The reason I dislike "comfort character" is that I always see it in the context of someone complaining that another fan wrote/drew/posted something they don't like about that character. Fuck off, different people like different things. So I associate it with whiny anti-style complaints.

Ugh, same. Which fits right in with it being infantilizing. They treat themselves like young helpless babies who can't curate their blocklists and fanfic searches and who need their comfort characters, like literal babies need their comfort blankets and comfort dolls to stop them crying.

Funny that I made a secret about hating the words "comfort character" for being infantilizing, and almost all the replies were aggressive "let people enjoy things" posts. Yet now a lot of replies on this secret are saying exactly what my secret said.

Seriously. But it sounds less like the words are poorly chosen (though I think they are) than that the behavior they're associated with is deeply repellent.
