10 Video Game Protagonists We Hated

8. Trevor - Grand Theft Auto 5

While some were charmed by Trevor’s batshit nature and likeness to the most unhinged of Grand Theft Auto players, some felt Rockstar went overboard with his characterisation and pushed him a little too far into unlikeable douche territory with Grand Theft Auto 5.

To be honest, many gamers call out various GTA protagonists for nabbing spots on their most hated protagonist lists but GTA 5's Trevor seems to be the most consistently controversial.

At his best, players called him generally unrelatable and not particularly likeable, while players who truly hated him cite his relentless rage and attitude as grating and borderline off-putting enough to put the game down entirely. While his unstable nature can be entertaining at times, some players took issue with his more mean-spirited scenes and how far the writing pushed his over-the-top antics and randomness.
