@Shadao: Depending on interpretation, Finn wasn\'t dying to save people he loved, but to \"make [the FO] hurt\". Nor do we know if his sacrifice would actually have worked--Poe certainly didn\'t seem to think it would, or he wouldn\'t have called off the attack. Additionally, the film\'s message wasn\'t that Poe should be an obedient dog, but that he should \'\'learn to be a leader\'\' and stop chasing heroism for the sake of it.
But that\'s a debate best left for another time. To return to the topic at hand: the very definition of BaseBreakingCharacter is that there are swathes of fandom that rush to hate and defend the same character; that simply bringing them up is inviting argument. Also, you claim that if the detractors \"truly hate those characters for their actions and personality\", that automatically makes a character TheScrappy. So...what about when their fans truly LOVE them for their actions and personality? You\'ve given reasons why Rose and Holdo are hated; I\'ve given reasons why they\'re loved. And people hotly debate about them. That\'s textbook BaseBreakingCharacter.
Then that\'s a fault of the pages--Ahsoka STOPPED being TheScrappy after the first two seasons, actually, and is now pretty beloved, as that very entry acknowledges. A trope being misused once doesn\'t mean we should continue to do so.
