I feel like some people aren't aware that these are in fact the bad guys? Sure, a few of them started off fine, but they do objectively terrible things.
Thats one of the things I find interesting about shows like "breaking bad" or "you." You watch them and start sympathizing with the character (admittedly in breaking bad Walter White didn't start out particularly bad) and thinking things like "of COURSE you have to get rid of the body/kill that person/lie to that person"!" Or "I hope the police don't catch them!"

Every once in awhile you have to break the immersion to remind yourself that no, no, no wait - this isn't the good guy. What he's doing right now is terrible and You shouldn't actually be rooting for him

Oh don't even get me started on these assholes that make Walter White their profile pictures and shit.
If that's your favorite character that's fine, he's a great character, but goddamn you should NOT idolize that man.
These are characters that all the edgelords self identify with whilst remaining completely oblivious to the facts that if you're self identifying with these characters you should probably see a psychiatrist. But instead the wonder why nobody likes them.
Lol the poor actor that plays Joe often offers commentary on fans trying to romanticize the character by pointing out little things like 'okay, maybe Joe is hot, but he's also a murderer, a psychopath, and you really should find him alarming, not attractive'
Rorschach has an incredibly distorted view of the world. He sees women simply walking down the street as whores to be used/abused. To him, every single person other than himself is an incompetent flea with no human intelligence or value. Also, he's a bean thief.
xdmaniac early in watchmen Rorschach breaks into another character's apartment and eats a can full of beans before the guy gets home. He also steals the guy's stash of sugar cubes.
The post doesn’t say that them being your favorite character is a bad thing. The post specifically says that **idolizing** them is a bad thing. If you can’t tell the difference then maaaaaybe what you’re doing is idolizing. Or maybe none of this matters because this is a meme site on the internet and who cares.

(i do know it's from American Psycho)
He’s a murderer but okay. The character is great but he’s not sympathetic.
