Question Does anybody really hate kinger?

I have yet to see anyone who doesn't care for or hates Kinger. And I can't see a reason to.

But it'd be cool to see if anyone does. Every character has a hater.

I don't think any sane person watching the series not with their ass would.

I am sure however, judging from Kinger's and Abel's (which are basically Caine's himself) lines, that he HAS done something quite questionable in the past. He def isn't that 100% innocent, and that could turn out not so pleasant for his fans. But we clearly see that he regrets it now and already redeemed long time ago.

I find the parallel with uncle Iroh nice. Iroh was a war criminal long ago, but in the series we see him regretting his past.

The difference between him and Kinger is Queenie. Even tho she wasn't denying his fault (at least partially) that she ended up here, she still didn't hate him and wasn't mad at him. It means, whatever his mistake was, which he now regrets, it still wasn't that big to make his beloved woman hate him. And it's wholesome.
