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'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.
