So, I discovered on my RSS feed a new challenge. No, it won’t be another 30 day challenge but it’s just a quick one where you list your favorite character and give three reasons why you would hate them. I thought this would be a lot of fun because my favorite character is Joffrey and it really is very hard to like him but I do so here are three reasons why I would hate him.

1) He really undermines women. Like, a lot. He thinks they are stupid and don’t have any original thoughts that are worth anything. It’s a bit of a turn off.

2) He is such a mama’s boy! Oh my gosh, this bugs me so much! I like to assume that he has original thoughts that don’t result in physical harm but I think he is easily influenced by his mother so much that he does whatever she says but then calls her stupid later (see reason #1)

3) He really is over confident because he is the king. He thinks because he is the king, no one can hurt him or say rude things to him. First off, no. It doesn’t work like that. As a king, you have to do things to earn the people’s respect and he doesn’t do that very much. This airy over-confidence set him up for failure and led to his ultimate demise.

I still think he is a very amusing character regardless of his flaws. I empathize with the villain in almost anything so I will probably always like him. I also take everything he does and says with a grain a salt because he really is just a big talker and that’s it. Haha.

Oh, and here is a link to the forum where I found this. You can check out everyone else’s favorite characters and their reasons. What about yours? Who’s your favorite character and what makes you hate them?
