Your Three Fictional Characters?

[Antonio the Sixth]

I'm far too uninteresting to be able to identify with any character, which, by design, has to be interesting.

Cersei Lannister (not incest though)

This is the scariest post I have seen in a long time.

Incest isn't even close to being the worst thing about Cersei Lannister.

It's sad how you fail to understand this character, she's not an evil monster as you think she is.

Actually, the fact that she's not a complete monster the way Joffrey and Ramsay obviously were makes her a lot more horrifying to me.

Have we been watching the same show?

Well, yes?

Please tell me what exactly do you dislike about her?

All right.

The main thing that makes Cersei so uniquely vile and despicable is not really what she does (she does horrible things, sure, but the same could be said of many characters, and she's not quite the worst in that metric), but why and how she does it. She never does anything out altruistic concerns (her "concern" for her children is extremely possessive and therefore fundamentally selfish), or because she's advancing the greatness or anything she believes in, or out of pragmatic self-interest, or even because she's "just evil" like the two previously mentioned. Rather, she just gives in to all the darkest, most evil human instincts: spite, paranoia, pride, envy, cruelty, possessiveness. She's a slave to her emotions, and the emotions she usually feels are the ones a good person should never give in to. This leads her not only to hurt people around her, including people who meant no harm to her whatsoever, but also, very often, to hurt herself. And since she's so prideful and unable to ever question herself, she ends up blaming others for her self-inflicted damage.

tl;dr she's a spiteful, paranoid, self-righteous sadist.

That's such a weak defense. Almost half major GoT characters have been treated like sh*t at some point or another, and some of them have had it far worse than Cersei. Sure, you can definitely empathize with what she's gone through and understand why this has led them to do what she does, but that doesn't excuse it. If explaining and excusing were the same thing, then this mean you can excuse anyone for anything.

And no, she's not just "trying to survive". That's just bullsh*t. She's had plenty of occasions to secure her position all the while not doing harm, and instead she always chose the option that hurt the most people even when that wasn't the best option for her or her children's interests. Margaery wanted influence, sure, but she wasn't an enemy until Cersei deliberately made an enemy of her. The Starks, meanwhile, are actually trying to survive and are doing so without doing horrible things (at least not as often and not so gratuitously... I'm not excusing all they did but that's beside the point). I guess that makes them "useless".
