A pervert main character that fight for sex, lust, cop a feel, or even just thinking about the girl boobs. some of the character like Takeru Ooyama (Maken ki), Miyamae, Kanako (maria holic), and my personal favorite, issei hyoudou (Highschool DxD). i like these kind of character because they are different than the other typical main character("i fight for my friends", "i need a reason to keep going forward") their goal is strive by ero, which is interesting and wondering if they can do it. aka #isseihyoudouharemking. there are some mina character that are really strong and fight for sex as well! =D going through youtube comments and MAL, most of the people dislike these character, even they want to change their personality. why is that?

It's their personal taste and it could possibly make them look like bad people.

They feel mature by hating on anything to do with ecchi.

Usually those characters are just mary sues in shitty wish fulfillment shows, so having them drooling over babes is condescending, it talks down to the audience. "WOW, LOOK AT HOW HOT YOU THINK THESE BOOBS ARE!"

It seems like being perverted is synonymous with "no self control or respect for other people's rights" as the vast majority of these characters tend to act on their perversions in inappropriate ways, such as groping characters without their consent.

And as much as beat-downs for such actions are deserved, they're not funny the thousandth time they happen, especially when the character doesn't learn from it.

Still, it's a thousand times better than the character who isn't perverted but ends up in accidents that get them undeserved punishment for it.

Very true. But I must agree that it's preference tho.

Personally, I don't like them not only because of how disgustingly creepy they are, but because they don't have much of a character development yet they end up strong at the times of need. Just like how cliche main characters become strong for friendship (and I love that). And BECAUSE ALL GIRLS END UP FALLING IN LOVE WITH THEM. I'm gay, but it pisses me off. It makes all girls seem dirty.

Because 1-dimensional socially-inept annoying retards aren't fun to watch.

What it is really, is a writer trying to predict what the audience is thinking, and then instead of having the main character be an actual character, you know, like with any worth or contribution to the story, they make the main character a "voice" for what they think people watching the show are thinking. He's literally a window. Just a plot device to let the events of the story happen.

LE OMG DAE LE BOOBS???????? is not a good idea to include when writing a character's personality. And when it's the only thing the writers put effort into defining his character, it's insulting and unbearable.

Read Onani Master Kurosawa for a "perverted" character who's not annoying and insufferable. Everybody is a little bit perverted. But you have to include like, actual personality traits when writing a character. Things actual people have.

Being able to relate to the main character is very critical for some people's enjoyment of anime.

In my case, if the main character is too unrelatable on too many occasions and/or in general, it can drive me into dropping the entire show in extreme cases, even if the overall quality of the show is objectively decent.

A couple key examples are Oreimo, Magi... and possibly Hunter x Hunter at this rate, if it doesn't get more appealing soon.

This here is true. Most perverted characters only have one trait making them boring and one dimensional.

I think it's all about the delivery. Often times it feels too contrived, and doesn't have a good flow to it. Gintama's cast do a good job of it for me, though, like Gintoki, Kondo, or Sa-chan.

This as well as the fact that people seem to dislike whatever they dislike. Simple as that. If they don't enjoy it then they'll dislike it and not associate with it, which most people wouldn't like unwelcome "perverted actions" to be done to them.

Well, in my opinion, some are annoying not just because of themselves, but because of the reaction of the other characters. Take Hagure Yuusha. None of Akatsuki's perverted moments are treated like funny moments, and pretty much nobody condones them. They just can't stop him from doing it. And that's great.

It's a pretty easy question to answer. Perverts are generally seen as bad/disgusting people. I personally don't really mind them in anime, but in most cases it's a trait I really could do without. It's kind of hard to root for a character when he/she is constantly embarrassing/humiliating characters of the opposite sex.

this:
because they are pervert yet they are liked? what logic is that?

i am guy myself, but how the people around the pervert bug me more than the pervert mc it self. so yes, tomoki and his cheap carbon copy can go fuck their self. i would take raku, yuki rito, and other generic mc anytime over than this.

Simply put it gets old really fast, City Hunter pulled it off somehow,but then again the main character was more like a Johnny Bravo womanizer that actually made moves on women,not a high school dweeb that only thinks of boobs all day and doesn't do anything else...

Only if they dont think and act for themselfs tho. Red keys was reffering to cases when character tries to speaks for viewer instead.

It would be ridiculous to say that you cant have perverted thoughts without being plot device instead of character.

Juvia, is probably one of the biggest creepers in the anime world. I personally like her, but she is probably the queen of creepers. You think a character like Rias Gremory, who is strong, confident, and secure, makes women look worse than Juvia?

Quite so.

One of the best "cool" traits is self-control. Perverted characters in anime often totally lack it, and let their genitals do all the thinking. That's totally uncool.
Perverted characters who do have self-control are quite likeable.

No, not really. For any person, his/her own character is really well-written and complex. It's just that other people don't get to see it (they often get to see only the person's one-dimensional "facade").
I don't think anybody perceives him/herself as "annoying", too. They see their behavior as their "social skills".

Yes I won't deny that she's a creep. But she actually does have GREAT character development and many more traits that cover her creep side. I don't hate Rias whatsoever. If anything, I liked how strong she was, I just wouldn't have wanted her to fall in love with a creep like Issei because he covers up her potential and makes her look weak. How he fights FOR her??? No she taught him everything he knows yet he gets all credits for being strong and loved. It doesn't make sense to me.
