Re: I hate that character so much that...

[cakemage]

I mostly try to keep my Chakotay hate to myself even in my fic, as he's a fairly popular character (for reasons I'll never understand) and character-bashing in fanfic just feels kind of tacky to me. I try very hard not to bash him when I include him in a fic scene, but deep down I'm thinking about how portraying him as having a likeable personality is wildly OOC the whole time I'm writing it. Leaving aside the Native American stereotypes that went into his character, my dislike of the Maquis in general and the fact that every so often the show would give him a hobby or interest in one episode and then never bring it up again afterwards, his personality and expressions are so wooden that all of his sex partners probably have to pick splinters out of their junk after every sexual encounter with him. Also, I'm still salty about C/7, especially since most of Chakotay and Seven's interactions up to that point involved him treating her like shit.

It doesn't help that I spent several years trying to force myself to like him, as the fandom spaces I hung out in at the time were very anti-character hate of any kind and I wanted to fit in. Finally admitting to myself that I still hated Chakotay was quite freeing. These days I just try to avoid Chakotay fans so that I don't have to bottle up my absolute disdain for him. I may not understand why so many fans like him, but I'm not gonna yell at anyone for it or try to spoil their fun, 'cause that's not cool.
