Why we hate him?

This lizard is too cute to hate.

Why would we? He's too based to be hated

Because he is as equally dangerous even facing non-magical opponents as long as he has 5+ minutes of prep time and his enemies aren't a literal Navy Seal squads.
He can adlib a bunch of Saw-tier death trap while under chase by an immortal mummy including using cleaning solution to trip them up, metal wire to do literal decapitation and communist helicopter ride and even theorizing an anti-Saint trap using their own speed to rip their limbs apart with piano wire.
And he already fought your run-of-the-mill plane hijackers/armed terrorists with nothing but hot coffee.

Because not everyone is America.

He punches women, so he's cool.

Ah I see, so the pretence he was a normal guy with a strange power was shatter while I wasn't looking since he can do this sort of things, besides what I meant is "why people that fight him don't just use guns", maybe his real power is to drop the IQ of people close to him.

>Ah I see, so the pretence he was a normal guy with a strange power was shatter while I wasn't looking since he can do this sort of things
IIRC, it shatters on-screen. As in, it only happens after a major plot event which screws with his mind and gives him a ton more experience.

>secondary railgunshitters
What the fuck? I do read Railgun manga.

Primaries read the LN, dude.

he's an unwanted third wheel

You'd have to wait until Apocrypha Volume 2 for Railgun LN though.

Don't worry, he got a headcrab wife to fukou da about.

They tried that. It didn't work.

Because magicians are arrogant. This is generally a rule in just about any setting with magicians. It's extremely rare for magicians to use conventional weapons. Even the ones that do use firearms prefer magic firearms. Magicians are too arrogant to use non-magical weapons. It's an unspoken rule.

Part of the reason this is so prevalent is because magic is a magician's reason for being. If you have a magician use a sniper rifle, then you're pretty much taking away their reason for being a magician. The reader would question why this character's a magician if they're not gonna use magic.

Why do westfags like edgelord MCs so much that an MC with normal behaviour and psyche makes them go - Oh he's just an average boring anime MC , now Accelerator on the other hand...
Did u guys not have a proper childhood?

In particular, Index magicians have it pretty fucking bad. People become magicians in this setting out of some form of desperation. They etch a sorcery name into their souls and dedicate everything to mastering their craft. The magic that they spent their lives mastering is literally everything to them, it's a core part of who they are. So admitting that there's something that their magic cannot handle is the equivalent of saying that they themselves are redundant. Yes, insisting on using magic against someone who can negate that magic is stupid, but if they were capable of accepting that there's another path, they wouldn't have become magicians in the first place.

The only magicians who would use a method other than their magic are either those who never had any sense of self-worth or shame in the first place, or someone who was so utterly betrayed by their own magic that they grew to despise it.

>normal guy
Yes and no. Touma is, even if he tries to downplay it, addicted to saving and fighting. He enjoys it so damn much, and he isn't a normal moralist. As soon as somebody appears with the ability to outright shatter the paradigm he tries to enforce, he's going to murder the fuck out of them. Didn't stop him from attempting to kill Izzard, didn't stop him from killing Kamijou No Touma.

What's funny is that in the first book, Stiyl realises that the mage he's fighting is a homunculus decoy... because he's bragging about his god-level alchemy that lets him turn anything he cuts into gold. It's an amazing achievement, sure, but in a fight it's not any more dangerous than regular combat magic, and the idea of building your entire fighting style around it is ludicrous.
The anime dropped this subplot completely.

>an MC with normal behaviour and psyche

Exactly, the author wrote all these whacky gimmicky characters himself, and he uses his boring little turd self insert character to give real life reaction to the whacky shit he wrote himself.

Touma is one of the shittiest protagonist ever. People like him because they can easily self insert to a boring faggot like him.

>He's boring because he's normal
Yeah, you just proved my point.
Wacky characters do not make good MCs since they tends to overdo it. It's the same reason my Misaka who acts like a tsundere, is normal in Railgun while the side characters are the wacky ones.

Better question is whe the fuck actually considers Touma normal by any means? He's a bonkers hypocrite dragon with a half-broken psyche.

then bring a firing squad that surrounds him, there's virtually no way that he can asspull himself out of that
