Top Ten Stupidest Reasons to Hate a Fictional Character

While many rather overrated characters/products are terrible or just disappointing, not everything classified as overrated is indeed bad.
Overrated doesn't mean bad. Both words have very different meanings and hating on something just because it's popular is just ridiculous. Unless the said product/character/person doesn't really deserve the insane amount of praises It gets.

I hate when people use this as an excuse to hate something!

Like FOXY Rainbow dash. And there's so much more.

What a bad excuse

Like the previous item, this is a stupid reason. So what If they're the good guys' rivals? The good guys need to have competition throughout the story, too. They can't be insanely overpowered, have everyone lick their shoes and have no problems in life. Because If they have a very easy life and they don't have any problems, yup they're gonna be a hated character.

I used to hate Bowser, Eggman, Plankton and any other antagonist for this reason when I was little. Thank goodness I don't anymore.

Foxy a good guy well there all good guys.

Looks aren't everything. Not in judging an actual person or a fictional character. A good personality and intelligence is a lot better than a good looks or character designs because a bad personality can make the most good looking person ugly and that a good personality also can make the one you thought is the ugliest in terms of look attractive. In other words, looks aren't everything. Besides, once you grow old you'll get wrinkles while a good personality and knowledge won't get them once you age. You can photoshop an ugly face but not a terrible personality. So in conclusion, physical appearance shouldn't be treated as the most important thing. A great personality and intelligence should be.

MLPFan, Finally some justice for diaspro! I am a fan of the show and flora and diaspro are me favourite characters!
I'm just happy for seeing some justice!

I agree. I wish the Sephiroth fanbrats would realize that not every character who looks like him is the same as him, too.

Just because they look alike, doesn't mean they act alike.

Sometimes, the bad guys can be more well round that the good guys. Sometimes the good guys have better development too. But this is still a biased reason to hate a character. Sometimes, the good guys can be mary sues/gary stus you know (and no mary sue/gary stu character is a good character)

Yes to all the people who hate count veger porky and many people because they're supposed to be evil

And this is a very silly reason to hate a character because, to be honest, actors and actresses are just doing their job and they're not hurting anyone with the characters they voice. They're just a different kind of 'artist' in my opinion, just like how animators draw the characters or how composers create the music for various media. And a voice artist doesn't need to look like the character in order to voice him/her, unlike live-action actors and actresses.

Inspired from a really asinine reason from a certain list, this reason to hate a character is ridiculous. Especially if major character death is a part of the story or If in the universe they live, death is very possible or even common to happen to any character.

Unless it's a pathetic death like yamcha

I can't even watch Phineas and Ferb without thinking about the fact that Sanjay from Sanjay and Craig shares a voice actor with Baljeet. Call me immature.

The large hate towards Junko Enoshima after DR3 Despair came out is simply explained by this item. Wanna know WHY they hate Junko?
Because she killed everyone's precious cinnamon roll, a.k.a A(nnoying mary sue) tier Waifu goddess a.k.a Chiaki. I personally never liked Chiaki in DR3. I never liked her that much in DR2, but she's terrible at DR3! Nobody cared so much when Natsumi or the whole student council died, heck very few would care at the other deaths in The Animation or even at the games. So when Chiaki died, everyone threw a fit and started a large hate on Junko.

Yeah, I hope everyone realizes that what fanbases say about the actual character is wrong and only personal opinion that will never happen.

It's annoying when people use this as an excuse. Fanbases have nothing to do with the actual character themself.

Of course, trolls must always feel the need to ruin lists. Someone please stop them.

That's actually pretty decent reason to hate a fictional character.

Then why even watch it?

I can understand why people tend to get angry when a side character gets shoehorned into focus and gets too much screentime, because believe me, I do feel that way too.
But hating a character because they get less screentime? Sounds like an asinine reason for me.

This is a very ridiculous reason to hate a character. This is why Kingdom Hearts is such a bad franchise and fanbase is that most of the fans don't get along well. Kairi is hated because many KH fans want Sora and Riku to be a couple. Xion and Namine are hated because they want Roxas and Axel to be a couple. Crossover ships are the absolute worst, though.
