Jared Shapiro (The Powerpuff Girls, 2016)

Jared Shapiro is a recurring character in the 2016 reboot of The Powerpuff Girls. He's Blossom's love interest and crush. He's infamous for his lack of personality and almost ruining the Brick x Blossom relationship but mostly because of his resemblance to writer & voice actor Jake Goldman leading to accusations of Jared being a romantic stand-in.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) Two words: Child Sexualization, He appears to be much older than Blossom as he's like 9-11 (lol funny) whilst Blossom is like 5-6 (possibly 10).
 * 2) Their relationship with each other feels very forced, cringe-worthy, dull, bland, and creepy, Since as mentioned above, he's older than Blossom.
 * 3) * The interactions between him and Blossom are very awkward.
 * 4) *Blossom is frequently seen as having bizarre fantasies about him. For example, look at this picture.
 * 5) Even though he's supposed to be an elementary school student, he looks more like a preteen nor teenager.
 * 6) He's nothing but a satellite love interest who shows no personality traits except the fact that he's a nerd stereotype and a love interest of Blossom.
 * 7) His design is mediocre, it even loosely resembles Andrew Goldberg from Big Mouth.
 * 8) He was modeled after and voiced by series lead writer Jake Goldman. But, the interactions between the character and Blossom are no less creepy. Many accused Jared of being a self-insert of Goldman because of the character's design.

The Only Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Him getting sick from the cookie Blossom offered him in "Never Been Blissed" is what he deserved.
 * 2) "APOLOGIZING IS AN EVEN BIGGER ACT OF WAR!"
