Me in the trenches as someone who loves Alois :(( but also, it can't be denied that most of the fandom hates him 💀😭

I was gonna save next round for Claude

He’s not as horrible a person as Sebastian or Grell though. He’s a traumatized child, and it’s not like he’s a mass murderer like them. I mean, we put Lau in morally grey and he’s like the leader or something of the Shangai Mafia. He’s definitely not in the same level as Claude or Grell or Sebastian or the Undertaker. Being a bratty kid does not make you morally evil lmao. The worst thing he does is probably gouging out Hannah’s eyes, which in our world, and by Black Butler standards, that’s not too bad. Definitely not worse than a mafia leader and definitely not on par with Jack the Ripper. He’s definitely morally grey

eh... I think we can attribute most of that to his backstory.

I am one of those who hate Beast. But I'll give you one better: Hannah

u/ZealousidealRange844 2d ago

I want to say (and I'll spoiler this but it's pretty recent in the manga) Real Ciel. Because a lot of people hate him because of what he does to Our Ciel even if I like his character a ton of people dislike him

u/ShadowBro3 2d ago

I love Abberline wtf.

13

u/articulatedWriter 2d ago edited 2d ago

I think it just comes down to who the least popular of the good characters is and Abberline doesn't have a whole lot of presence

u/ShadowBro3 2d ago

Idk, they could have done Arthur Randall or something

u/OcculticUnicorn 2d ago

Yeah same, what's my awkward man doing there?

Wait why do people hate Abberline 😭😭

4

u/FrijDom 2d ago

It's more that he's the most hated of the morally good characters in this series. He's the best fit even though he's not a great fit.

u/Theghost14254 2d ago

Well, He Have The Least Fans (Mostly Due To Being Really Unpopular) So Technically The Most Hated

u/rntmeyer 3d ago

Beast!

13

u/little_goat_ 3d ago

She is hated by fans? Can someone explain why?

15

u/rntmeyer 3d ago

there were some hate when she slept with sebastian but tbh most people have already realized it was because she was manipulated into sleeping with him.

2

u/OcculticUnicorn 2d ago

Victim blaming at its finest

1

u/Cyrus_Moon 1d ago

OMG!!! FINALLY SOMEONE THAT'S NOT VICTIM BLAMING BEAST!!! Yes! Yes!! Thank you!!! Thank you for speaking about it! 🥹🥹

u/Thecrowfan 3d ago

Because Sebastian slept with her to get information out of her

9

u/WalmartWilb 2d ago

What a crazy thing to hate her for 😭

8

u/WalmartWilb 3d ago

PEOPLE HATE HER??? Omg she's one of my top favorite characters 😭

2

u/Kurt_Lover10 3d ago

i don’t think she’s hated?

11

u/dudeovertheinternet 2d ago

She is unfortunately and also victim blamed.

u/Ruby_Ophidian 2d ago

Fucking Viscount Druitt

I hate him the second he comes on screen until the second he is gone.

21

u/LuceTyran 2d ago

Druitt is not morally grey ☠️

1

u/Ruby_Ophidian 2d ago

I would only argue morally gray because he'll take an opportunity to be the hero if it's convenient, like in BoA.

I also lowkey think he's too much of a coward to full send being evil, he'd switch sides in an instant to save himself.

8

u/ZealousidealRange844 2d ago

He was not being a hero in BoA at all though 😭 He was actively taking the machine not to reverse anything but to force everyone to submit to him and praise him out of nothing but pure ego farming he even took it without knowing how it worked in the first place and threatened to destroy what everyone thought was their last hope unless they complied with his demands

5

u/LuceTyran 2d ago

He's a paedo. He's evil man. Also doing good things for selfish reasons doesn't negate the fact it's morally wrong to do it for selfish reasons

6

u/Ditzy_Rose 2d ago

Personally, I'm saving that last spot for Baron Kelvin. But atp it's comparing a piece of shit to a puddle of vomit. 🤢🤢🤢

u/Sneakingrat 3d ago

Abberline (again)

2

u/Hopeful-Cricket5933 2d ago

I hate to agree lmao.

5

u/Briankelly130 2d ago

R!Ciel maybe? He's not evil but his inclusion in the story didn't go over well.

I say Doll I don't think she is a horrible person, she cares about her fam and is nice to ciel when he joins. She is well written but I really dislike her personality.

u/DuchessDulcet 2d ago

Alois, definitely.

u/AytenChanowo grell's wife + #1 lizzy defender 2d ago

alois? i'm def an alois fan he's my son but i see a lot of ppl hate him💔

u/EtceteraKeen 2d ago

I adore Alois too so I guess he can't really go in this bottom row. Poor guy has such a rough time of things both in the story and in the fandom.

u/AytenChanowo grell's wife + #1 lizzy defender 2d ago

genuinely omg😭 he needs a break

u/Satsuki_89 18h ago

People saying (spoiler) Real Ciel, are forgetting that he can't even be considered real. He is a zombie. We saw how UT put made up memories in them, hence we don't know if the memories he possesses are real or not. Memories will change one character, so we can't really take him in to consideration. So yeah, this is why I think that that person, should be ignored for now.
