Excuse me? What?
Is this really a thing? I must be out of the loop or something... Can you please explain?
The thread itself make it clear with all the reply here. People think that being kind make you a static character with no flaw even though that's not necessary the case at all.

What's wrong with it are two things:

Its hard to relate to. Although not impossible.

More importantly its boring. I tire of the
naive, good natured and idealistic mc. That thinks, if everyone tries we all can get along. Being incorruptible, holding true to his own ideals about what's right and what's not. And forcing everyone who thinks differently to change.

So, in other words, the MC being "kind" will get them stuck into a typecast?

That's what most of people think from this thread at least.

Becoming a good person doesn't make one a bad character. But a bad writing does. Like when a character is written to only have goodness in them...and nothing else... And you could also say the same thing about villains or bad people, if the only thing they have for themselves is being bad... with no reason... they're just bad...then are they not a bad character?

There's nothing wrong with helping people in need, or being friendly, forgiving others, not killing anyone, etc... What's wrong is when that same person only ever shown kindness and not much else. They never felt hurt, they never did anything bad, not even once in their life, they're basically have no flaws and just kind...and nothing else...this kind of thing makes a character bad... Imho.

Nothing, only edgelords hate kind characters and think killing someone is an easy thing.
And there are a quit a lot of edgelords around in the anime community.

I feel kindness is vastly underrated in anime...though it is best to give a character good AND bad traits because they should still be a person. And people are not perfect beings.

But being TOO kind can have its faults (people like to ignore this) because then others can take advantage of the character.

^ this.
But I like it when the "others can take adventage over them" over them isn't portrayed as something inherently good.

That's 100% false, being a good person doesn't dictate anything about a character, you can be a good person and a good character, for example thors from vinland saga, is a FUCKING AMAZING CHARACTER by all mergers, if you have watched vinland saga you would agree with me.
