What fictional character types do you hate?

People who are huge fucking assholes

Re: What fictional character types do you hate?

Characters that won't kill a bad guy because then they'll totally be as bad as the bad guy.

Re: What fictional character types do you hate?

Anti-heroes that are just jerks and don't seem to have any redeeming qualities. Actually, just in general "heroes" that are awful people and yet the creator wants us to root for.

Nice guys who we are supposed to see as progressive and decent just for being a decent human being most of the time. I'm not going to praise a character for not assaulting a drunk (or spelled) character (I'm looking at you, Xander Harris). The fact that you even though about it is not a good thing, and you don't deserve praise for doing what any normal human being should do.

Depressed villains who don't really want to be villains or just don't care about anything and are miserable. This rarely works. The only time it has really worked for me is Vader hating himself more than anything else. But most other characters like this are just annoying.

People who are constantly kind of tragic, but due to their own inaction or poor decision making, particularly if the reason they behave like that is not due to a personal motivation like greed or fear, or to some kind of personal issue like trauma or depression, but rather because they are either hidebound by tradition or they just don't seem to have the intellectual tools and wherewithal to do something, and also they never really grow much. Characters like that are beyond annoying and I want to punch them in the face.

Basically, nearly every single character in Mervyn Peake's Titus Groan.

[greghousesgf]

characters who have no personality and appear to be in the show/movie because they're being played by some no talent who is fucking the producer.

Re: What fictional character types do you hate?

[morieris]

Single-stereotyped characters. The lone "tough chick," the "typical" guy, the simply "prissy and stuck up girl," it's lazy.

Re: What fictional character types do you hate?

Pacifist characters in stories about war. They almost always turn out to be hypocrites without the narrative being aware of it.

Re: What fictional character types do you hate?

[(Anonymous)]

I hate characters who fit this trope:

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TooDumbToLive

Most of the time it's crappy writing or lazy writing - someone needs to be in danger, so they do a bunch of really stupid stuff that lands them in danger! Or a plot is very weak so the character has to be too blind to see through the trick. Haaaaaaaaate that.

Incredibly intelligent characters who are assholes.

Re: What fictional character types do you hate?

[nightscale]

Asshole characters that aren't treated as such by the narrative in that you're actually supposed to root for them or are treated as 'heroes' despite the fact that they keep doing the same jerkish actions over and over and none of the other characters seem to care.

Have a character be a dick by all means, but don't tell me that they're the sweetest person alive when all they do is think of themselves and fuck over everyone else at any given moment.

Re: What fictional character types do you hate?

Genius science types with no sense of personal space/other boundaries. Overly precocious kids. (A smart kid is OK, if they're kid-smart. But there's limits.) And if you combine the two...ggggg.

Re: What fictional character types do you hate?

[(Anonymous)]

Characters tailor made to be another character's perfect love interest, with no motivations outside of supporting their partner.

Characters who are selfless to the point that it upsets the people they're sacrificing their happiness or wellbeing for, but who we're supposed to still view as perfect angels.

Characters who pine over another character, projecting an idealized image onto that character, and become furious when the image they've built up is interfered with in any way... but who we're expected to feel so sorry for (and who all the other characters feel sorry for) while thinking that the character they're pining for is such an asshole for being their own person.

Re: What fictional character types do you hate?

[feotakahari]

I've said this before, but I generally dislike characters who have a lot of power and trample all over other people's wants and needs because no one is capable of stopping them. This covers a much wider variety of characters than you might think.

Ironically, I like unOrdinary, which is about an entire civilization of people like this, shitting on each other from progressively greater heights. I guess it makes a difference when the narrative actually acknowledges this is a bad thing.

Please tell me my coworkers are not normal (TW for incest)

[(Anonymous)]

So I work in an office with 6 other people. A couple of them I'm a bit closer to because we have more in common, but in general, we all get along fine.

Anyway, today we had a newish client (let's call him John Smith) come in. Someone asked him about his weekend plans and he got to chatting with my coworkers. One asked if he was doing something special with his girlfriend (she thinks he's hot and she's not exactly subtle) and he said he didn't have a girlfriend. Anyway, conversation continues, and he mentions that he lives with his brother. At that point, Coworker #1 (let's call her Amy) nudges Coworker #2 (let's call him Tim) and gives him this weird look. They continued talking, and John left soon after that. As soon as he's out the door, Amy turns to Tim and says "you heard that, right?" He starts laughing and says "you know what that means!"

I was a little lost at that point and figured I missed something since I was trying to get some work done while this was going on and only halfway paying attention, so I asked what they were talking about. Tim says "he lives with his brother and he doesn't have a girlfriend!". At first I wasn't getting it, but Tim is gay and is always pointing out when he thinks clients are, so I thought he was probably thinking the dude's "brother" isn't really his brother, but his boyfriend and he didn't want to talk about it. I said pretty much that and he said "yeah, if he looks anything like John, that would be so hot". I'd meant that he had a boyfriend and was calling him his brother because he didn't want to admit he was gay, but Tim took what I said to mean that I thought the guy WAS his brother and they were sleeping together, and that's apparently what he'd meant. Then Amy joined in saying it would definitely be hot, and at that point two other coworkers (let's call them Tina and Dave) came over and asked what was hot. Amy said "John Smith is banging his brother" and they both started laughing. Dave (also gay) agreed that it would be hot because John is hot and Tina said something like "man on man isn't my thing" but that she didn't think anything was wrong with it if they WERE sleeping together since it's not like they could have "fucked up babies".

I said "I don't care if they can't have babies, it's still messed up" and got called uptight and a prude. WHAT THE FUCK. There are four people agreeing that it's totally fine to have sex with your siblings as long as you don't have kids. When did this because normal?! (Also, where is the logic in thinking that if he lives with his brother and doesn't have a girlfriend he must be having sex with his brother?!)

Am I just completely out of touch and this is considered totally fine now, or are my coworkers a bunch of weirdos?

Does anyone know any stories (movies, tv, short, idc)

[(Anonymous)]

Where a character actually sacrifices their loved one for the great good. Like, a parent lets their child die or someone lets their partner die?
