You know, what really makes me sad is this word: writers. Every story is an attempt to answer a question.... And for me if you call yourself a writer, when you sit to do your work, you should be able to look for questions that bring people onboard with you. Not liking a character doesn't say much, you know... it feels like you do your work throught your ego. And if you have a big mind changing point of view, fine!, put your energy into a personal work, cuz bashing a character doesn't qualify you as writer at all. Quite the apposite...
