OP are you me? I've always had a preference for main characters, and for a long time my list of favorite characters was pretty much all white men plus Olivia Dunham, even though I am an Asian-American woman. However, I have noticed that, as I grow older, my favorite characters are diversifying.

Honestly, I would say you shouldn't worry about it too much. As long as your most hated character list isn't filled with women and people of color, I think you're fine. Like what you like.

Glad to know I'm not alone!

I noticed that one big issue I run into is that a lot of my favorite POC or women-led works are books which, unless they're massively popular (like The Hunger Games or Harry Potter) don't really have a very big fandom.

I will admit that I tend to dislike characters that are only present for a shoehorned in romance, though. Like Arwen in the Lord of the Rings films - I liked her initially but as the trilogy went on she just got on my nerves. I came to like Eowyn a lot better.
