From the look of things, most people in the fandom are ok with Suzaku now and have spontaneously dissolved their almost universal hatred of him as long as Lelouch accepts him (to use him). Is this why some people stopped hating Rolo when Lelouch finally accepted him when he died? Do we all really have our own steadfast opinions of each character in the show or do we just go with Lelouch's flow whatever it may be? I'm not suggesting that we should hold lifelong grudges against anyone and stubbornly hold on to certain impressions, but it helps to look back and see if our changes in opinions are sometimes a bit too whimsical, not to be critical or anything. =)

Opinions of each character are bound to change as the character develops. And judging from the opinions I've seen so far, a lot of people switched from hating Rolo / Suzaku to accepting them not because of Lelouch's acceptance of them, but because of other reasons. Rolo saved Lelouch at the cost of his own life, thus redeeming himself somewhat. As for Suzaku, his mindset changed drastically since the Freyja incident. So people who disliked / disagreed with his old mindset may find him more acceptable now.
Personally I don't care much for Rolo (his saving Lelouch was touching though). As for Suzaku, I found him annoying in season 1 because of his hypocritical nonsense, and frankly I thought he was psychotic for most of R2. :P But I'm beginning to like him better because he seems to have gotten over the past at last, and the ending of ep 21 was a nice surprise. :D
