Deadbringer, I'm not sure if I'm reading your post right, but it comes across as you being upset with me for not liking the shows you like, in which case, uh, I'm sorry? Calling me ignorant isn't going to make me warm to your opinions though, in fact though I agree that everyone has a right to opinion, and there is a right to reply to those opinions, if you feel I'm "ignorant" just because I'm not following a reference you made in passing to another show, I feel like I'm within my rights to disregard your opinion because not only does this come across as rude, but you are also not explaining your point, and then acting upset when I don't share the same points of reference as you. I'm not going to go away and watch Ex-Aid or read Marvel comics just to have a conversation with you about Ryuki.

I am aware of the concept of a "everyman" protagonist in literature, I simply don't care for it within the context of this story. Also, I'm not sure where you got this opinion about my only liking "toxic" characters, literally we were just talking about how one of the main reasons I disliked Ryuki was that there are no Kamen Riders in a traditional sense in it.

I'm sorry you seem upset that I don't like Ryuki, and that I don't like Shinji as a protagonist, but this is not going to change this simply because it makes you unhappy.
