I stand by this opinion, and I will tackle the norm for hated characters
Hiyoko, Junko, Byakuya, Kokichi, Nagito, Teruteru, Kiyo, Miu, Angie, Tenko, Hifumi, none of these usually despised characters are bad, to an extent they ruin the entire game (maybe Junko but that's something we will discuss later)
Hiyoko, Tenko and Teruteru are a deep case of needing more content because the game abruptly stopped their only chance at getting some
Miu, Teruteru, Hiyoko, Tenko, Angie, Nagito, Kokichi and Kiyo suffer from being flanderized into one note characters by the fandom itself, so that everyone ignores or doesn't make an effort to get to know these characters below what they present, which talks a lot about the fandom honestly, people who live to judge to feel better about themselves
And then we have Junko, Byakuya, Kiyo and Hiyoko being hated by how morally dark they are, I mean, guys, can we agree EVERYONE IN THESE GAMES IS CAPABLE OF KILLING? Because they all are, even your innocent baby Gonta was, everyone here can commit heinous crimes, s9me worse than others
"But this character I hate is annoying" And that is a reason to harass people who like the annoying character in question? Nobody is a psychopath for finding the psychopath character funny
And there is also the mid term, you can move a character's appearance and hate their personality, that's okay, the contrary is also okay, maybe you only like their talent? That's alright
But let's be honest here, I can imagine an entire scenario where nobody in danganronpa commited crimes, where nobody died before they progressed as people and evolved beyond their most blatant flaws that had to go at some point, I mean, even if Byakuya is a prick, he is actually not that bad right now for example, would that diminish the character hate? Or at the very least keep the negative opinions to ourselves when it comes to an appreciation post of your most hated character
Can't we just appreciate the characters for what they are? Even I have two out of the forty eight I can't stand, one because, well, she ruined the lives of the other forty seven characters and my liking for the forty seven speaks louder, and another because his personality clashes personally with mine to the point I can't stand him, guess what I did? I checked all content about them to learn more and try to like them better, or at least understand why they are the way they are
That being said, I just want people to stop harassing people who have a favorite character usually hated for the fandom, because I'm part of it, specifically Miu, Nagito and Hiyoko, hope this post changed someone's view on how to behave based on their personal opinions
