    Basically every character who’s worst sin is just being kinda annoying

    It makes no sense to me how an annoying person can catch so much more vitriol than a genuinely malicious person.

    Like “sure he murders puppies as a casual past time, but at least he isn’t a bother about it!”

      I guess in a show the annoyance they cause to you is real but the puppies killed are fiction

      I don’t hate characters for being evil in fiction. Evil characters can be super entertaining. The game of thrones books really captured this potential IMO. A character being annoying to the reader/viewer directly impedes with you enjoying the show.
