Raito. Really. Whoever thinks Lelouch is a rip off of Raito has not watched CG past the first episode. Anyway, I've never thought about connecting Raito to Dostoievski's protagonists, but that makes perfect, perfect sense. Lelouch is one of the most obviously Shakespearean characters I've ever seen in an anime, and that's really, really interesting. When I started watching the show I thought he was a huge mix of MacBeth, Hamlet and Richard III, but he doesn't limit himself to that and that is really nice.

Oh MY, I was just telling runesque how much I love Mao, and how much I would have loved if they had kept him around for longer. Hell, I wouldn't mind some Mao/Lulu senpai love. They could go all crazy and orphan together. It would be a thing of beauty. :D

[realms-of-life.livejournal.com]

I really like all characters. Meh, I'm boring. :P

There are characters I don't like as much as others, tho. Even so, that's not even a dislike list:

C.C. - I liked her best when I first watched the show. Not so much on the second time. I find her reactions a tad unrealistic for an old girl like her, even if she is being coquettish. And it is really uncomfy to realise Lelouch's reactions are actually more mature and intense than hers. But that's probably unintentional. And she is really cool when she wants to.

Kallen - I have nothing against her, except when she is mildly paired with Lelouch. It pains me. Really.

Lloyd - kill_me_faster and hopechan actually made me like him more than I used to with their fabulous fics. I guess my original issue with Lloyd is that he is Teh Boss from Hell. And I'm really afraid of bad bosses.

naaa it wasn't a cripple joke.

no idea why it was deleted really.

D: Suzaku-haters make me sad! I adore him tons and tons. He's a very subtle character, and he's pretty crazy, but it's not as blatant as, say, Lelouch's psychosis. Yes, he's a hypocrite, but that's part of what makes him so interesting. Lelouch has two sides
- the ruthless rebellion leader, and the caring brother/friend.Suzaku is no different. He's made up of all sorts of layers and what you see throughout the series is not the whole picture. He's friendly, caring, kind, protective, righteous - but he's also cynical, impulsive, brash, and selfish. He's not really the epitome of the Honorable White Knight, just like Lelouch isn't merely the Menacing Black Prince. Neither of them are good people, but they're not outright horrid either. They've got good points and bad points, like anyone else. The big difference is that Lelouch acknowledges what he does wrong and how he acts in his own interests, while Suzaku needs to think of himself as good and pure-hearted in order to live with himself. But by the end, Suzaku is facing the facts and showing more of his true personality. He's such an intricate character, but the details tend to be lost and he's taken for face-value. :\

I totally agree with EVERYTHING said above.
It's not that I hate some characters, it's just that I dislike them. my reasons aren't as good, but then again, i'm a hypocrite

Nina.. The way she goes on and on about the eleven's is just irritating. period.
I really disliked many characters at the beginning, but now it's just like, whatever.

I used to dislike Shirley because she was so annoying and because I was jealous of the fact that she liked Lelouch(I used to admire Lelouch), but she's okay now. I hated it even more when Lelouch used the Geass on her; after that, all the fun of seeing them interact at school went away.

I didn't care much for Kallen, but the fact that she's all 'Zero! Zero!' has made me dislike her a bit. She's so strong yet she follows someone who she knows nothing about that promises freedom. I love her character, though. I find her very cute~ :)

C.C. is 'whatever'. I don't dislike her or like her. But she is very amusing; and I support her love for Pizza Hut xD

I dislike Euphemia because of her possibly romantic relationship with Suzaku. >:l
That's a stupid reason, I know, but my inner fangirl won't stand for it. But I also dislike her optimism and naivete. I admired how she kept Lelouch's secret and the fact that she accepted him even though he was Zero.

Other than that, all the other characters don't bother me. Nina's the only one I really dislike.

[x-reggg.livejournal.com]

hahaa i don't act like one, that's why XD

[tenshi789.livejournal.com]

LAWL yay xD

[sapphire-pyro.livejournal.com]

No, seriously, I saw her typing at her computer in the first (second?) episode, and I had this strong feeling that I wasn't going to like her. <--- same x_x

[kamuro-ishigami.livejournal.com]

Nina.. just wish she'd drop down dead.. I hope that she really does have some past frightful experience AND it better be truly frightful and traumatic else I'll chop her to pieces.

To be terribly honest, there aren't a lot of characters that I dislike in this anime. They're all very well planed out in my opinion.

But I have to say that when the story ended, I really dislike Nunnally the most. She just sits there and does nothing. And she's Lulu's sister, so I know she isn't that stupid. And she's blind, so it should be obvious to her that Lulu is Zero. If she's really that close to her Ni-san, then she would know. I don't believe this 'innocent little girl' junk thats been thrown at us repeatedly. I've thought this for a long time, and the only reason that I dislike her is that my guess is that we really haven't gotten the true Nunnally. Or at least I hope thats the case, cause it is going to suck if she just keeps pulling Lulu down.

I don't really get the character hate/bash thing either. Not justin Geass.... but the reat of the Anime/manga fandom. I don't get the logic idea.

okay... dislike. Nina perhaps. A little. On her excessive racist attitude. But just that. Hate? no. We need some negative characters in a story too... else it be boring. but really... it's still fictional. I don't get it when people start taking it so seriously to a point in real life. Regardless of what fandom it's just fictional series.

But that's just me.
