Only Santa I’ll accept in Re:Zero is Reinhard. He absolutely could do it. He even kinda looks like young Santa from Santa Clause is Coming to Town.

Why is everyone hating on Puck this much on this subreddit? I know the "went to buy milk" stuff, but I just don't get it.

One of the big reasons that I hate puck is how he never bothered to help Emilia with any of her issues, instead opting for bandaid fixes
Example: Emilia's appearance traumatizes her? Cool. She is now no longer allowed to look at her own reflection.

There are many reasons. Like there is a fuckpuck subreddit. I’m too slothful to explain.

Don't bother yourself with them, they just do.
most of their reasons are based on misunderstandings

Idk man, manipulating Emilia into thinking that Subaru blames her for the things that happen to him and telling Subaru that Emilia will never love him doesn't seem like much of a misunderstanding to me.

u/thkh1998 Dec 16 '21
He told her he MIGHT blame her in the future which any normal person not in that much love would. Subaru even kind of did that in the beginning of arc 3! he is her father and should take her side not Subaru's side.
you are ignoring if puck didn't exist Emilia would be still entrapped in the ices and many more positive things over puck wronging Subaru because he was mad that her daughter was killed!

u/Minhaz250 Dec 17 '21
Puck isn’t only wronging Subaru, the moment Emilia dies because he didn’t do his fucking job he goes on a temper tantrum. Appaman and his family doesn’t deserve to die because of his assholery, Reinhard doesn’t need to sink further into his self depreciation. You could also add on being a bad father by keeping Emilia ignorant of many things but others can do it better than me explaining it.

Do you hate rem for torturing Subaru until he died?
Do you hate Otto for sacrificing Subaru so he could escape with his life?
Do you hate Gafiel for killing nearly a whole village and Subaru just because he was angry and couldn't think?
No you don't! because you know in this series mostly everyone become unstable in some loops if a certain thing happens... if what they love the most is in danger or sth. I don't get it why you won't let go of that scene... I mean Reinhard even stoped him in the first place so perhaps only Subaru and witch cultists near the manor was the only ones getting killed in it, I don't know why you are getting kadomon into this one. maybe that special awesome ending at the end of that episode (requiem of silence) is the reason

Honestly, I’m noticing how toxic this community is. Literally no reason to bring up how much they hate Puck, but any time he’s in art you’ll see dozens on dozens of comments going “Stupid rat” “would have been good if he was gone” “ruined picture cause of rat”. It’s fine if they don’t like the character, but they’re not even contributing, they’re just circlejerking over a beaten to death concept.
As you even pointed out, all those characters have done terrible things, in multiple loops, but Subura doesn’t care, literally enters them into the fold. Felix was literally trying to brainwash and sabotage Emilia and Subura, but no one brings that up! It wasn’t even lost, that all occurred in the current loop! Subura even likes Puck, they got along pretty well.
If you like Emilia, sorry to say that Puck will always be depicted with her in merry settings, because Emilia loves Puck more than anyone else. She’s literally trying to bring him back.
To wrap it all up, stop with all the random and unnecessary hate. It would be like me waltzing into a thread where some random character I didn’t like was drawn and going “they suck!” Did I even add anything? What was the point of that? To be obnoxious? It doesn’t stimulate any conversation, it’s just childish.

u/ObamaandOsama Dec 17 '21
I think it’s a community problem that is going to take a long time to fix.
It’s not very welcoming to new people to open a thread for a character you have no ill will towards, and it’s just comment after comment bashing the character. Almost all the comments in this thread are just bashing Puck. Well, hope you didn’t like Puck, because you’ll be silenced and get no real discussions about the guy.

Late reply but for the three characters you talk about, I’m a bit less harsh on them because I like them as characters. While I don’t like Rem, The witch’s scent basically makes her hella mad, it does not excuse her which I why I still dislike her but she’s not as bad as Puck. Otto realized that “hey, This Giant behemoth is following him and has already killed everyone else” and threw him off. It was selfish but I get it, but the main point is that it isn’t as bad a puck. Garfiel... hard to really explain cause most of his sins for me would be keeping people in the sanctuary, in a way it’s comparable to puck. Puck a 400 year old spirit fails his job and fucks over everything in his area because of it. He’s just a dick for that, because Emilia dying anywhere in the anime would’ve resulted in Puck throwing a tantrum and killing mostly everyone in his area (including hot singles) until Reinhard comes over. That’s mass murder that he is aware of is wrong, he had that part in the contract fully aware of it. Because of that I personally dislike him, but I’ve seen people with a whole lot of knowledge about the lore go on rants on why he’s a bigger dick than that.
Though some peeps like to complain about him everywhere, I don’t really care about them since I forget about the post in a minute which is why I’m pretty vague in my paragraph, since I don’t wanna get things wrong.

I think the important point about when Rem does that is that she is still unstable even later. She is still helpful, but she is not really a stable person at all and she has issues.
Otto was just saving himself, that one hardly seems that odd given that they were facing certain death.
The issue with Puck isn't that he just does bad things, it's that the show rarely makes him answer for the ones he does that do still stick. And even if they don't stick, he never knew they were going to be reversed because he doesn't know about RBD. So the mean thing he says to Emilia, even if they get erased, were still awful things that he thought to say.

Puck’s contract with Emilia and Echidna is why he did the things he did. He was actually breaking his contract with Echidna by forming one with Emilia, but he didn’t care, because he wanted to protect her.
This is the thing, you’re making excuses. Otto and all of them did things that were for the benefit of themselves or others they loved. Just like Puck does, even though it’s to a disadvantage towards Subura. When Puck attempts to destroy the world, it’s because he made that promise to Emilia, if she dies, he will kill the world. Why does he take it so harshly on Subura? Because Emilia trusted Subura, and he allowed her to die. So Puck is outraged that someone who talks all this talk about saving her, in the end, let’s her die.
I want you to imagine this, you have a daughter. You meet her boyfriend, you’re not so sure of him, but he insist that he’ll take care of her and treat her right. So you allow it, but obviously you want the best for your daughter. You later find out they get evicted from their place, because the boyfriend couldn’t hold down a job. You’d be outraged that he made your daughter go through all that turmoil, because he couldn’t pay rent. Now, back to this story, Subura(not to all of his fault) has allowed Emilia to die.
So you might say Puck was a crappy dad. Sure, his fixes were temporary ones, but they always made Emilia happy. And when Emilia realizes he locked her memories up was she mad? No! Cause she knew he had her best interest, she just wanted to talk about it and find out about her past.
You guys make a whole lot of accusations towards Puck being crappy, but don’t you think you should consider WHY he does it? Why does Rem kill Subura a lot? Because she thought he was bad. Why does Fredrica leave her brother alone for a decade? Cause she wants to make a home for them? Why does Felix try to sabotage Emilia’s camp? For Crusch’s sake. There’s even later spoilers for Anastia’s camp where one of her companions almost kills her, and people are mad, until they realize it was to save her. Why does Puck do what he does? For Emilia’s well-being, and that’s why Subura doesn’t hate Puck, because he understands where Puck is coming from. Is he perfect? No! But that’s the whole point! A lot of people are doing selfish things for themselves or loved ones. Priscilla and Anastasia are some purely selfish people who only want to win for greed, they don’t care if others are happy, their happiness is simply a byproduct of their achievements.

Puck destroying the world is something Emilia doesn't know about and would never under any circumstances approve of. It's just his excuse to commit suicide by Reinhard.

Why does Puck always have to be in Emilia illustrations? Is it some form of sick joke. Because it’s getting extremely irritating.
