So why do people hate this guy...

So why do people hate this guy? Sure he may be kind of a bitch at times but that doesn't make him a badly written character. Do they just want a Mary Sue?

He’s a retard that cries about how tough everything is when he can just kill him self over and over to grind and win. I’d do way better in his position

he aint shooting mountain leveling laser beams out of his cock dog what is there to like about him?

immature faggot who doesn't grow up even though he is put through life threatening and litteral death and still acts like a 15yo

He's really not that bad but his anime and his suffering is hard to enjoy watching at times. This is shortened to "hyundai a shit" by the average Zig Forums brainlet

If the only two types of characters you can imagine are blank slates or Mary Sues that's on you, OP. You're not capable of having a discussion.

>character flaws bad
So you do just want a Mary Sue.

See Character development, a defining feature of literature for thousands of years, isn't being a Mary Sue, that's just basic storytelling. Characters experience things in a story and are changed by them. In fact, that's the opposite of what a Mary Sue is. You don't even know what you're saying, you're just repeating memes you've heard.

uh actually it's gary stu

He is made to be unlikeable, doesn't matter whether he is a Mary Sue or not

He does develop and change as the story goes though. The fact that he doesn't turn into a literal God after 10 episodes doesn't change that.

its because people are either baiting or have such high delusions of grandeur that they believe that having the memories of your loved ones constantly reset and experiencing death multiple times is "easy" to get over.

I like him him

>Do they just want a Mary Sue?
Yes

You know what'd happen if he kills himself and his power doesn't work? Subaru has a higher IQ than 90% of everyone here.

He was a neet for a reason though, being unlikeable doesn't mean that he is a bad character

I hesitate to use this word as it's practically lost all meaning at this point but Subaru is the literal definition of cringey. You feel embarrassed just watching him operate. You don't want to root for him. He's a terrible protagonist. Saying he's simply a "flawed character" deflects from the fact Subaru is very unlikable. I hate his face. I hate his voice. I hate his clothes. I hate the way he either takes things too seriously or not seriously at all. Fuck Subaru, fuck Re Zero. Most overrated anime of the past decade and it will probably be this decade as well.

No he is an arrogant autist who never listens to anyone but still manage to convince big shots to help him out even though he has the charisma of an oyster because the author couldn't actually write him mature for self inserting purposes

did you even read/watch the series

Seeing as how Subaru also hates Subaru, you should at least like the part of him that hates himself.

no because all he does is whine about his flaws but he never tries to correct them or at least work aroud them
instead he keeps going full spergismo autismo

He's been trying though. E.g. He's nowhere near as delusional now compared to the start of the series. If he fixed everything all at once, there'd be nothing to build on.

The dude hasn’t really cried or whined at all this season.

He is in a show that is popular, especially within the r****t domain. That is his greatest offense. The people that hate him are mostly shitposters/speedwatchers that may or may not watch the show despite supposedly hating it from the start. The only issue they have with Toyota alone is that he is scared of dangerous things and gets emotional (but you can’t compare him to Shinji because mental gymnastics) . Any limitation of his RbD is ignored from multidrift speedwatching or for the sake of shitposting, so most critique is telling him to shoot himself to get bullet immunity.

>inb4 they bring up him crying in the latest episode as if that isn't one of the most appropriate times for a person to cry

Mostly incel edgelord contrarians

from recent episode? I can assure you those people got triggered because they hate their own parents, kek.

>all these faggot defense squad
kill yourselves

It's almost like gradual character development is the entire point of the series.

Failing calc after taking it two previous times. I know this feel.

Maybe we hate him because on some level we know we are just like him.

I don't know. Maybe too much flaws for a protag? Maybe people expect him to be isekai lead like Kirito? Maybe his flaws hit too close to home with some people? I don't know.

Good post.

The problem is that re:zero fans latched on to the (literally, in this case) meme that people only hate mazda because they relate too strongly to him. When in fact, it is the opposite. The people who relate to him are those who act similar or relate to him. It is rather the simple truth that characters, and people like toyota arouse instinctive and instant contempt, always have and always will.

People have hated Shinji from NGE since the days when most of the Re:Zero fans were still in diapers. They didn't hate him because they couldn't self-insert. They hated him for the same reasons as Subaru. But at least Shinji had the excuse of being a literal child, as opposed to a manchild.

And no one give me the stupid "character development" meme. The fact is, if Subaru was as good and realistic a character as people claim, there wouldn't be the retarded romance with Rem or anyone else in the cast. Then it would be at least accurate, like Shinji. Don't show someone attracting girls left and right - or any girl at all - if you intend to show him as an example of character development.

I thought it was BC he just doesn't go full rem route and wife the onion and commence breeding
