Hateable, but relatable, yes.
Or, hatable but likable.
Sorry to spam Breaking Bad clips, but it's a shining example of "characters that you love to hate."
Gus Fring
, easily one of the most cruel, brutal, manipulative characters, and easily one of the best characters on the show due to the complexity of his situation, and his conflict with Walter White, the protagonist.

Alternatively, Blake remind Adam of a deceased sister, and Adam's turned into a Knight Templar Big Brother. Who hates humanity because a human killed his sister.

Actually, Adam was confirmed to be abusive to Blake in the past, and his comments when he's introduced in Volume 3 are VEEEEEEEEERY Yandere sounding. While he may not be a rapist currently, he acts like one
"I'm hoping for Adam to be utterly iredeemable yet you understand why he is that way"
I tihnk they are going that way with Cinder, both Adam? as Ninety said, in the moment he interact with Blake he become this weird and creepy guy who act like scorn ex boyfriend, the kind of chararter you wish the female protagonist beat to bloody plup(the fact he is badass enought to one shot Yang is why he is my favorite) and Miles and Kerry said he is actually worst and before Blake deflect.
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"So it's redundant to say he should be a Racist.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.![]()
There is a tendecy nowday to use rapist as catch all for awfull behivor.
But yeah, Adam is more a abusive and controling Ex boyfriend, hell he even use the whole "Why did hurt me" cliche line, if bumblebee is declared canon I almost fear Adam will be reduce to the "ex yanderw who dosent want Blake to be happy" which is bording into Fan fic territory
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"On the other hand.One only needs to look the Naruto manga to see the results of trying too hard to redeem characters who clearly past the Moral Event Horizon.Sometimes its just better to let bad guys be bad guys

Should the minions be redeemed? Even though this is more obvious.
Not Adam or Flame lady. They've done too much bad.

Praise be to the absolute Queen
(3) Funny, I was about to bring that up.
I used to think the villains in Naruto were the problem. In hindsight, I think it was that a 14-year old with barely any life experience was able to constantly talk down and reform several antagonistic figures, who'd spent most of their lives plotting revenge and such.
I agree there's an opposite extreme, but I still want more from Torchwick and Adam than abusive jerkassery.
And when was this?

"On the other hand.One only needs to look the Naruto manga to see the results of trying too hard to redeem characters who clearly past the Moral Event Horizon.Sometimes its just better to let bad guys be bad guys "
And yet, aside of Sasuke(who is less evil that just unlikable) and Orochimaru(who got away with his shit) and maybe Kabuto, everyone evil dies so is not SO bad, the real problem is that Naruto end breaking almost every single damn aseop have been preaching from the start.
"Did they clarify what type of abuse? Not saying it would be better, but context of their past relationship would change accordingly. "
Well in the brief moment, he slap Blake, he sound controling and make a vow to harm everything she love and maim her hand and end with Blake almost being decapited(Unless he know she was a clone which make sense) he come across as that abusive boyfriend who follow to harm someone else live
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"Yeah, but we already knew there was more to Adam than just...what you said.
It's not like all he's doing is just for Black, he's doing it for all the racist Faunus victims.

Did I just make Adam into Magneto?

No he will be a complex creepy rapist that you should hate
Is it possible to create a character who is hatable yet complex?
