I can definitely see your point. I will add though, just because the character is written to be a monster, it doesn't necessarily mean- Actually, as I'm writing this, I feel I need to ask: do you (and everyone else who dislikes Emet) dislike him because you think he's a bad guy, or because you think he's just not well written? Because I feel I've had the wrong impression this whole time.

A character that always comes to mind in this context is Asahi. Asahi is written to be by far the most unlikeable and despicable person to ever exist, and yet I still love his character (in terms of how he's written) and the role he plays in the story.
