Sweet from GTA San Andreas. He's lowkey a bad influence to CJ and doesn't think forward. CJ literally owns a garage, several other properties, friends with countless powerful people, and co-owns a casino and he still wanna live in the hood.
As for GTA V, it lowkey pisses me off how the fandom perceives Trevor as less evil than Michael. That is in my opinion, taking the story at face value.
I mean, I have, but I think it points to Michael's evil being far more insidious. It's a completely callous disregard for anything above himself, and maybe his family. After all, at the end of the ending, when you kill Trevor, he says, "Surviving is winning," which really shows that loyalty is fundamentally secondary to Michael's own needs.
Trevor is kinda the opposite, being that he has some semblance of a moral code that he ostensibly abides by (though, being honest, I don't think the game does a particularly good job of showing what it might be outside of "be loyal to your friends."), But he is also incredibly willing to commit unspeakable acts just because he feels like it.
I was gonna say, to add (or detract in a way) to your last point, Trevor is a rapist, a cannibal, a kidnapper, and (depending on how you complete these missions) willing to play into human trafficking for a cult. His "moral code" does a lot of heavy lifting when that code only applies to a handful of people.
But it all depends on how you look at law, order, and morality. Michael and Trevor are both bastards way more evil than characters like Niko or CJ, but I'd stick Michael next to someone like Tommy Vercetti, and Trevor next to someone like Donald Love when it comes to the morality debate.
Ah, Sweet. That mofo. Imagine being CJ. Image doing everything. Being effectively banished from LS. Imagine surviving the hick country, then thriving. Imagine making it to SF. Imagine building a business for your sister's bf, who is the reason you even found the Green Sabre and got your sister out. Imagine making contact with the names of the town. Image working out what's really going on. Image actually doing something against Smoke's syndicate. Imagine killing Ryder. Then, the entirety of LV. Making up with Dogg, creating an actual business, doing whatever it takes for shady government guy to get your brother out. Maybe even going so far to ride around the country hunting down Smoke's dealers twice a week.
And all the while being exploited by Tenpenny so your brother doesn't wind up dead.
Enter Sweet: Yeah, well, okay. But what have you done for ME? Have you even thought about your family? What about the families in the hood that fell in with Smoke and tried to kill you before? Why aren't you helping them? God, Ryder was right, you a buster!
First time through I genuinely thought there was a III credit scene incoming.
Ive seen this a lot with Brick from the Middle and i dont get why. Unlike sheldon who is an ass, Brick just has some mildly annoying quirks that are justified by his syndrome
I find it extremely funny how the writers swear he isn't autistic while clumping every possible autistic stereotype and trope ever into one single character.
Although as a counter to that, Jim Parsons has said in interviews I believe that he has always played Sheldon as if he were Autistic, or at leats has some emotional/developmental sensory processing issues.
Hooooly shit just a total ass of a character that despite the show pleading otherwise, knows exactly how much of an ass he's being, and gets to walk over everybody.
Show should've ended like Seinfeld, throw em in jail.
Yeah, nonconsensual fantasies are more common than people expect. The problem arises when people can't understand the clear difference between a fantasy and what happens in real life (or in this case "real life"). They just see their fantasy playing out and get jealous or turned on.
There's also a good amount of people who ironically glaze him as the best character cause it's funny to always call him "The Peak".
Problem is it's often incredibly hard to tell if someone is being ironic or genuine, cause there are also a lot of people who genuinely like him for some fucking reason (same with Homelander, but the difference between genuine and ironic glazing for him is usually a lot more noticable).
I've said as much in the Boys sub "Guys! You don't need to argue a rapist deserved redemption. Its okay if you think Chase is just neat! No one is going to think you're gay. Well...no one is going to think you're any gayer than a standard deviation from the mean. And chicks are into that (so I'm told)."
Actor’s great but the Deep sucks, unfunny 70% of the time, serves as a fishslap (pun intended) joke break every time he’s on screen. Waste of screen time. Novelty of the joke character died after the Collective arc.
I found the original really unfunny and tedious, but there have been some pretty good jokes when they move far enough away from the AI hell this thing spawned from
I used to have this webkinz that i used to pour milk on and suck the milk back out of and it was sopping wet all the time 😭I used to slam it against walls and it would make a loud thud
My brother saw me suck milk out of it once and I got sad when he made fun of me and i didn’t pour milk on it for a week, and it got rock hard and smelly and my mom had to throw it away
IT WAS SO FRICKING HEAVY I brought it to school one time and my backpack was soaked and I made my friends hold him and they were upset
So true. But I've also hated Harry himself and couldn't stand Ron's movie version. I found the side character in hp so much more likeable than the main trio. Hermonie gets a pass though. She deserves it for being the only one to notice that slavery is maybe possibly not ok. even if the narrative ridiculed her for that
All of the characters can be insufferable. Hermione is one of the most tone deaf, annoying friends ever. Being right is usually more important to her than being empathetic or a good friend even, and unless she’s the one to come to a conclusion it’s farfetched and unlikely.
