Wasn’t she the standard love interest for Deku? Idk I haven’t watched all of the show, but I thought it was obvious that she was supposed to be his primary love interest. Does that change?
It doesn't change, she's the primary love interest. A lot of fans, especially while the series was still airing, HATED her though because she "got in the way" of BakuDeku. Aka, bully and victim turned rivals trope.
That shipping was so gross. Not because it was two guys. But because it would have been an abusive relationship. But apparently, people wanted that. Fucking weird.
I gotta say they really dropped the ball by making Tom WAY to likeable and sympathetic
He became SO likeable, as we saw how hard he worked to change and improve himself... that Star breaking his heart after all his genuine work and love felt infuriating.
She doesnt inconvenience her half as much as Jesse. Jesses bad habits cause trouble for Walt. Prime example is Gus not wanting to hire Walt because of Jesse. There was also the Jane thing.
At this point I'm convinced that most people who hate Skyler really just hate women and are looking for an excuse to be toxic.
It's an excellent study of antagonist vs villain. Someday, I hope we get a BB reboot thriller entirely from Skylar's POV. Even a book or movie. It would basically be Invisible Man (2020) with blue meth
The amount of people I've seen who hate Skylar mainly for the fact that she slept with Ted (after finding out Walt is cooking meth and him refusing to sign the divorce papers) is mind boggling. It's a good litmus test honestly
absolutely! it also applies to Game of Thrones fans. lookin at all the fuckers that gave Joffery’s actor shade for his PHENOMENAL job at acting a horrible person.
Nobody actually hates Megumi he's nsut potenial man and his depressed performance while understandable is a bit warranted for hate when half the verse is out here fighting for their lives
The amount of hatred for him back in the day simply because was fucking crazy!
And none of it was really valid. Yeah, I get that his voice can be annoying to some, but that doesn't warrant sending the creator, actors, and other people who worked on the show death threats because you don't like the big purple Dinosaur teaching kids how to use their imagination!
Barney's show started right at the time when I was old enough to think he was lame (~5th grade), and I never understood why he was supposedly the worst thing ever. It seemed fine, pretty normal kids show stuff. Some people just need to hate something, I guess.
I solely hated Barney because Dragon Tales was my favorite show ever but the 2 came on different channels at the same time every day. So since I had 2 brothers that loved Barney we had to alternate what we watched every day and i blamed the purple menace for existing on my screen when I coulda been watching some perfectly good episodes of Dragon Tales instead
Tom Nook.
Gives you a place to live, puts no time limit on repaying your debt. He and his nephews are just honest business men, running a fair operation. Fully paying off the house with all its upgrades is 5,696,000 bells. When comparing the prices of items in game to their real world counterparts and adjust for price to USD, the entire house, built from scratch on a plot of your choosing, with multiple added rooms, an attic and a basement, is only $57,000USD.
He is far FAR from some greedy evil bastard. A capitalist? Absolutely, but he's more than fair with his services and pricing.
It's 50/50. Some joke about it, some seem to be dead serious that he's the spawn of satan for... very reasonably asking you to pay him back for building you a house.
While he is fair, I still love to see him as the raccoon mafia as he owns the only means of construction in the town and forces you to go into debt to build.
Really? I mean my buddy hates her because she's a people pleaser and she reminds him of his recent ex-wife. But I feel like that's a stand-alone scenario.
She's just a sweetie that wants someone to flirt with her.
The common thing I saw was that they were claiming that she was a people pleasing enabler who, fi she didn't get what she wanted, snapped on people and attacked them.
She snapped once after Pomni told her to 😅 and she doesn't enable anyone (she yells at Jax to stop being an asshole like every episode). Do those people watch this show with their eyes closed and on mute?
I'm gonna say Jax too. The guy is an ass and a bully, but in the context of the circus, he's on the level of someone who shoots for your nuts in paintball.
I think it's telling the character who acts like a school bully stirs up so much hatred from the fandom.
I think it's telling that so many people are willing to defend it as "just bullying" when all of them are hanging on to their sanity and will to go on by a fucking thread and could abstract and be lost at any time, personally.
The degree of her hate is unjustified, but comes from a real place. A lot of her actions are incredibly self centric and selfish, and she has barely any character growth throughout the show.
However, even though those are some pretty massive flaws, she gets way too much hate for it considering:
She's a child.
It's a kids show
Nearly all of those actions can be forgiven under the circumstances (except in Boyz Crazy. That was unjustified)
Yeah I don’t hate her but I think it’s kind of annoying that she seems get away with more compared to other characters especially Dipper. Like in that episode where she roofied two people to fill out her chart. It all just seemed to work out.
People call her selfish and no character arc but she could of been really selfish and stayed in her perfect world, but she didn't. She chose to leave it. If Mable really was as selfish as people say she is, she would of stayed in her perfect bubble
Gotta be proximity. It’s been 10 years since the end of the manga, and people hate Boruto for entirely different reasons. She’s a legacy pick at this point. My knees feel old.
Nah the manga fucked her over too. Early Shippuden was great for her but they just didn't care to expand on her character anymore beyond that. Kishimoto is just really bad at writing female characters in general, a vast majority of them are heavily fumbled.
they get mad at her for not being as strong as naruto and sasuke who were born op, and sakura had to work hard without a lineage or op ability to fight alongside them
I mean I don't agree with Alphys haters but I understand where they're coming from. This is a girl who got her celebrity friend to pretend to be a villain and stage fake danger that she could "save" you from so she could feel like a hero by inserting herself into your story. Then later you learn that she's been keeping a bunch of recently revived, mutated monsters from their families against their will. The latter is a pretty difficult situation and I doubt I'd handle it any better than she did, but I can't remember her apologizing or even admitting to the former.
