I don't understand how to force yourself to like a character. Do you mean that because these characters are hated, you make an effort to look deeper into their stories and characteristics and thereby find things you end up liking? That could work, I suppose, but for me, I mostly wait for the click.

[(Anonymous)]

For me, that's basically it, yeah. If I encounter a bunch of character hate then I will usually check out the source material and see what all the fuss is about. I usually end up liking the character.

[(Anonymous)]

Not OP

Sometimes I feel sorry for characters if everyone's hating on them, or feel obliged to point out the good points everyone seems to be overlooking if the mass reaction seems too one-sided.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, this. All the hate kinda gets to me and makes me feel sorry for the character. And their fans.

[(Anonymous)]

I can definitely try to be objective and bring up the positives if I feel called upon to make a defense, but I don't necessarily have to like a character to do that.

[(Anonymous)]

I think the point is that doing that enough times will actually make you think about those defences and then you start to like them.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Basically yeah, it's a matter of taking a closer look at the character to refute the things that the haters are saying. I'll take the example of Lori in TWD, since that's when I first really noticed myself doing it. I got into the fandom during Season 2, and so many fans were going on about how awful and stupid (and a slut) Lori was. I did find some of Lori's decisions ill-considered and they often had bad consequences, but some of the criticisms seemed unfair, so I started thinking about Lori's motivations and what must be going on in her head. When I did that, she suddenly started making a lot more sense and became very sympathetic, in a sort of tragic way, and that's when I started liking her more.

Have you seen Breaking Bad? Skyler White seems right up your alley.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Admittedly I haven't really had any interest in Breaking Bad, since it's not my usual genre and I've heard through fandom that there are no characters who aren't awful. But probably.

[(Anonymous)]

I tend to just be perverse and in possession of a contrary nature.
