I never thought that hatred of a character due to a misportrayal in an anime could cause this much trouble.
The SAO anime, by removing all of Kirito's monologues and stuff made him look like some kind of imba god mode prick that frequently pulls pomegranate out of nowhere (reading the LN will show you that he isn't).
AK has Duelists, an entire class which dual-wields swords like Kirito (in Aincrad arc). Now every class has its share of Leeroy Jenkins and idiots, but the general baseless hatred against Kirito has actually caused many players to discriminate against Duelists and kick them on sight. Like I said, every class has its share of idiots, but Duelists are hit pretty bad because they're a fragile melee class, and most people just don't know how to FREAKING GET OUT OF THE RED AREAS.
Every single damn Duelist is considered a Kirito wannabe by the community. Even people who haven't even heard of SAO aren't spared. This is absolutely ridiculous.
I think I'm beginning to agree with Einstein; human stupidity truly is infinite.
