Why don't people like Kenny?
While lurking in the community i've seen more people saying they dont like Kenny.Personally I have no problem with him as a matter of fact he's one of my top 5 TWD characters.Now i'm no Team Kenny or anything,maybe team stache though.I just want to know why people like ex. Viva-La-Lee don't like him?

He's an asshole.
"You don't want to kill an old man in front of his distraught daughter? What kind of man are you? You deserve to die under a fucking door."
Yeah,i can see where your comin from with that,thats the reason hes' not in my top 3
What about when he flipped out on Nick and Luke? That was uncalled for, too. Or the time he said that I was not always there for Duck, when I definitely was. I hit "Go fuck yourself" in half a second
Theres a lot of kenny fans on this forum and if you dis kenny theyll give you a downvote!!!! I heard that if u get so many downvotes u get banned from the forum!
in my play through I side with Kenny with pretty much everything, and I still wasn't a fan of the character. he puts everything in one plan, and doesn't even want to listen of a backup plan. then when the plan doesn't work he lashes out and attacks whom-ever. he is really driven to his idea alone and if no one agree to them he just cause problems for everyone. the ideas that he had just make me feel sick, kill someone in front of the only family member they had left, let a person alone crying for help to distract the zombies, he tares other people relationships with your character, while all the time he expect you to listen to him. I am sick of siding to one side of the group. Please writers of the walking dead don't make Clementine to go thro type of choices again.
Banned ? I didn't know that !
Obviously not everyone is gonna like Kenny ! I would understand if this was another thread about Luke, but Kenny ? People kill each other if you say something against Kenny !
Oh yeah it happens, you gotta be careful what you post doesnt offend anyone.
But if you act like that, you don't post anything. (see I just got a dislike on the other comment and I didn't said nothing bad)
Really? Mostly everyone likes Kenny. I don't not like Kenny. After all... Kenny is love. Kenny is life.
Part of the reason I don't like him is because his fans on this forum can be rather annoying (not all of them, lot's are very nice and calm, as well as able to discuss), but there are some who spam him all over the place.
Even though I am a Kenny fan, most of his fans on this forum never offer a coherent argument as to why they actually like him, and many of their explanations of why consist of many many double standards (KENNY MURDERED THIS GUY TO DEFEND BNLARGH, THIS DOESN'T COUNT AS MURDER LIKE HER KILLING BLARGH).
Genuinely, the worst posts are those which are like 'Kenny has to survive until season 3 or I will boycott all of telltale's games', 'Kenny can't die; why would they bring him back to just kill him off?' or worst of all 'Kenny is indisbutably a great guy! It is not arguable, he just is! KENNY IS GOD!'
I mean, thinking that Kenny has done no wrong isn't just unfeasible, it's downright silly.
Anyway, mini-rant aside, there are lot's of reason I can see why some wouldn't like him.
He's very non-loyal, leaving Lee to die in many playthroughs and refusing to help rescue a little girl). If you do just one thing that he doesn't agree with, he can leave you to die. Like seriously, what the fuck. That is just not cool.
Also annoying is the favouritism Telltale seems to give him: He has been in as many episodes as Clementine, the most of any non-player character, and they brought him back when his character arc had a very satisfying end, whereas less-popular characters such as Lilly were just left out, despite having a lot of character growth left in them.
However, Telltale is commendable for allowing those who do not like him to say that they don't in episode 2: that was great.
I dont make the rules but thats just how it is. Uh oh someone downvoted ur post! Now ur nearer to a ban! Damn theres some harsh people on here who just do it for fun.
Kenny is a selfish, spiteful, inconsiderate, unsympathetic, hypocritical dick.
Whenever he perceives something to be a threat to him or his family, he will do whatever he thinks is necessary to remove that threat. When it's HIM or HIS family that pose a threat to others? Well, other people need to just get the fuck over it. He puts his family first, or acts like he does, but when it comes to it he neglects Katjaa and Duck while they need him most, when Duck is dying. He ignores what's happening in denial and leaves his wife to suffer alone because he's too wrapped up in his own emotional problems. He's a hypocrite. Kenny did what he did with Larry because he believed Larry posed a threat to others. Fine, I get it. But if you don't help Kenny in that moment, he decides to let you know just how much of a man he is, talking shit about how Lee doesn't "have the balls", and other crap like that. Like he's gloating that he did what he did. I am NOT ARGUING FOR OR AGAINST KILLING LARRY, just pointing out that he's a huge dickwad about the whole thing, regardless of whatever side you take. He didn't give a shit about the pain he caused Lilly, but I'm supposed to forgive all of his shit because he's having to go through pain now, too? No.
