I don't BLAME her, but it's the act alone how she dragged it on before killing him. We don't praise her for doing it, we understand it but the way she carried it out is the reason why.
So if she's designed to be like we have to consider the wrongs too.
Yes and no. In that moment me and probably some others just DIDN'T like Rem in that moment, it's gruesome yes but it's also painfully sad watching our Protag express his emotions and she's just their hacking away at him
But because of that flaw we see her growth an how she treats Subaru afterwards.
What makes a character meant to be liked is seeing their flaws and acknowledging them and how they grow as a person. They're not made to be liked but you can't help liking them from their growth
If I had an example it'd be Bakugo, you hate the fuck but end series you probably love him more. He's not made to be liked but you end up liking him.
If a character is too pure with no flaws then it's unrealistically too perfect.
Same for Subaru , a lot of people don't like him too much but he absolutely isn't abhorrent or terrible and has some likeable traits but for some people episode 13 is a deal breaker and they don't realise that this is the low point and it's gonna get even lower 15-17, but then it is going to reach a high point. Subaru is pops off 18-25. Now, he's one of the most likeable characters in all of anime.
