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]

I try not to associate the characters with others from different fandoms. Like the whole Lelouch = Light thing just kind of... makes me want to pull my hair out. I can understand certain aspects are similar but he's not Light. :I

Wait, what does a character's appearance have to do with anything? I could understand if they were extremely offensive looking (like never properly clothed but it depends on what floats your boat).

Personally, I don't hate any characters in Geass. (I think "hate" is a strong word.) Though, if there was any character I didn't really care for it would be Tamaki. He's just another follower of Zero's, doesn't care who gets hurt and cocky to the point I want erase his mouth.

To be honest, I didn't like Suzaku at all in the beginning, but only because Lulu's plans hadn't gone and screwed up people's lives at the time. I figured Suzaku was a hypocrite for being in the Britannian army but after watching further into the series, I realized he only wanted to protect people. It was more like, the more we saw of Lulu's personality, the more I began to dislike him on a personal level and like Suzaku more. BUT THAT'S JUST ME.

See with Lulu, it's like he'll take out anything in his path that doesn't agree with him. What he's doing is ...right (??????), but he's doing it in the wrong way. He doesn't have to go and blow up buildings and kill his siblings. I think there's better ways to reinforce a rebellion without having to sacrifice innocent people.

Shirley's character was "EHHH" for me in the beginning, too. But I really admire how she went out of the way to protect Lulu from Viletta (even if it was kind of a reflex) and then how she kept blaming herself and calling herself "selfish". Who said loving someone was selfish? You can't help it lol. So I did a 180 with her and began adoring her. But the thing with fandom they take ONE LITTLE THING about a character and magnify it 100x more. Then there's the haters who go and make up stuff to hate characters. Like calling Shirley a "whore" or something. ROFL HOW?

WAIT-- I totally remember which character I feel like kicking. I love Kallen, but she's really annoying to me now. I just can't stand how someone as brave as her is a blind follower. And the final episodes had me go, "???" because she suddenly... just stopped everything because she found out Lulu was Zero. I totally understand the SHOKKU of it but it's not like she even seemed to care about him before so yeah. :/



/END RANT OR WHATEVER IT WAS.

I just think fandom fails in general half the time. I'd say more but I'd get brick'd lol.

With the appearance thing, if the character is more appealing to me then I tend to like them more then say the same personality type from another series. Fandom is a tricky thing....

I suppose it's because I read and watch anime and manga with "bad art" as some people like to put it.