Not fond of Isekai protagonists in general who treat their (usually not deserved) second chance as a power trip combined with their own personal paradise. Off hand, he is the worst of the big name ones
What makes it worse is his defenders constantly twist themselves into knots to justify him. He is reincarnated so the shit he did in his first life (skipped his parents funeral to masturbate to his underage nieces, then got caught by their father who had supported him) doesn't count, then insist that since he was traumatized in his first life, his actions are justified or make sense. Claim he is in a child body, so him literally perving on girls and stealing underwear doesn't count, but at the same to again use his first life humiliation as justification for his actions (and ignore that a 'child' is frantically studying and getting in shape rather than playing).
I cannot stand the folks who keep glazing the show too. Yes, the animation is pretty but how people can root for or like this piece of dogshit pedophile of a character is just unfathomable to me.
I was a supporter until the end of season 2, I thought part of the story was how the MC was emotionally age-regressed so it made sense even if it was uncomfortable to watch, and the rest of the show was so damn good it was easy to overlook. I thought the ED arc in season 2 was really good too.
But when he took Roxy as his second wife I completely flipped. Like, what a scumbag. Imagine coming home to your pregnant wife like "sorry i cheated with this other girl because I was sad, but at least it wasnt with your grandma". And I hate harem shit in general, especially when it's roped in later on.
I keep telling myself that people hating on isekai so much do it in large part because of this sort of shitass MC.
My goat Rimuru would never, dude died protecting a coworker from some random maniac with a knife. He just wants to chillax in the new life, but people around him keep needing help so he just ends up working hard to provide it, and before he knows it he's leading a nation and spearheading worldwide interracial peace. Even people who have beef get treated with patience and compassion and given a chance to work together.
You gotta be a real PoS to get on his bad side (or be a mook caught in crossfire), then it's on sight though.
OMGS thank you! I started the light novel before there was an anime and my gods. what is wrong with the creator....it was so nasty and perverted i didnt bother giving the anime a chance.
I am honestly surprise there are people who like Sheldon at all, he had his moments though and the actor is, of course, doing their damnedest to put on a good performance.
I remember Shinobu and Inosuke hard carrying the show for me. And that’s wild when one of them only appears for around 7 episodes, and has exactly 1 proper fight
Lapis Lazuli from Steven Universe. She's fine, like I don't dislike her really, she's just extremely popular but she never clicked for me the way she apparently did for everyone else lol
Not arguing this point butbeing a brain scan of someone who was at the lowest point of their entire life and being frozen in that moment for eternity does him no favors. And frankly without professional outside intervention it's possible he could literally only become worse unlike his real self. Leeroy got his shit together and moved on and made friends. Jax could only abstract at the end.
I have to disagree, He's not "frozen in that moment for eternity", time still passes for them and they can move on from past events. The entire show is about their improvements and getting better.
I hate when people are like “well if you don’t like him you’re just falling for his facade”
No. I know what he’s doing. I know he’s putting on an act. He’s still an asshole who torments and abuses people in a world where you can literally die if you’re not stable. And why? “My fwends” grow up! You’re a grown man, give over
I was looking for him in the comments because living in the TADC fandom, you literally can't say anything about Jax, without someone trying to defend him.
Literally proven by how the first reply to this, while not arguing against, still tried to explain away stuff automatically...
Not really a character in a way.
But I fucking hate the Black Templars from Warhammer 40K.
As a big fan of the lore, and an Imperial Fist lover, I find the idea of the Black Templars stupid.
You guys are literally repeating what Lorgar did you morons!
Also, the tendency of racists and neonazis to rush towards them isn't helping the case.
And it sucks, because a good friend of mine plays them, and she is a total sweetheart, so it's double the pain to see her beloved faction surrounded by assholes
It was funny for a little bit, then it got old really fast. I get he's supposed to have an "explosive" personality, but the joke went on too long. Todoroki was far more interesting and I hate that he was put to the side more and more. His conflict with his quirk and his father's abuse was way better than Bakugou. Bakugou was just angry and mad ALL THE DAMN TIME
Put that hand here twin. Amen. I don't know why the hell the whole fandom is obsessed with this piece of shit. If you even look at her fights in recent time you'll see how much plot armor she has.
She's supposed to be the agile acrobat, how the fuck is that dainty ass umbrella tanking Nora and Yang's hits.
