Who is the most hated character?

[Kulfyr3]

As i sadly don't have the ability to make a poll, i decided to just make a thread asking you all, which character do you hate the most, and remember, all of them count, from grandpa to the purple junimo. Just try to be a little more creative than mr. Joja

As a sidenote, i dislike Ghunter a lot.

[HyperAije]

Grandpa. Instead of finding someone to take care of his farmland after he dies, he instead leaves the deed in a letter for his grandchild who may or may not open it, and just leaves the farmland to be abandoned.

(also I'm a little disheartened at how many people dislike Haley)

[Rambo First Blunt]

I don't hate anyone. I like all the characters. Even Grandpa.

This game does a hilarious bad job at character change. Especially considering heart events are NOT even mandatory, so it might come a a surprise when a character just becomes nice after you give them stuff, which turns out to be more of a gold digger stereotype than necessary. Normally Haley would be attractive, in say, a dating sim because she has reasons to change into a likeable persona, via help of the protagonist (self centered, I know) But the way they accomplish this is so quick and the dating aspect essentially nil that one can help but on their primary first impression, because it goes from A to Z so quickly.

Sebastian that annoying crybaby. Even with 2 childs, much income and all my love, he is still such a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Nuu you cant hate Sebastian ;-;
Hes just missunderstood and feels left out. He lives in the basement, and likes to do programming but noone takes him seriously with it. He spends his time in his room doing the things that he likes. He just feels like his stepsister maru gets all the attention and affection. He just wants some love. Give him love damnit ;-;

In one of the married with two kids dialogs, Sebastian does admit that the sibling rivalry problems he had with Maru were mostly his fault.

I don't really 'hate' any of the characters, despite what I have to say about Morris. I think he's actually a bit of an idiot/corporate pyramid fool, though, because if you go the Joja route, he gets all excited over his success because there's a promotion in it for him. It just kind of reminds me of the nonsense that they used to put kids through in elementary school where you felt like a loser if you couldn't scam your neighbors/relatives/etc. into buying stuff from the fundraising catalog so you could get prizes.

Unfortunately, Haley is probably the most hated. (I say "Unfortunately" because I feel that Haley gets short shrift from most players, who are stereotyping her based on her appearance instead of really evaluating her behavior objectively. Haley is not a ♥♥♥♥♥, but because she's blond and attractive, people take everything she says and view it through that lens. Which is ironic, given that Haley is often criticized for being the superficial one.)

In my opinion, the character who should be most hated is a toss-up between Demetrius and Pierre. Yeah, that's right. Pierre.

Demetrius is obvious. He's controlling and overbearing when it comes to his daughter's life. He treats his stepson like utter garbage, and seems to have more sway in this than Robin does, so Sebastian gets confined to what is basically a windowless dungeon. He makes veiled threats at you when you're starting to build up a friendship with Maru, and stalks you later. Demetrius is terrible.

And Pierre? Pierre doesn't trust his own wife. He is obsessed with his business to the point of neglecting his family. He treats what are supposed to be social events and festivals as an opportunity for profiteering, and wants to make up new holidays so that he can commercialize those, too. He uses constant passive-aggressive nagging and guilt-tripping to try to encourage people to shop at his store. He blames JojaMart for expanding into his "turf" and making life tough for the small-town shopkeeper, but he wants to do the exact same thing after they're gone so that he can build up a chain across the region. When the community center is completed, he attacks Morris and assaults the guy. Say what you want about Morris, but he was only ever doing his job (smarmy though he may have been about it), and he wasn't harassing you in the process to try to force you into his store. Pierre is, at absolute best, a raging hypocrite who subordinates his family to his dreams of being, well, the next JojaMart.

About Haley, that's really ignorant of you to say that. Even if she does get better, in the beginning she is just....not a very nice person. She flat out insults you the first time she meets you. At least as a girl farmer. She criticizes her sister so much and acts selfishly, and complains ...a lot. In one of her cutscenes, despite raising her friendship with her she doesn't even bother to call you by name, you're just some new farmer despite Emily using your name just fine. But who knows maybe you're projecting, you think she looks nice so you see everything she says as more rosy than it actually is. Assumptions are so much fun right? People who dislike her and think she's rude af aren't necessarily superficial just because YOU disagree. :)

Because people don't assume stereotypes, like assuming Pam is abusive because white trailer trash. There's literally no proof. The scene with the messy trailer? I think her anger was somewhat justified in that scene. I don't want people coming into my house, and then "help" me out of pity. I don't want to be badger by my daughter about the choices I make with my body. I understand where Penny is coming from, but it doesn't seem like Pam is less actually abusive and more like someone who drowns their sorrows in alcohol...she even apologizes to the players, signifying she has more tact than you'd expect. Rather, it can be said that Pam and Penny get into fights because Penny worries about her mother's health. I sympathize, but this reeks suspiciously of backseat driving. Normally, kids in my country wouldn't scold our parents for something that doesn't really "affect" anyone. Penny says it affects her, but what can she do, force her mother to be a mother? The same mother that puts a roof over her head, who goes to work every single day so that the player can get a ride to Calico desert? The same person who apologizes to the player for fighting with their daughter in front of them?

I'll be honest, there's some missing variables, but it's safe to say that Pam is a non abusive alcoholic whose alcoholism strains her relationship with Penny, but not to the point of abuse.

But that doesnt mean he didnt feel left out, so he acted out on it causing the sibling rivalries.
Yes Sebastian is my faveorite character (along side Linus) so i will defend him. =]

I hate those Junimos. Those little bastards won't even talk to you unless you give them stuff, they just run and fade away when you get too close, then one of them follows you like they're your "friend" once you finish a bundle, only to vanish when you leave and re-enter the building!

[Autumn Elf]

I like Harley and Pam the least. I'm giving Pam coffee all the time so she can sober up :D I think I don't see Harley too much and he seems rather uninteresting, even though his back story was pretty cool.

[khiro]

I like em all but morris.

[Jellyscoot]

I think Pierre is my least favorite. He cares way too much about business instead of his family. I never see him with Caroline or Abigail, just alone in his store or at the saloon. I don't get why people hate Alex and Haley >: Alex is super adorable when you get to know him and he has the cutest pooch in the world >W<. Haley is very cute as well for her love for photography and her queen bee ego that soonly fades away when you get to know her. She has fights with her sister and she is rude to the townies, but I'm sure it has to do with her parents being gone.

I gotta agree with you there, Pierre also comes on your door a couple of times, just to promote his business, and to talk thrash about joja.

I don't really agree with you on Haley and Alex though, but as i haven't really tried to get in relationships with any of them, i guess that makes sense.

Alex isn't bad at all. His ego is just a facade. He has issues because of some family stuff and that's made clear pretty early on when you start to become friends with him. And, anyway, even though he comes off as a bit shallow and obsessed with his bod at first, at least he's nice to the player character most of the time. Unlike other people... *cough* Haley *cough*.

I really never noticed Alex's "ego", to me he just seems a little... dense.

Yeah, he's a bit dense. He seems to have been made to fit the "dumb jock" stereotype on the surface. But, like other characters, there is more to him of course. I think he came across as egotistical to me because he spends an awful lot of time bragging about how awesome he is at sports when you first meet him. He even apologizes later for being so arrogant. He's just insecure and he's gone through a lot.
