Yes, Mineta’s a subpar character, is a total joke, and is not relevant to the plot. But for a comic relief character, he’s widely hated. Why does he warrant so much hate when there are bigger and far worse offenders (in terms of pervertedness) in anime such as Meliodas?

haha welp its too late now

To the topic:
Unfortunately there are some serious people who do not find characters like Mineta funny.
Since that is the case, he is found to be only annoying to them.

I'd prefer Meliodas to that little creepy kid any day....

I don't mind a perverted character clearly since Meliodas is in my favorites, there's just something about Mineta I don't like for whatever reason.

Mineta and Melodias are both shit characters but I agree Melodias is far trashier since he's a mary sue who gets away with his horseshit antics while Mineta is simply a joke character.

Also perverted characters stopped being funny over a decade ago. It's always the same shit and is so fucking stale at this point. Its a sign of a creatively stunted writer.

Long story short, I have no reason to root for a chump whose only notable actions are attempts to sexually harass his classmates. Even guys like Miroku from Inuyasha and Master Roshi from Dragonball were at least generally heroic people who had personalities and motivations beyond the gross shit they pulled. Mineta is just an excuse to shove titty on screen against the wishes of the people said titty belongs to.

Because usually, comic relief characters have at least one redeeming quality. Mineta is simply annoying. Everything about him, from his design to personality, ability, actions, and pervy attitude is made to piss you off. HE just doesn't work as a good character. He has no real role in the story either... With him or without him the story would go the same way. Where in most of other anime, the comic relief character is an important part of the cast, who influence the story... in both subplots and main plot. Team Rocket from Pokemon, for example, is a comic relief trio, but is also one of the main antagonists, Sunohara from Clannad is also a comic relief character, but he plays crucial roles in two arcs at least, one being his own. Yogi from FMA Brotherhood is a comic relief character but once again plays important roles in the events of the anime. And so on. Mineta has no redeeming quality. Even if there are some growth and development, he is simply so annoying that it doesn't work.

Because the natural urges of male teenagers are frowned upon in this post-feminist movement even to the point that fictional characters that are a reflection of the reality that these teenagers exist are hated by society to discourage creation of simular characters and to further demonize the real-life equivalent which leads to men believing that because they like the female form and them wanting to reproduce with the females who have said features they are doing something immoral causing them to no longer produce offspring alltogether or produce offspring with not suitable mates lowering the chances of survival for the newborns both of which lower birthrates and will most likely if continued over a long period of time lead to the destruction of our modern western society in itself as it's populace will no longer have the numbers to sustain this society or will simply be dwarfed by other societies that dont discourage the mating ritual of it's male members so it would be wise for us who have realised the destructive nature of disapproving of characters like Minata to instead champion him and by doing this fight back against our current destructive societal norms.

I love mineta. In this PC era where everything is rape i like mineta pissing people off. Also, at least mineta gets punished and people in the story treat him like a pervert while meliodis never gets punished for the sexual harassment and people ignore his actions. In, addition, if it was not for mineta i would not get fanservice from the girls and i love me some ashido.

No one's saying you can't have those urges. Just keep that shit to yourself unless you're actually in a relationship with someone where they are comfortable with you indulging in those types of behaviors with them. Otherwise, it's seriously creepy and makes people extremely uncomfortable. Don't go justifying your disgusting actions just because it brings you pleasure. That's selfishly decadent.

I mean if you find Mineta scenes funny I can´t really say you are wrong cause taste and shit.
MHA is not a slow paced show, Monster it´s slow paced show, Blood+ it´s slow paced show, heck even Soukyou no Fafner it´s a slow paced show, but MHA? MHA is fast paced show.

Like you said he's a comic relief character, but he's not funny. He fails at the one job he has. And tbh he's pretty useless since there's comedy scenes involving the other characters anyways, which are a million times better than anything with Mineta.

