"She was clever, strong, funny, and self-assured..."
And that is why I liked her. I guess I'm not understanding why a character has to want to be liked to be likeable. I mean, there are a crapload of characters in fandom at large (Sherlock and House are the first two that spring to mind) and in SPN fandom in particular (Gabriel and to me, Crowley, as I don't read his manipulation as a true desire to be liked) in particular who don't want to be liked, yet fans love them.

I think for me, it is that you are justifying your like of Crowley while I don't see him as that different from the person that you say you dislike that makes me side eye you a bit. I don't expect every person to like every character, male or female, but I also don't like double standards.

I well understand that my view is the minority. Particularly in this fandom. I've been reading Bela hate since the summer before the character was even first shown. I will continue to not understand the people who hold double standards for character behavior and people will continue to not understand why I actually like Bela. I'm used to it by now.

Bela is awesome. I was honestly kind of shocked when I first started looking around fandom after marathoning the first five seasons and found out how hated she is by large portions of the fandom.

[meredith44]

There are a few people who like her, but, yeah, she is mostly very much hated. Sadly, though, it doesn't surprise me at all. Maybe because I had been in the fandom for awhile by that point.

Just gonna link to my response earlier in the thread rather than type it all out again.

I'd also like to add though, that funny/clever/etc. isn't enough to make me like a character as a person. I'll laugh at the funny and the clever (which I did do with Bela, as well as Lucifer, and I'm still doing with Crowley this season) but it takes a little more evidence of humanity to earn my affection.

Crowley this season has become too much like Bela for my tastes; there's no more little glimpses of something potentially better, or at least less evil, lurking under the surface. And it makes me sad.
