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]

SUZAKU. Oh God. I REALLY don't like him. XD He's so...y'know, righteous. Hypocritical is probably a better word. :/ He always talks about changing how everything is but just takes his orders. I mean, even if it is the "wrong methods" at least Lelouch DOES something.

I HATE C.C. cuz she's so freaking...
just...PLAIN
WHY DOES EVERYONE LOVE HER?

I love Suzaku D: He's such an annoying Kira-wannabe with Coordina00r skills, but I think he's deeper and more interesting than that xD

I don't hate any character from Code Geass. Well, I do, but I know all of them have their good points. I would like Shirley if there wasn't that romantic possibility of ShirleyxLelouch too xD But she has some depth, she adds to Lelouch's harem (XDDD) and she's a fun character when she's with the rest of the Student Council being happy.

Euphemia looks and acts like Lacus, who I hate, so I sort of hate Euphie too (idealistic pink dolly princess xD). Plus I didn't like EuphiexSuzaku. But she makes certain parts of the story interesting. I like her relationship with Cornelia, and how she's sort of struggling out Britannian royalty's boundaries.

*slaps self* this is a HATE topic xD

I don't like C.C. much *HIDESZZ* After the first ep of the anime, I thought she was going to be one of those weak, overly insanely kind characters (a bit like Euphie). But it turned out she was harsh and independent. I normally would've loved that kind of character, but she came off as really arrogant to me. And I was a bit annoyed that she sort of just abandoned Mao rather than staying and helping him (even though he turned into a psycho dangerous idiot). And I don't like LelouchxC.C. *hides unger a hole* But again, she has her good points.

zomfg I'm a douche, I hate characters because of their possible pairings *slaps self again*

I get why some people hate Kallen (SEX OBJECT CHARACTER) but I love her since she can kick ass xD

I'm interested in why people hate Nunnally, I love her D:

ARGH Long comment, sorry ;_;

[tenshi789.livejournal.com]

omg a C.C. hater?

I thought I was the only one xD

OH GOD NO, you're not alone!
I THOUGHT I WAS TOO ;__;!!♥

raaaaaaaaaaaant

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.

Oh nevermind. I'm going to get brick'd lol.

And this was a "hate" topic. >>; *fails*

[samtsukino.livejournal.com]

personally i hate Suzaku, i don´t think his belifs are so strong, i mean "i don´t want people die, but for that i killed my own father" or "i don´t want to fight but i´m a soldier in an enemy army" argh.... i personally don´t belive in a person like him, he´s got a double speech

[halevy.livejournal.com]

You hate all the characters I love. :') Rofl ilu anyway.

[i-own-boysluts.livejournal.com]

Nina, because she's a crazy bitch. :(

[chocolate-980.livejournal.com]

1- I hate C.C for many reasons I can't even begin what and what..
2- I don't like Shirley because I hate her type too..
3- I hate Lelouch because all what he really want to do is keep whining over his mother death..
4- I love Suzaku because he like to play it fair, and I think he's the good person (even though his method are not that understandable yet...).
5- I LOVE Euphemia (T^T), she was only helping and hoping for the best.. her death is the main Reason I'm not into Code Geass 100% anymore~

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....

[ax-sky.livejournal.com]

I don't comment often here, but...

I don't like Lelouch -hiddes- :/. He is an arrogant, selfish, just think about himself and Nunally (sometimes I doubt that too...). He uses the persons as he likes and urg... he is capable of killing his own friends if he need to ^^U. There are many ways of making a rebellion without wasting too much lives D: Although, sometimes I pity him D:

Neither C.C nor Kallen xD, Kallen because she is so blind... and annoying ^^U, and C.C because is an arrogant and...
I HATE the emperor! Dx

So, I guess I'm Britannia's side most of time...

[lb-x.livejournal.com]

Actually, I think she's the one character who deserves the title. I mean, I have my moments where I hate Suzaku/Kallen/CC/whoever, but I don't think I've ever actually liked Nina.

Re: raaaaaaaaaaaant

[halevy.livejournal.com]

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

[aetherae.livejournal.com]

OH YEAH, C.C. TOO FOR ME.
WE C.C. HATERS ARE SO ALONE. -KRAIZ-

*prepares to be lynched* I, absolutely, cannot stand Lloyd. His personality, his design, his voice. The entirety of his character is just GRATING to me. xD;

[sapphynashi.livejournal.com]

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. :\

Er, rant aside, I don't think I hate anybody in the series. Or at least, hate would be a strong word. XD; I'm not fond of Schneizel because he reeks of Scheming Rat Bastard and as of now has no redeeming qualities. I don't like V.V. either for the same reason, though he's more of Bratchild. Lloyd grates on my nerves at times, but he can be amusing too. I've only recently begun to see Kallen in a positive light (her constantly being sexualized annoyed me and for a long time she was just a pair of walking boobs and boring personality).

[highside.livejournal.com]

I honest to god DO NOT see what the hell is so great about her

[highside.livejournal.com]

Baaaaaw! I'm sorry ;o;♥

[highside.livejournal.com]

seconded

[i-own-boysluts.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've met anyone who has liked her. Her character is so pointless.

[tenshi789.livejournal.com]

I HATE THE EMPEROR TOO

HE'S UGLY xD

[tenshi789.livejournal.com]

I have no idea what to think of Schneizel. At the start of the series, I think we were meant to think he was evil from what other characters said.

And now he's all kind and gentle and I'm like

WTF ARE YOU GOOD OR BAD O_O

[halevy.livejournal.com]

I sorta liked her until she went apeshit. I mostly felt bad for her about how she told Euphie she didn't find herself attractive or anything special and basically how she hated herself.

She made Euphie realize something about herself and Suzaku and pretty much motivated her unintentionally to go to Suzaku. Though I think that was the last... okay thing she did. D:
