Character Bashing

eastofthemoonI have never liked character bashing, and thinking on this I have one question:
Why does character bashing exist? I mean, what's the point in it! No matter how many times a person writes "I wish..... would die!" that character is not going to disappear anytime soon. Now, I know that everyone will not love or even like every single character that appears in an anime/movie/book etc... That would be impossible. I know that I don't like every single character, but that doesn't mean I have to go around and keep muttering how much I hate that character and make a top ten list about how to kill him/her.
It just wastes energy! And besides, these characters aren't even real! So seriously, what's the point? If I don't like a character, I just accept it and move on. I find it makes the story far more enjoyable than waiting and wishing for a piano to suddenly drop and fall on the character.
(sigh) Well, I feel better, I just needed to get that off my chest. I've been seeing a little too much character bashing lately.
