The Devil&#039;s Advocate WP wrote: I don't think it has anything to do with negative traits. '''All of the characters have negative traits. Weiss seems to be the only one who incites this level of hostility.''' Given that the only objectionable things she's done have basically involved yelling at people after they did or said something that would upset any normal person it just looks like people want an excuse to hate her character. That was tolerable yet annoying when it was things like Ruby knocking over her cases of Dust, but it has now moved into the realm of trying to justify parental abuse.

Part of the reason is that most of the people realize their faults and actively work past them, whereas general bitchiness is harder to work past. As for people who activly receive flak and hatred from the fandom:


 * Blake, especially lately given her overt Grumpy Cat-ness


 * Jaune, because he's an idiot is most respects and even now lacks respect for growth


 * Ren for being a typical anime protagonist and having a totally edgy childhood story abotu how his parents died and shit


 * SSSN for being total idiots


 * All the Schnees aside from Weiss for being complete pricks in most interactions (thereby meaning that Weiss would've grown up with it and never known anything different, which still doesn't make it right but certainly explains it.)


 * Cinder's Crew for being such evil and cruel people as they are


 * Tyrian for being an absolute creep


 * Ironwood for his views in general

The list could go on.
