Where are we actually getting the idea that fandom disportionately hates straight white male characters? That seems bizarrely unfounded to me, especially given the legions of straight white male fandom faves. And fandom certainly has women characters it hates, at least.

Also, I think Umbrella Academy is a show where everyone is terrible, and which characters you're willing to forgive for it is just a reflection of taste to a certain extent, but even more than that, a reflection of one's own personal issues. Including myself here.

I think just existing in fandom makes it pretty clear than fandom disproportionately both loves and hates straight white male characters. I would say the disproportionate love is probably more ubiquitous than the disproportionate hate, but one very much does not preclude the other.

I largely agree with this.

However, I think the fact that a domineering character is white and male definitely does make it more likely that they will rub some people the wrong way, specifically because it plays directly into (completely valid) issues people already have about white privilege, male privilege, and how that privilege tends to shape the way men and white people conduct themselves in society.
