(Hated Trope) characters that are so wildly misinterpreted by fans that it makes me feel violent

1: denji from chainsaw man. this is a teenager who is a victim of toxic masculinity and thinks being a pervert is normal and cool. he is sexually assaulted and groomed multiple times throughout the series and has no idea because that's what he thinks a normal relationship is.

2: toshiro from dungeon meshi. he is not an asshole to laios for no reason. he is actively JEALOUS that laios can be himself and doesn't have to adhere to strict social norms that would ostracize him in the east. toshiro grew up with these norms and desperately wishes he could have grown up like laios and falin instead. he and laios come to an understanding on this, and all is well between them. also, on laios's part with the "shuro" thing, my man's got some kinda auditory processing issue, and the way toshiro is pronounced with a western accent (to-SHI-ro) could totally lead to this blunder.

3: the punisher. HE FUCKING HATES COPS. at least it makes it funny to see the logo with the thin blue line superimposed onto it...

4: vash from trigun. i found out that some people think he'd be vegan in a modern setting and that pisses me off so much i put him on this list.
