Higurashi When They Cry: Festival Accompanying Arc
| I am about to finish re-watching Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai & I was curious to see why people hated Satoko so much. I used to think she was kind of annoying (when I first watched it ten years ago), but I realize that she’s gone through way too much as an 11-year-old to be expected to not cry & break down; like who normally I think all of those things would break a normal personーunless you’re Rika & have or are level S like Keiichi. I would like to know all of you guys’ opinions because it baffles me how people can hate her. |

| I remember people not liking her as well. She never really bothered me. She had a terrible life so it was reasonable. The show name literally has "when they cry" in the title. What do you expect lmao |

What do you expect lmao (haha) RIGHT? It reminds me of when people think that the teenagers in Neon Genesis complain too much! |

| It’s because people are immature and lack empathy. Given all the terrible things she went through her reactions were reasonable, she even handled things really well. She was also quite smart and mature for her age, it’s a pity that’s she’s not popular. You mentioned Evangelion and it’s another perfect example. Honestly what did people expect from teenagers in those circumstances? Besides none of them had it easy before. |

| I didn't know people hated her o.0 During my viewing I actually liked her and felt so bad for her. |
| i was honestly so surprised to find out how hated she is by other viewers because she's always been my second favorite (next to rika). a lot of people complain about how all she does is cry and beg for her brother but i mean like... she's abused on a daily basis and has severe ptsd and she's only like 10 um im pretty sure i would be sad too :( |
| She is less popular compared to Rika or Rena of course. But the only people who hate her just don't know how to see from another person point of view, and messages from Higurashi like child abuse and traumatic experiences just failed to reach them. |

| Yeah, I agree. After knowing what Satoko experienced in her life, no one should hate her! And of course there's no need to hate her. |
| her voice is very annoying. Her character design is also pretty lame. |
 |
| I revisited this thread since it's in her arc right now for the 2020 higurashi and I still have never disliked her. A lot of people call her annoying but I feel like that's part of her personality and I just accept it. |
 |
| I didn't think she was that great of a character(I certainly didn't hate her, but I liked Rika more) until I read the VN. My god she instantly became one of my favorite characters. Unfortunately, the OG anime cut out a lot of her backstory. |
 |
| i absolutely hate her voice, she's really one of the only moe characters i've ever heard that sounds like a 40 year old woman straining herself to sound young |
