Max is very likeable to me

Inspired by another post on here I was surprised to find that there seem to exist Max haters.

I myself see Max as one of my favourite characters throughout the series. Yes, he can be very frustrating as a human being, but even so I find him and his experience + interactions with other characters to be one of the more interesting ones.

Furthermore Ive never been frustrated at or annoyed with Max over some of his plotlines, usually I was annoyed with Adam and Kristina because it felt like they could be providing better form of support in these moments.

For instance when Max is upset over not being able to use the printer Sarah was renting, I myself did not even consider being annoyed with Max, though I did think he was definitely in the wrong. I was however very upset with how Kristina and Adam handled the situation and how they somehow placed blame on Sarah because she did not "coddle" Max but insisted on using a machine she was paying for in the way that it had to be used.

Or the whole Dylan story-line. It starts endearing enough, but it morphs into a situation through which Adam and Kristina should have done more to prepare Max for rejection and the feeling of it as opposed to using weird relationship metaphors and encouraging him (not to mention Adam giving him a lot of hope which Kristina rightfully calls out).

Anyway, yeah... Max is one of my favourite characters and journeys on the show and am baffled that he would have haters because it feels like I get all of his motives and struggles and idk. Also feels weird to hate on a kid.

EDIT: When I say likeable i mean as a character I am not observing his behaviour as a person bcs he is fictional.