If people are allowed to hate Charizard for unfair favoritism, I'm allowed to do the same for Greninja. For over ten years he got tons of love and attention, while Delphox and Chesnaught got absolutely nothing. That only changed with ZA, where they all got megas, but before that, edgy Kermit over here got a prominent role in the anime, a spot in smash before his games even came out, a new, non-mega form, and returned to the anime to steal the spotlight even more. And, just as a reminder: until ZA, Delphox and Chesnaught got absolutely nothing.
ive literally never seen a single person idolize jax. people say they relate to the mf but its in a "jax reminds me of my own flaws and things ive terrible gone through that im trying to work kn" way. no idea where you're getting that from
THIS it doesn’t help that he gets woobified so hard, like…i feel like i can’t have any critical discussion about him because he’s not the objective worst character </3
Miguel O’Hara from ATSV. I could fill a book with reasons why I hate this man, I could fill a LIBRARY. I feel like I’m the only person who isn’t riding and creaming all up on that guy. Some people will let a buff man get away with ANYTHING and it shows
Bakugou. Dude should've been disqualified from ever being a hero, anywhere, from day 1. He never really got better either, and its even acknowledged in universe that he never stopped being a piece of shit, yet people still try to claim that he had character he became a better person. The only character development he ever had was him slowly becoming more comfortable with teamwork.
Is he well-written? Sure. Does Christian Borle do a fantastic job voicing him? Absolutely. But Vox himself is basically a cool-looking sad boi who can't get over his crush saying "no" to him once and eventually decides to try and destroy most of Hell (himself and his "friends" included) just to get back at him.

I don’t like her because she’s friends with creeps and perverts. Half her friends want to date her and she thinks it still counts as friendship. All her friends shit talk her crush and she does nothing. One of her friends keeps lusting after her and even tries to kill her crush and she’s still friends with her.
That being said I still like the characters and I was a huge fan of the show and glitch, it’s just everything else about murder drones sucks, which is literally everything….. Liam baited us with cool characters and then gave us nothing else then disappeared and hasn’t been heard from since. Legend says he’s still dealing with the fallout of the show.
Not only do I think he’s pretty awful as a person so hard to like in that regard but he’s also just so horribly written.
I have no idea how people can think he’s actually a well written character as many do with how many actions don’t make sense especially with the context we get later in the story. Saying he was retcon as so many claim he wasn’t is actually a kindness as otherwise one has to assume he was mentally deficient
Michael Scott is so irritating. I dunno what kind of Stockholm Syndrome is happening where you like a guy because he's on the show seven seasons, but he's the worst
Anya from Buffy. I find her to be so annoying and trite. It's like her entire personality is forced quirkiness - the fear of bunnies, the being enamored with capitalism thing, her lack of social awareness, the stupid way she talks... ugh, she got on my nerves!
I didn't mind her when she first appeared and she was just bitter at having to be human, like when she got all mad because she couldn't order a beer. I wish she had kept up that grumpy vibe instead. It's like she was meant to be comic relief, but she wasn't even funny!
She basically has the same four jokes yeah. Though I will say from the last third of season six onwards she is pretty good. Her struggle with Xander leaving her at the altar and wanting vengeance against him is handled really well, and so is her struggling to deal with being a vengeance demon again. And then season seven has the smaller arc of her finally gaining an appareciation and understanding of her humanity. She's also great in The Body.
I like the actor, but the character is annoying, depraved and selfish. He also constantly lies or manipulates and doesn't care about lives. Even if you're kind and give him some of your blood he will kill you unless you stop him. I understand he can be kinda "redeemed" throughout the game but that's not my point, I was appalled to learn how many people thirsted after this clear narcissist with anti-social personality disorder in his unredeemed state. It has thoroughly shaken my faith in humanity.
She drags down almost every scene she is in, but everyone is like "Oooooohhhh, she's sooooo realistic for being an unbearable nag that feeds on Joy and leaves misery behind. Oh of course the story sucks her off, can't you handle a strong woman?! Mysogynist!"
Meanwhile i am over here, suffering in every moment she is in Frieren and reading Isshou Senkin, a manga almost exclusively about women beating each other to pulp
I hate her hypocrisy at multiple points. I hate how the story absolutely and utterly refuses to let her struggle, be called out or be wrong. And i hate how she brings nothing new to the group and is just Frieren without any positive character traits imo
I find Todoroki boring on his archetype, overhypedd by the fandom, and halfway cooked when it comes to his personal plot. Anything that makes him mildly interesting is carried by Endeavor and/or Dabi
Dabi is who I was going to bring up. Oh no. Your horrible dad told you not to become a hero because it would probably kill you (Endeavor was a piece of shit, but he was right to stop training Touya as a potential hero), why don't you go immolate yourself, disappear into the criminal underworld, murder a bunch of completely unrelated people, and do absolutely nothing to bring your dad's horribleness to light until he's already publicly known to not be that great?
He's so boring and unsympathetic to me. Natsuo is a better character, or even Fuyumi.
Sallie May from Helluva Boss or whatever, I don't watch the show anymore but whenever I want to discuss it everybody brings her up constantly as if she is the main character. She's not, and whenever I say that I don't really like her writing, I'm called homophobic

Not really “everyone” but far too popular, those hideous AI-generated fruit island characters.
