i like him, very complex and different. people dislike him as hes not.lile clementine and doesnt have that social and emotional development like clem had. makes it hard to develop that bond
To be fair, that's really not too far off from how some trends in the past tended towards.
There were seriously people who wanted to give the likes of Season2!Kenny, Andy, Carver, Jane, and David plenty of chances, but dragged their feet in giving characters like [pleasant example], Luke, Sarah, Kate, and (initially)Eleanor the time of day.
the same people that hate AJ and want him dead are the same that see Marlon as redeemable after killing Tenn's sister's. i'm sure race has nothing to do with that. lmao.
I also don't give a fuck about AJ because his character never developed. I mean in s2 and s3 he was just a little baby, we didn't see him mu… morech and he was the son of parents we never really cared about. This is one thing btw I would agree with PewDiePie which is that Telltale introduces too many characters and kills off too many. Now that you think about it, you realize Clementine is the only one you would really care after 3 seasons, and having to start from zero all the time and having to develop the "care" for characters is annoying and you could then easily find yourself in the position that you don't care about a character's death.
Honestly, I don't get the AJ hate though? Like... imagine the world he's grown up in. Probably any people he's run into have been hostile, and he's known these new people for, what, a day? Two days? One of them pulls a gun on Clementine, who he's known for years, who's had his back and protected him, he wasn't going to do the same? I get that Marlon put down the gun and surrendered and all (at which point I would have accepted it and like... not killed him), but I get the feeling that AJ was just doing what he thought was right to protect Clementine. Like, who's to say Marlon wouldn't do something like that again? I liked him, but he was clearly not the most stable guy around. He was willing to give some people up to protect others and then lie about it, and then kill others to protect his secret (and lie about that). Both Marlon and AJ were kids who grew up in harsh conditions, and they both acted realistically and the way they probably felt they had to.
It's really unclear the 'world that AJ's grown up in'. The narration said that Clementine found him again after she'd pretty much given up hope. There's brief mention of a bloody ranch, and AJ has zero aversion towards people when you reach the train yard. He mentions they never find anyone alive, and states that he wants to A: have a home and B: be around people. You have the option as Clementine of telling him to be careful what he wishes for. This would strongly imply he wasn't mistreated at the ranch or he'd be more along the lines of saying the zombies weren't the only monsters, or there are worse monsters.
We're told he's been a holy terror while we've been recovering. We're shown a bite as we enter the music room. We find him almost cheerfully listening to Louis play piano. It's such a strange contradiction in appearances, but we know that he's been treated amazing. In spite of this 'holy terror who goes around assaulting other children' thing, AJ is utterly unharmed. Not a mark on him. He's not confined at all. You'd think you'd want someone like that locked up for their own safety and the safety of others.
The odd thing I have trouble processing about this AJ is that if he's as the writing states accustomed to a world with more monsters than people, why would his reactions to being come up behind be biting and crotch shots? Are these super secret zombie killing techniques that have evaded Walking Dead lore? Because a true instinct would be effective zombie evasion maneuvers, like ducking out of a grasp, struggling free, ect.

On the note of AJ acting out and getting straight up hostile when Clementine is unaccounted for, as well as maybe his few instances of possessiveness, that was a thing in ANF's backstory as well.
At least the nutshot is a decent way of stunning and/or backing off .
The bite was probably more of a instinctive or improvised thing, as children will indeed resort to that if they feel the need/urge to.

I'm leaning toward giving them the benefit of the doubt that it was bandits or raiders that took out his family on the farm, and that's where his issues from being approached from behind stem from as well as what ultimately leads him to shooting Marlon ( as it was stated that he and Clem hadn't run into any people, and he hadn't picked up on killing bad people from anything Clem would've taught that we know of. ).
More or less simply stating that given the information we have playing Ep1, it's just such an odd choice of methods that AJ has as instincts.

They don't see Clem as black the way they see AJ as black, because clem is light skinned and AJ is not. If Clem was darker skin the way she was supposed to be they would hate her too.
I like AJ's and Clementine's dynamic a lot because it's pretty interesting. What is Clementine to AJ? A big sister, sure, but also a mother figure despite how young she is. And the same goes for Clem, I think. Even though I never really had a deep connection to Rebecca or Alvin, and I don't think Clementine did either, she has made it her mission to protect AJ as best as she can, and it's kind of gone over to me. I don't hate AJ at all, in fact I want to see him grow up to become as strong as Clem. His behavior makes sense in context. Yes, AJ's a little shit sometimes, but that's because he had to be in order to survive. He genuinely thinks that Tenn's toy belongs to him because he took it for himself, because that's how he was raised by necessity. And that sort of behavior was very useful out on the street. It's now up to us to transform him into a viable member of society, and I find that concept great.
Maybe going off the deep end here, but on a metaphorical level I like AJ because he represents hope. For Clementine, but also for humanity in general. The fact that he's still alive is a miracle on its own and shows that humanity is slowly, but surely getting back on its feet. The walkers are still a threat, but they're more of a nuissance now if they're in smaller groups.

i think lee is the only character in the walking dead so far who has no haters well as much as i saw so far i never seen someone hate on him not in this community or in any other community.

To be fair, Lee had his failings in the past, was the character we experienced Season 1 with and through, generally found himself mulling over why humankind does the things it does and why the world goes the way it does, and eventually died after looking after Clementine & teaching her how to survive.
There's no real reason to really look back on him and pick apart his few flaws as being serious problems or say, "What an asshole!"

Ironically, I'd say he probably has more to him than she did way back when.

It can also vary out/bleed over to losing interest in Clementine herself and/or the games in general.

He's ok when it's just him and Clementine, but when he's around groups or people, he becomes more unlikable and difficult to deal with.

That's just stupid. Grow up
Lee had dark skin, didn’t see anyone hate him
i think lee is the only character in the walking dead so far who has no haters well as much as i saw so far i never seen someone hate on him not in this community or in any other community.
Yeah, i've never seen any hate towards him
To be fair, Lee had his failings in the past, was the character we experienced Season 1 with and through, generally found himself mulling over why humankind does the things it does and why the world goes the way it does, and eventually died after looking after Clementine & teaching her how to survive.

Lee dead, no need to hate him anymore. If he was still alive Lee would get hate too.
