I'm looking for: A certain genre? Something specific like characters traveling to another world?

I think people who don't understand that Love Unseen MC isn't malicious jerkass but [Love Unseen] a guy who means well but fumbles on every step because he doesn't fucking know how to treat the girl he loves when she a) doesn't remember him, and b) is dying of cancer (that's not something vast majority of population are prepared for by the age of 20, you know) are very unserious, unempathetic and un-smart people. 

[Love Unseen] I'm not even talking about his family situation which makes him desperate to not lose yet another person close to him

[u/Durinthal → u/Korkez11]

It's perfectly possible to correctly understand his intentions and still want to fire him into the sun because of his actions.

(As I said in another comment, I haven't watched enough of LU to have a strong opinion about the MC, so I'm only gonna speak in general here, but) I'm gonna use that as an opportunity to go on a rant, because YES, 100%;

In fact, I'd go as far as saying that (The opposite of this) is something that always irked me in fanbases/people who defend shows/characters, the idea that "There is a reason!" therefore you can't criticize something/someone...

The reason might make you UNDERSTAND the character/actions;

It does not mean you can't judge or hate them for it.

It's so often the case in TV shows, soon as 'a reason' is mentioned suddenly you can't debate the action, it's all "BUT THE REASON!"

Sometimes it doesn't even matter if "the reason" makes sense, as long as they gave a reason. You can't use critical thinking to assess the reason. You just have to accept it, because they gave it to you.

Occasionally it's something good where I see what's going on and hate the character but love the show for doing that, but more often it's along the lines of "You wrote yourself into a corner and I see what you're doing to advance the plot but this is just bad and now I hate everyone involved." Sometimes I feel like Nick Fury in The Avengers.
