Why exactly is he so hated?

I liked Jerry at first because he seemed like a clever parody of "sitcom dad". He was mediocre, but he knew it and was trying to make the best of it. If I remember right, his first scene is trying to spend more time with his wife because he (correctly) thinks they don't have a very good marriage. It's Beth who wants to ignore the problem.

Writing Beth and Summer episodes is hard.

what was the point of the incest baby
it wasn't funny or necessarily shocking, just disgusting

Nice

For me the better question is why Jerry's bashing bother anons so much but Meg's bashing is OK and if you don't like it mean you lack sense of humor?

Pretty much all the characters have become flanderized. No one is likeable anymore.

The time he, so overwhelmingly stupidly, as was in-character for him, used the entirely new, never seen before, time travel remote of Morty's, undoing his entire relationship with that choker girl, is the day I swore to hate him evermore.

From the very first pilot episode you could tell that they realized having him as a counter to Rick simply wouldn't work. That's why the whole concerned father shit was immediately dropped.

Everyone hate's their own reflection.
Legit, he is the side that Harmon sees others don't and he hates it about himself. On the outside he thinks he is some progressive warrior, when in reality he is a weak, lily livered weekend numbers cruncher who wishes he could do more.

>He was just a normal guy at the beginning of the show

The third episode of the series is about his parents having a cucking fetish and him being embarrassed about it. The fourth episode in the series is the one where Jerry is too dumb to notice he's in a simulation that keeps glitching out and he gets fired from his job in the real world.

Jerry was built from the start to be the series punching bag. Some pathetic losers just unironically related to him.

He exists as a way to justify Morty being Morty.

Most people on here hate Meg bashing too, esspessially when the show tries to portray Meg as ugly and Lois as hot despite them looking very similar.

Really? I know Any Forums isn't a hivemind but the anons that dislike Meg bashing are certainly outnumbered by anons claiming that only women and s-o-is feel offended

This.
Jerry is just some typical unremarkable guy. but then, somewhere in season 3 they made him admit to being sexist and racist...for whatever reason. Despite never really coming off as one.

Meg bashing came about as later writers realized Seth conceptualized very little character for her and Chris.

Early Meg and Chris episodes were early FG's weakest points, which is why Chris became flanderized into Monkey and Seth Green meta jokes and Meg a grossout punching bag.

They should have kept the joke of Chris being a dude-bro at least 10 years older mentally than his actual age like in the proto-pilot.
