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's Loathsome

 * 1) Two words: Child Sexualization, He appears to be much older than Blossom as he's like 9-11 whilst Blossom is like 5-6.
 * 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 outrageous.
 * 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 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 serves no purpose in PPG (2016) like most new characters in the reboot.
 * 8) His design is so mediocre and weird, especially for the Powerpuff Girls standards.
 * 9) 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.
