Shinji, from Evangelion.

He's 14. His mum is dead. His dad is a piece of shit and a manipulative bastard, who sees him as nothing but a pawn. "Emotionally traumatised" doesn't even start to describe him. He's pressured to pilot a mecha and if he fucks things up people will die, he knows that they will die, and that it'll be his fault.

And yet people expect him to be assertive or to not have meltdowns? Come the fucking on.

Didn’t realize he was hated? He is a fucked up little weirdo but so is everyone in that show. Man, I might need to rewatch, been way too long.

Plenty anime fans hate him. Because he's weak, indecisive, broken. He craves affection but once people offer "here's some affection", he turns them down. That rubs plenty people the wrong way.
