Re: 23.
I think overall Raito is more hated than Near.
Besides: there's shitload of fanart and fics with Near in it, so - NOT the entire fanbase hates him >_>'
I used to hate him once, but meanwhile he's just unimportant und uninteresting for meRe: 23.
however, i can state with absolute certainty that i have found the vast majority of people in the fandom do not like near, several even going so far as to say they "loathe" him (as do you yourself, in your user info). there is far more mello/matt art than there is mello/near (recently, at least), and far more fic which features matt, mello, or even matt/mello, than near in any shape, form or fashion.
you will note that in my original comment i used the word "practically"; i do not claim that the literal entire fanbase hates him, that would be both ridiculous and simply impossible, being that i know quite a few people who do not. however, the majority of my friends, and an even bigger majority of the fandom as a whole, either have no time for him or actively dislike him.
perhaps this is noninclusive of me, but when i say "the fanbase", i am referring to western fans, and not japanese ones (since those are the people whose posts i read and who i speak with on a daily basis, being that i speak english and not japanese). and, while i don't claim to know what's going on with the japanese fans (who produce the art i presume you're referring to), in the western segment of the fandom, near is hugely underrepresented in terms of fans.
