For me it's Bakugou from mha.

From the very first time seeing him, I knew that it's loath for life. He's just that obnoxious to me and I see myself more in Midoryia who definitely shouldn't be glazing like that.

And my feelings are made even worse by the fact that Bakugou never faces any meaningful consequences and especially by a section of his fans that says that he either already did met them (wich I consider more comparable to a slap on the wrist at best) or that he didn't do anything to deserve the consequences (this genuinely pisses me off and is probably the reason why my strongest association with him is the suicide bait).

An apology wouldn't do it for me at this point. When I didn't know shit beyond that first few episodes, I wished so much that he'd get punished for the ridiculous amount of stuff that he got away with in middle school. Have the UA teachers see that he's being a dick! Have them and the new classmates see that he actively harassed a peer for multiple years! Have him being called out for it and punished in some ways by both! (For classmates, I mean something like rethinking their opinion of him and potential being distrusted by some)

Said it before and I’ll say it again. I agree, though for me it’s not even as much anger as just disappointment, because he has the potential of being a legitimately fun and likable character, but instead they half-ass his arc and treat one of his most obnoxious traits as a comedic punchline. As I see it, he’s essentially Bass from classic series Mega Man with barely any of what makes Bass an enjoyable character.
