Saber.
I've specifically avoided any contact with Fate/anything because of Saber. As far as I can tell from how she's generally portrayed in the rather copious fanworks, she's got the depth of a cardboard cutout, but that doesn't matter to anyone because OMG SO BADASSSSSSS (see also perhaps Erza Scarlet.)
About the only character I hate more than Saber is Asuka. It's not that she doesn't have a personality - she's a complete and utter ***** and people adore her for it, and that I simply do not get.

Mako; from the legend of Korra
This guy is a douche and yet somehow has 2 attractive woman after him, one being the Avatar the other a girl from an incredibly wealthy family. The entire finale I was waiting for both Korra and Asami to ditch him and go for lesbians.

I think I probably will find an example of this for me in any piece of fiction I read/watch/play. Guess I'll throw out the two that normally get the most disagreement Tali and Kreia. I don't find either's character very appealing and I just can't seem to get interested in them, which is annoying when the game keeps trying ridiculously hard to try to get me to care (which just became annoying).
Infact that probably where I not caring about a character turns to dislike alot of the time for me, when the plot tries to hard but fails to emphasise characteristics that you might actually find appealing

Kratos. Admittedly, a more popular option as far as these kinds of topics go, but I just cannot connect with this guy is any of the games. No matter how many people someone kills and how many of those are your family, one does not simply brutally murder every f***ing human they come across. I mean, King Minos. Poor bastard can't stop turning things into gold, is practically having a breakdown and is then TERRIFIED of Kratos, turns out to be for good reason because Kratos dismembers him and throws him in a lava flow. I mean hey, that's one way to make a lava flow traversable, and to be fair probably the quickest around, but he didn't even need the whole guy. I like characters out for revenge, but Kratos is a raging dick well beyond what he has any justification for.
And Duke Nukem, for very painfully obvious reasons. Just the unironic pretencious arrogant f*** yeah, all of that...just a poor, shallow and distasteful character. If it were ironic, that'd be different. But he is absolutely played straight as if people are meant to just go along with it.

...does the entire world, or all non-mutants, not count as victims?ODWX9K said:

(sit-com fans start your engines)
To save myself from a rant 'n' rave I'll simply say even at her simplest character interactions she remains one of the most hypocritical and selfish characters a show has ever had the gall to give the moral high ground to on almost every occasion.

Not really. Well, there's the entire cast of Soul Eater, who range from "annoying" to " I just don't give a fuck about them".
Other than that, not much. If this was a thread about characters I like that people hate, I can come up with a few.

Agreed, there's just no one likeable on the show anymore!BaronUberstein said:
Also, I don't get why so many people like Sosuke Aizen from Bleach. He's a smug, over-powered jackass who won't just fucking die already!
Oh, and all the characters from Twilight. 'Nuff said.
House from the show of the same name.
I can accept the rudeness, his "genius" and his misanthropy.
I despise the fact that he is everything he constantly criticises other people for being, and that not only makes him those things, it makes him a hypocrite as well.
What winds me up the most about it is that in the show the other characters still for some unfathomable reason want to be near him. There are people who take the job to work with him, just for that privilege. Despite the fact they get treated like work animals and are basically glorified nurses in that they do the legwork while he does the actual diagnostics.
Scratch that, I dislike the entire cast of House. They are all too stupid to be in such an important line of work.

Gwen Cooper from Torchwood, her whiny, self-righteous ass should have died instead of every other member of that organisation.
bluegh.
bluegh.
Sephiroth has nonsensical motivations and next to no personality, and is nowhere near as badass as everyone claims.
Yep. He's an annoying whiny dick.thewaever said:

But I don't think anyone likes Ted.

For me, it's Katniss Everdeen. She's just not likeable.
She gets pretty much everyone killed in the end (in some horrible ways I might add), all because she wanted to go kill one guy, which she doesn't even do.
captain jack sparrow from pirates of the Caribbean, hes just a massive dick, who cause all the problems in teh plot and we are just expected to like and root for him, i just hate him, the fact he got his own move bogels my mind
My answer for these threads never changes
Miranda Lawson
Ashley Williams
From the Mass Effect games, they're just all around bad people who lots of people seem to like for what ever crazy reason they do...
I also hate Dom from Gears of War because he MURDERED HIS WIFE! And that's just not cool.
There are lots of characters that lots of people love that I qualify as "non entities" you know, blandly written, poorly acted, personality deficient characters who people love just because they're waring mark 5 armor (You see what I did there) who I can't hate because there's nothing there to hate. So I just end up hating there fans, so I don't think it counts.
Also any potential love interest who is actively mean to you, hence Miranda Lawson. There's a word for this that starts with a T that I don't remember, but it just sucks.