Man that guy( RandomPerson4) typed a lot. I could see the cosmos has i read it. Anyway, calm down. He is saying mineta acts as a character to escape into and live one's perversions. Perversions that are indeed common to male and females, yep those two only genders. People do over-react to this character as the character was intended for teenage boys to relate there perversions since it is well a SHOUNEN, it is meant for horny teens. Not that horny adults can't also enjoy god's gift known as Momo. IT IS FICTION AFTER ALL. The mangaka said it himself that he made mineta because like him he is "a little dirty sometimes," his exact translated words. It is a fantasy, a work of fiction so people should calm down.

The series is slow paced. The individual arcs are fast but overall it takes quite some time to get from a to b. Three seasons for MC to master 8% OFA.

Well, he's a perverted character who, understandably, can be seen as annoying. I don't really think Mineta's annoying, nor do I dislike him, but I don't like how he's always so perverted. Also, his quirk is pretty lame. It could come in handy in some cases but there are quirks way better than his.

meliodas is cool, a strong fighter, gets shit done, jacked (basically a chad if he wasnt short)

mineta is weird looking, wimpy, ugly, has an irritating voice, and very short, basically no good personality traits (i dont even mind him or get bothered by him, he has like 0-2 lines per episode usually, this is just the way he is)

a lot of the time it doesnt matter what's being said/done as much as the person saying/doing it, this applies to real life as well

That's the cringest "comic relief" I have ever seen. A character flirting with girls? Yeah, okay.
Being a sexual offender in training? Hahaha how FUNNY.
At least nobody there actually likes this piece of trash.

You could argue that he should show that heroes aren't always decent people, but he actually just is a comic relief and trash.
Besides taking the joke to a creepy extreme, he is incompetent af and has no personality.

Seriously anyone, who thinks this is normal behavior, which is just discrimimated against, because "mimimi evil feminism" ... please stay away from everyone....

Jop, Miroku is a character with more personality (character-wise and competence-wise) behind that.
Also he has been annoying sometimes, because it was too much, but he actually cared about Sango. Still, that running gag got very annoying and creepy sometimes too.
I couldn't bring myself to dislike Miroku. Besides having a running gag that's played too often, I actually like him.

I think Momonosuke from One Piece is a pretty decent comparison to Mineta, going by the comments here, they're short, ugly, perverted.. but!

Momonosuke perverse is not his entire character. He's not written in the story to be the comedic relief, or the joke of the series. He has a role to play in the story, and he's coming to understand his role and the importance of his heritage as the series goes along, he's growing as a character and his perverse is only there occasionally for jokes.

Where as Mineta has no role to play in the story, doesn't have a defining character outside of his perverted nature, he's literally just there for the joke. And the worst thing? He's got at least 7 years on Momonosuke but somehow is less mature and a lot more hollow characterization wise.

They're both side/supporting characters in respective series. Most people who like Mineta only like him not because of who he is, but because of how he's being treated by the community, got nothing to do with his character or anything like that.

Developing a power through out the show doesn´t make the show slow pace, a good example of this is Hajime no Ippo which is a fast pace show, but the progression of the abilitys in the main character are slow. MHA is a Action, Battle, Shounen and a fast paced show, I repeat a slow paced show is something like Monster, Monogatari, Blood+, Mushishi.

I don't like Mineta. Like at all. I think he's just a waste of space in MHA and his "humor" is stale.

Ignoring that, Kaminari is a much better example of a perverted comic-relief character in MHA because his perversion isn't his defining characteristic. He has goals, aspirations, a personality, and a general respect for the rest of his classmates. Yeah, the cheerleader trick wasn't his best moment, but nowhere else does it appear he's intentionally trying to make the girls uncomfortable.

The pinnacle of Mineta's hero aspiration is for girls to like him. Beyond being a shallow character, he's very flat. He could be removed from the series, and nothing would change. That's very bad. His character design is unattractive and his power is lame, which I'm sure also factors into it.

That being said, I don't think he deserves as much hate as Myne, Shou Tucker, or Griffith, but it's understandable why people don't like him.

(I also don't recall Kaminari scaling a wall with his power to attempt to spy on the girls' bath, but I digress!)

Perverted characters can be great like Muttsulini from Baka and Test for example, but Mineta doesn't do it in a new or creative way which makes it seem forced. He does have a few good moments during the Joint Training arc so I wouldn't say he's a wasted character, but his comedic relief moments are usually not very funny.
