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]

Lelouch can't be a Light rip-off, because that implies there's something to rip off. Light is a flat character with only two traits: one, he's a strategic genius; two, he believes that killing in the name of justice is okay. Beyond that, he's got virtually nothing-- everything he does is part of one or both of those traits. I suppose you might be able to argue a third trait, arrogance, but that doesn't exactly make him a solid character. And certainly not the first to have those traits =P

Lelouch is also a "strategic genius*," and he believes that some killing in the name of justice is okay, and he's arrogant. But he's a level up in complexity because at least he feels guilty and/or conflicted, especially when it comes to hurting friends or family.

(* 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!")