His rules apply to everybody BUT himself.
His attitude is just bullshit. You know that fight between Lilly and Kenny in the beginning of episode two? If you try to stay neutral, Kenny gives you shit for not picking a side. If you DO pick a side, but that side happens to be Lilly's side, he gives you shit for picking sides. That's the kind of person Kenny is. It's not about being rational or seeing things objectively, it's about having his back. If you aren't his friend, then you're his enemy. It doesn't matter if it doesn't make any goddamn sense, YOU DIDN'T HELP HIM, SO OBVIOUSLY YOU MUST HATE HIM. That kind of black and white thinking is stubborn childish bullshit.
Ugh. I could go on for a bit, but I should probably just... not. BRING ON THE HATE.
??? Never heard of getting banned from dislikes??? I call bullshit
No they don't.
Just because lots of fanatics on the forum like to state how Kenny is infallible and thus inhuman, doesn't mean that everyone who played the game likes him.
Edit: Putting dislike if you don't agreed is normal. Now, putting dislike for trolling ? That's really annoying.
I would be just fine with him dying, as long as he dies in Episode 5 by sacrificing himself for Clem
please do not reference that scarring video ;(
I love Kenny. Tied as my 3rd favorite character from S1 (Lee and Clem the first 2 obviously, tied with Molly). What I don't like is they brought him back for s2.
I forgot about the selfishness.
A man who says things like 'IT'S NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN' when asked if he would drop a saltlick on his wife or son's head is clearly only caught up in his own affairs, and changes his morals.
It also shows that he is extremely unempathetic, a characteristic that is one of the main reasons that I don't like Kenny as much as I could.
I dont know the exact number but you never get to find out how many dislikes u have just likes.
Do you have proof...?
That would be great if you're a Kenny fan, but what about the many others? For me I want his death to not at all be heroic.
After all, he's already had one heroic death, and sending him off to save ANOTHER person would show just how biased telltale are when planning out game content.
Considering Lilly and Kenny are pretty much the same person in different situations, I think it would be more interesting if he snapped and did something awful like Lilly did.
Do you think Molly will return and would you like it?
I heard someguy talk about it.
I'm kinda pissed that they brought him back. That scene where he sacrificed himself for Ben (or Christa) was really powerful and it really made me respect him more, buuuuuut then he reappears with a godlike beard and says I got lucky....
You made it ! That was the best test I saw saying all the truth in it. I'm not his fan but I don't hate him, but that text is really what he is !
I think ur only 2 more dislikes away from getting banned!! Omg
Really? '-' If I get banned, I create another account, simple as that.
Well I haven't known at least three people who dislike Kenny(I only know two)
But I said mostly everyone likes him. Maybe like 2/3 of the community?
LOL. I heard "someguy" talk about The Walking Dead game season 6 with Vernon as the main character
U cant do that, it knows ur ip address probably.
This guy
exactly, please someone kill him off. If Kenny stays around and force his ideas on Clem she will change to a really cold hearted person, goodbye to the clementine we know for good. enough is enough, everyone expects you to side with Kenny - but seriously is it really because of the beard, that's stupid, I don't know how he survive but his beard doesn't have powers.
Kenny just enjoys killing people why can't he come out and say that. He is really a redneck that forces his ideas on everyone he sees.
Erm, you won't get banned:). At least not because of the dislikes.
Because they're giant babies who get salty when they fuck up. Every decision Kenny makes is pretty much the most sensible one to make at the time, but since it doesn't fit into the preconceived paragon run some players have in their head they get mad when he's the one who calls them out on it.
Also there's the general discontent toward "rednecks" or abrasive alpha male characters who teased them when they grew up, etc. etc.
With any level headed thinking no, I don't believe she will be returning. Would I enjoy it? Yes, or at least I probably would.
If this is you trying to sucker me into admitting that bringing back a character from season one was a good idea then your attempts are misplaced.
Ah, but with regard to the first point, you are friends with people you get on well with, and people you get on well with would probably get on well with the same characters you do, and so that group isn't a good representation.
With regard to the second, perhaps 2/3 of those who talk about Kenny like him, but that's the case with most other characters. In terms of the community, there are loads of posts who have never given any opinion about him, and those who do are likely to be the ones saying that they like him a lot.
In addition, the players who join the forums are the most fanatic of the fanbase (most just play the games and don't discuss them), so it's likely that we get many people who Love love love Kenny, but few who think he is 'meh'.
Do you see?
lolwut? Ummmmm k?
Way to generalise and insult loads of people dude. Kudos.
