Why is he such a divisive character? People either think he's amazing or absolute shit and drop S;G because of him.
People are used to relatable everyman audience surrogate protagonistsHaving a protag that a blind viewer will spend the first few episodes genuinely unsure of his sanity is gonna throw people offThat's why I love him though
>>284071617People can't handle an MC that has an actual personality, they can only relate to self insert shounen and isekai slop.
>>284071617He's eccentric, which is the opposite of your typical aloof, tryhard badass, wet blanket protagonist.
>>284071617I remember not liking him at first in the VN, he comes off as an annoying retard but I started liking him later after I understood why he behaves this way.
It's mostly rezero faggots trying fo force a rivalry.That and dumb forced contrarians trying to make up for their lack of personality.Overall the hate is so forced.
>>284071617He is? I thought he was one of the most liked male protagonists out there.
>>284071617He is a huge inspiration to me, my hero(unironically)
>>284071617I found him to be immensely unlikable and dragged the story down. Being quirky isn't an inherently good thing.
>>284071617Tourists aren't familiar with the database from which he is constructed so they don't get that moe feeling when they see him. That's also why the shift from moe culture to electric town doesn't hit as hard for outsiders; although that scene really is different a decade later with that becoming more of a reality.
Tourists idiots who use mal, watch the anime and are dissapointed because they idiots probably.
>>284071617Normalfags can't handle the power level of a bona fide chuuni
>>284071998this + they are secondaries who haven't played any of the VN's
>>284071998>>284072085It's #3 on MAL stop making shit up
>>284072726????
>>284071617He's an annoying retard.
>>284073087He's a Einstein tier genius who saves the world and the woman he loves at the same time .
>>284071617People who hate okabe:1. Battle slop lovers: he is not strong and he cries2. Unintelligent individuals: people that dont understand him as a character, since is not basic enough.3. Contrarians4. AoT, OP, OPM...hardcore fans of popular franchises: they often lack critical thinking skills and dont understand what they are watching. Those franchises congegrate a lot of uneducated/illiterate people5. People that didnt watch the show
>>284072794https://myanimelist.net/anime/9253/Steins_GateWas #3, now its #4 because recency bias + Chainsaw Man lmao>>284073195What I like about Okabe is he's just some dude. He's a chuuni but he is very much an everyman who has a level of relatability, and when shit goes down, he does everything to protect his friends.
>>284071617Only low IQ people don't like him.
>>284071617His aura is to strong it filters soulless non chunnis.
>>284071617>Why is he such a divisive character?He's not.
>>284071617Steins;Gate in general pretty much requires the viewer to have been a typical 2000's /a/non to like and understand it.2020's zoomers simply aren't the target audience at all.
>>284073141So he has no excuse for acting like an annoying retard.
>>284074875Yeah he does he's just a normal akibaotaku before the time travel events.Of course he acts like a retard, that doesn't mean he's not a genius too though. I feel like people who dislike the series don't even connect with the culture.
>>284071617he has quite the character. animeonly picking it up and watching will most likely be confused because he seems raving mad.
>>284071617People probably just don't understand the chunni trope in current year.
>>284071617I dropped the series because of the haremshit
>>284075363This
>>284071617At this point it's just a meme, no one actually hates Okabe.
>>284071617Is time leaping physically painful for Okabe? A VN reader told me he started convulsing on the floor screaming bloody murder his first time
He's hiding something. I just can't prove it yet
>>284071617Hes the best character in the series
>>284071617Steins;Gate is fantastic from the first episode and people who think it's "boring" are subhuman niggers.
>>284071617The idea of a chuunibyou who recognizes he's being chuuni is repugnant to some. They can't stand it when you break kayfabe, and Okabe doesn't hold himself too tightly to kayfabe.
>>284075363>haremshitThe only character romantically involved with okabe is kurisu,
>>284078774Just ignore anyone trying to use "haremshit" as an argument, he's just going to give you a long disingenuous spiel that ultimately encompasses any story of a guy with several girls in his proximity as qualifying.
>>284071617Some retards take themselves way too seriously and hate fun.>>284071871>>284071968>>284073087
>>284071617>People either think he's amazingi wouldn't call those retards "people"
>>284078965Nobody likes you so ..
>>284071617>People think he's absolute shit and drop S;G because of himDo they really? Kek.
>>284071617He created Houin Kyouma as a cope
>>284075363There is no haremshit, Kurisu is the canon wife, there is no perfect worldline where Kurisu doesn't exist
>>284071617Okabe should have ended up with Mayuri.
>>284079686Anyone of culture knows he ends up with both, a flower in each hand.
