User blog comment:Flagator24/What's with all the hate towards Mike?/@comment-25285054-20180418182953

Mike angers me because as someone with writing aspirations...he's a complete amature mistake, the kind of character you'd make when you were thirteen. He's totally defined by his character gimmick and has ZERO defined character traits, flaws or ''otherwise. His pathetic attempts to woo Zoey are the only hint of him having interests we're given, he's THAT undefined.''

Yet we're supposed to root for him because...why? All of the problems caused by him in both of his seasons are entirely a result of him ignoring his doctor's advice and being irresponsible, yet he's never called on this. He lets two girls believe he's a womanizing jerk so he doesn't have to do the right thing and..we're supposed to feel bad for him for ending up in that predicament. He does nothing for anyone in his life and everyone he knows him would have been better off not knowing,

Mike's not just offensive because his depiction of mental illness is insanely inaccurate and misleading, he's offensive because he treats mental illness with the weight of a high school kid who doesn't understand girls.
