I have a habit (thankfully not too regular but still) of taking a dislike to a character a sizeable (or at least loud, going waaaay back to Blake's 7 and the Tarrant Nostra) part of the fandom is in love with, and then spend my time in the fandom avoiding them. I mean, messily killing Stargate's Sam Carter was fun, but got you less than fun comments on the archives.

I don't hate this one in The Untamed, which is a nice change, he's quite interesting as a character in a shabby-virtues/shabby-vices sort of way, but the way he's whitewashed and woobified because he's pretty and cries a lot really annoys the heck out of me. Which made the wordage panning him very therapeutic, though I tried to be fair and accurate (because fair and accurate is Good Practice).
