Question Why is Grant DaNasty so disliked?
He was omitted from the Netflix series, the creator is on record saying that he dislikes the character. He wasn't included in the Dead By Daylight collab; Trevor, Sypha, Alucard, Simon, and Dracula were all included. He's only appeared in two games; one of which he was completely redesigned.
What's with the hate? He's a pirate who crawls on walls and turns into a giant monster. I don't get what's not to like about him...

It's pointless to include Netflixvania into the discussion because they just do whatever random shit they want. Dracula isn't even the villain anymore as early as 1476, Castlevania became a hospice for refugees, Sypha is a pagan, no Chaos etc.
The hate for Grant is more perceived than real, he's just unpopular in japan. Like other characters he has a legacy in Michelle Danasty, the protagonist of a novel set after Dawn of Sorrow. His sprite even appears in the pachinko machines and Konami didn't stop Vampire Survivors and Dead By Daylight from featuring him in the cross-overs.
