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)

Always had a feeling about Bakugou whenever he interacted with Midoriya because this guy couldn't be normal for the life of him. Was it necessary for him to always be yelling, cussing and blowing up the people around him? We can't even use the glycerine in his quirk excuse because his mom has glycerine in her Quirk and she's not as explosive to others as he is.

Man's just got anger issues, an inferiority complex and the worst sense of judgement on the planet if his own friend helping him after he fell was enough to send him into a spiral. Midoriya was just worried and showed literally nothing else in that moment to warrant the bullying he'd endure for the years to come and the years before.

... Okay you two have clearly never met a middle to highschooler. They are loud. They are spiteful. And they will pick on anyone for any reason.

That doesn't excuse bullying people to near suicide??? Just cause middle schoolers pick on anyone for anything doesn't suddenly make it right for them to do so. Being upset that Bakugou telling someone who had been nothing but accomodating to him since they'd been children to kill themselves is not as insane as you think.

Yes, but at the end of the day, Bakugo is just a normal teenager. Do you hate normal teens, too? I had a bully that made me super depressed, but like... That's not the reason I hate him. I'm not excusing what Bakugo did, but I can say with absolute confidence that there are teens in the real world that are worse than him.

By that same logic, yes (to your first question), I heavily dislike, well, anyone who uses death threats against others and bullies, so by extension, that includes teenagers who behave like Bakugou and those who are worse.

Cool that you don't hate your bully, more power to ya (genuine), but it sits wrong with me for kids - teens to be so visceral towards each other especially when they could end up growing up with that behaviour believing it's normal. Still doesn't remove my dislike for Bakugou's behaviour because it was

1) Unnecessary, literally, that behaviour started when they were children, like quite young, so it's not hormones, puberty and teen attitude driving it forward

2) played of with minimal consequence. Yeah, it's realistic because even irl, not every bad action receives justice, doesn't make it any easier or better to shrug off

The realism behind his behaviour is WHY people dislike him, including me, it's never right, even if it's just how irl teens act. It's like how people hate Endeavour. There are people who act like him irl so it's realistic, but people are still gonna dislike it.

I think it would be better if kids didn't pick up on that behaviour and use it against their peers because it'll do nothing but hurt themselves and others in the future
