I'm so glad the showrunners don't care about what Suits fandom likes because if they did, I would've stopped watching a long time ago. And I feel that hating Mike seems to be the fandom status quo. I don't get it. I think both Harvey and Mike are dicks, but not enough to stop watching.

I don't like how Harvey's dickishness is bad but Mike's is very called out.

I gave up watching the show a long time ago (after the first season), but I admit that I totally liked Harvey and totally disliked Mike. I think it was because Harvey owned his dickishness. Whereas Mike was a lot whinier and more wishy-washy.

At first I didn't care about Harvey and liked Mike, but toward the middle of the first season it switched around because of what you pointed out. I don't know if it was always there or ramped up, but Mike turned out to be such a wormy hypocrite. I stopped watching partly because of him.

+1

I initially considered Harvey a magnificent bastard along the lines of Louis: someone who's great fun to watch but a terrible person to know. But Harvey turned out to be principled and loyal, while Mike proved to be weak-willed and selfish and hypocritical. No contest as to which of them I ended up preferring in the long run.

And I feel that hating Mike seems to be the fandom status quo.

Considering all the woobie!Mike fic and the fact that Harvey/Mike continues to thrive as the fandom OTP, I really don't see this. (It could be very different in the non-fic writing portions of the fandom, which I'm mostly ignorant of. But in my corner of the fandom, hating Mike is decidedly a minority position.)

Yeah, I thought hating Rachel was the popular fandom opinion. It's only made me love her more! But not Mike/Rachel, kill it with fire.

I'm late, but - this! So very much.

When I was watching, it felt very... forced. Rachel was a wonderful, fascinating person, unless she was interacting with Mike, at which point she became a cardboard cutout of a love interest.

People hate Mike because Mike is awful. You should probably stop watching anyway since you seem awful.
