Emiya Shirou

Because Wormfags desire him to change those ideals for an used worm depository.

He’s a chivalrous moron who only succeeds because of luck and plot convenience.

I really have no idea why you guys are so absolutely obsessed with Sakurachads. Why would "wormfags" hate Shirou when Sakura is the one girl he abandons his ideals for? It's like Sakura lives in your heads 24/7

I love Shirou so God damn much.

He's a simp. He lets bitches get free room and board free of charge. Works, studies, clean and cooks. For nothing in return.

He literally dies 90% of the time.

>chooses a girl over his dream

Honestly speaking, HF is the only route that makes sense

>staying true to his ideals?
Because he doesn't.
He stays true to his ideals in fate
realizes his ideals are flawed but chooses to still believe in them in UBW
then completely throws his ideals out the window in HF because god damn dat wurm pus

Did he really give up his ideals? What were his ideals and dreams, either way? His moral worldview was too childish. How do you even become a hero with that kind of mindset? None of that makes the slightest sense. Fate sucks

His ideal was, purely and simply, "I want to save people".

His 'ideal' is basically his way of coping with his survivor's guilt. As Rin often admonishes him, he has no sense of self and no sense of self preservation. So he used the 'ideal' as a justification. This is why in HF he reluctantly admits that he likes Kirei because he's empty like him.

Shirou is a high functioning sociopath. He's the "good" Kirei, Heaven's Feel made the parallel multiple times. Just as Kirei is someone who fundamentally cannot feel happiness unless its at other's suffering, Emiya Shirou's so called altruism is simply him trying to replicate the same happiness he saw on Kiritsugu's face as he saved him from the fire. Fate Stay Night as a whole is very much a story on how Shirou regains the humanity he lost in the fire through the development of his inherited ideal. Unlike Kiritsugu who blindly chased after the grail until the very end, Shirou from the very prologue is aware of the impossibility of his ideal, you can't save everyone, one party will end up getting hurt regardless (as seen from the bank robbery analogy used in a monologue).

Because he met physical proof that his ideals cause him to be miserable for all eternity and will ultimately result in him losing his mind, yet he insists all is well.

It's nothing as complicated as survivor's guilt. When Kiritsugu saved him, from Shirou's perspective he was shining. The sheer joy in Kiritsugu's expression at being able to save someone imprinted heavily on Shirou's broken mind. That's the true foundation. It all goes back to that one memory. Shirou's ultimate goal is to recreate that emotion for himself.

Shirou doesn't become a Counter Guardian in any of the three routes.

Shirou is the most tragic character in the fate universe. He became everything he despised. No matter what, he could never escape his destiny as the Archer - a cold blooded killer mercenary.
