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 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) He appears to be much older than Blossom as he's like 9-11 whilst Blossom is like 5-6. Which makes Jared a pedophile!
 * 2) Their relationship with each other feels very forced, cringe-worthy, dull, bland and creepy, Since, as mentioned above, he's much older than Blossom.
 * 3) * The interactions between him and Blossom are also very creepy.
 * 4) *Blossom is frequently seen having not-so-innocent fantasies about him. For example, look at this picture!
 * 5) Even though he's supposed to be an elementary school student, but he looks more like a teenager.
 * 6) He's nothing but another satellite love interest who shows no personality traits except the fact that he's a nerd and a love interest of Blossom.
 * 7) He's extremely unlikable, stale, bland, cringe-worthy and disturbingly hopeless romantic.
 * 8) He's design is so mediocre and creepy.
 * 9) He serves no purpose in PPG (2016) like most new characters in reboot.
 * 10) Speaking of creepy, he has the same given name and similar appearance to ex-Subway spokesperson Jared Fogle, who was arrested for child pornography charges shortly before the reboot aired, However, he was actually 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.
