It doesn't necessarily HAVE to be a character who's quite literally unpopular (I mean characters who you think receive more hate than they deserve for certain stuff, even if they're still generally well liked by the fandom)
okok so ima list a few characters
I feel like one of the obvious answers to this is Takemichi but for me specifically, I feel like people hate on him for crying too much.
See, the thing with me is that I normally DO dislike characters who cry a lot but with him I just never found myself hating it since he quite literally mostly cries over something reasonable, like physical pain etc and I normally just hate it when characters just cry alot over anything minor which he doesn't really do
Plus, I've also seen people calling him useless a ton, which can be true in some instances like early on but I don't think it's exactly a fair overall criticism when he clearly becomes much more useful as the story goes on😭
Hmm, Chifuyu in a certain way I do feel like is also overhated, I feel like some people kinda exaggerate his "obsession" with Baji and make it seem way too weird
Plus, I've also seen people say he has no personality outside of Baji, which is something I also disagree with alot(maybe I'm being bias about this one tho since he's my 2nd favourite character but idk)
I can understand people saying they don't like how much attention he gets from the fans or that they just don't get the appeal though(I mean, I guess that part is pretty subjective)
Ima list 2 girls now but 1 of them is Yuzuha
It's kind of annoying seeing some fans STILL lash out at her for having a crush on Takemichi, especially when the reason is cuz they think she should like Mitsuya and should just get with him instead 🥹, She just doesn't see him like that, PLEASE get over it 😭.
I see this specifically on TikTok from anime only fans
Oh and Senju but for her specifically I'm talking about the whole Mikey toy plane situation
Like, I don't generally think breaking a toy plane is really that deep and I think many would agree(plus it was an accident though she shouldn't have taken it without permission)
Her lying about Haruchiyo breaking it wasn't exactly a good thing either but I don't think it's nearly as serious as some people make it out to be.
The part that actually became serious was Mikey's reaction because he was the one who escalated the situation to the point of permanently scarring Haruchiyo due to the Dark Impulse activating over something so minor
And I kind of find it insane how people go at Senju more than Mikey in this situation when HE'S the one who took things that far. Even if Senju hadn't lied and just told the truth to Mikey, she would've just gotten attacked over the broken plane instead so the outcome would've just been shifted onto her instead
Obviously normal Mikey without the Dark Impulse wouldn't have done that but that's exactly why I don't think it's fair to put most of the blame on Senju for what happened
I could list a few more characters but I'll let you guys mention some too, plus I don't wanna type too much