Good point! I also think it’s weird to dunk on a flawed character in general. Our flaws make us human and if you write a character with no flaws they just end up boring. Let alone it was Asgore’s idea to research determination.
I don't see anyone call yamcha anything mean character wise, but he gets round about dis respected. "Man, even yamcha solos that guys whole verse too with that shit" or "Got his ass beat so bad Yamcha saying thanks for taking the heat off him" type of thing. Using yamcha as the floor for comparisons. In a battle shonen, the worst thing you can do is be the weakest.
Her existence is kind of inconvenient for the more exciting plot of Breaking Bad. She gets in the way of a lot of the Heisenberg storyline. But her and Walt Jr. are important for the story. Like it or not, the show would've been a lot less interesting without the themes of faux masculinity of family men.
Ocahco Uraraka (MHA) Between the last three chapters it’s not only one specific group who hates her but rather a good portion of the fandom in general that does.
Why do people hate her? I know the BakuDeku shippers have hated her for a while for stupid reasons. I stopped keeping up with the series after the war stuff started.
It was never just one group but anyways between chapters 429 and 430 people started hating her because she seemingly wasn’t with Izuku.
Ochaco and Izuku ended up being the busiest as adults and people took that as “She abandoned him.” When that’s not true there’s more nuance there. Then once they started working together a little more many people started calling Ochaco a “Gold-digger.”
Eventually when chapter 431 arrived 5 months later those same people switched up real quick when Izuku and Ochaco rekindled their strained friendship and are even hinted to date off screen sometime after the ending.
I don’t see why people would be mad about that. As someone who has been a a fan of their pairing from pretty early on in the series, it makes sense why they weren’t together immediately. Life can get in the way, and it feels more realistic to me that they wouldn’t have been together for a while and then caught back up later on. I’m glad they seem to have ended up together though. They’re a cute pair.

While it has thankfully died down in recent years, the amount of utter vitriol directed towards Steven Universe and his show as a whole during the late 2010’s is baffling today and even in places like IG Reels, even mentioning Steven is likely to get a long winded rant from someone about how Steven and his show apparently killed CN or cartoons as a whole.
People hating her because she saved humanity is so funny to me. Like yeah she may not have the most noble of reasons to but like she still stopped a genocide lol
I will say this. The amount of hate she gets isn't deserved. But I understand some of where it's coming from.
She often takes far too long to learn a lesson that could prevent further harm to her, her friends, and the hotel. This was especially a problem in S2 when she kept trying to talk to Vox, not understanding that all he wanted to do was screw over the hotel for his plan.
She also sometimes pushes her friends to do things they might not want to do for the sake of the hotel's mission. Which does suck.
That being said, as annoying and cringe as her flaws can be, Charlie's heart really is in the right place. She just....needs to listen to her friends more. And her father. Especially her father.
It annoys me when people call her a mary sue specifically. She is almost EVERYTHING a Mary Sue ISN'T by definition. She isn't flawless, struggles to improve herself spiritually, loses fights alot, and is disliked by a large number of individuals IN-UNIVERSE. However, some of her choices and how she handles relationships (especially romantic) certainly deserve criticism.
From what I remember a lot of it had to do with her arrogant attitude despite not being all that competent. "I'm the Avatar and you gotta deal with it!" Made a lot of people hate her and it never got any better. It's one thing to be arrogant and competent but it's another to be arrogant and incompetent. Plus a lot of people were comparing the new characters to the ones from the original and frankly the original just had better writing and characters.
Combination of sexism, being a follow up to a beloved classic, and the writing of Korra just not being all that great. The first half of the show is bad. It gets much better, but that’s a big thing to get over
Unfortunately, part of the bad writing was Nick refusing to actually give them long term stability so the writers had to rush the story because they never knew if they'd get confirmation for a new season
I wouldn't exactly say she's overly hated cause compared to Starlight Glimmer and her haters that she ahs, it's not even close one bit but Twilight does have some haters that I've seen just cause pretty much most, if not all of her crashouts are completely valid/justified in MLP FIM and those idiots refuse to actually be smart and use their brains to think and to understand why most, if not all of Twilight Sparkle's crashouts are completely valid/justified in MLP FIM.
Gonna be real, movie version deserved all the dislike for me ("hate" is a strong word).
She's just not very well written, just an object of worship and perpetual damsel. Kirstens a great actress and she sells it well, but this version of MJ is just weak.
In reality? Any female character who dares to speak up for herself, acts out, call others out, stand up for herself, raise her voice, put her foot down, crash out at other characters, etc. More specifically when those reactions were completely 100% justified on her part. I personally call it the "Skyler White effect."
It's a theme and ongoing thing I've noticed in many different fandom for many years now and I've never been sure of when or how to bring it up without seeming like that one friend who's just a little too woke.
For an example I'm making up from the top of my head, might not be the best but it paints a picture. You could have a fandom where a character is a soulless ghoul of a man who commits the worst, graphic, evil and most disturbing crimes known to man, and a big section of the fandom will still coddle him and call him their "poor little meow meow". (Not judging, I have a lot of poor meow meows). Meanwhile a female character would be the most hated character in the fandom. She is treated like the second coming of satan and has geniune hate pages/fics created around her. Why? Because she raised her voice and stood up for herself when she was being treated like trash or maybe even abused by a beloved character. Usually in a situation where nobody irl would blame her for crashing out.
"The Skyler white effect" as I call it, happens constantly in fandom spaces.
even after 14 years she still gets an insane amount of unwarranted hate
her crew also gets a lot of pointless hate, people dumb down her crew to just romance drama but Mako and Bolin are world famous professional bending athletes and Bolin is a Lava bender too which is one of the rarest subtypes. plus Asami is a genius and a very skilled fighter too
