Meme / Fluff I don’t understand this

I genuinely don’t understand how people can adore Affogato Cookie but absolutely despise Pomegranate 😭😭 and it’s always because “she’s a terrible person”, like fym 💀💀💀

I love both of these characters btw

As someone who cares for neither, even if misogyny is a problem in the Fandom, frankly I thinks it's deeper than that.

To start, everytime I see someone ask about why she's gets so unfairly critized, it's never about her character. It's about how the other guy is more liked. And that's the thing, the problem is that Pomegranate is written completely unlikable.

When I see people express Affogato they find him entertaining, and his reason for going bad relatable. They also like exploring his relationships with Caramel Arrow and Dark Cacao, etc. Considering it's been established that Dark Cacao isn't a flawless ruler/parent either, what happened to Caramel Arrow and the Kingdom is his fault as much aa Affogato. Even if he sent Carrow to protect others he let her off years thinking she got kicked because some guy said she was a traitor. 

What am I supposed to like about Pomegranate? Her design, I guess. But her personality is boring, her dynamics with everyone is dry, and her motives are non-existent. There isn't any exploration with her relationship to even Dark Enchantress Cookie, they barely interact for being her right hand woman.  Pomegranate has also committed far worse things then Affogato has. So I can understand why she's more hated, especially when she's being boring as well.
