sorta don't really know. In the show I really didn't like him cause he caused Ron a lot of pain due to Kim crushing on him. Yet in some of my stories I make him a rather nice guy, who liked Kim but realizes that Ron is better for her. Then in another fic he is with Kim while Ron is with Tara. Just depends on how you want him to be. Gonna be interesting with the new season to see what they do with him.

Summed it my hatred for Josh perfectly ;D I knew you were good for something j/k Because they portray Josh as a really popular well liked artist guy who seemingly has some money (basing this on some of the things he does in the short time we see him on the series, not me making it up) I am a "Artist" you could say (Although I can't draw a person if my life depended on it) And am roughly a year away from graduating. I am popular, but I am not saught after by cheerleaders, I struggle to make it by with what money I have (materials are NOT cheap my friend). Josh is the total opposite in that sense of a artist, all the great artists had relationship problems, not to mention psychological problems. That is why I hate him, cause he's breaking the rulez!! Uh...huh. a) He's still in high school. The art thing may well be a hobby; he also plays in a band, you know. b) How do we know he comes from money? The show never bothered to develop him. c) I, myself, was - and still am - like Ron: eccentric, unmemorable, girls wouldn't spit on him if he was on fire. Sure, I was jealous of guys like Josh, but I didn't hate them. If anything, the girls who ignored me were more at fault. And I maintain that that 'other man' stuff is a lazy excuse. I once ran in "Hey Arnold!" fan circles and the Arnold/Helga shippers stated similar reasons for hating Lila. It was a sixth-rate (at best) reason then and it is now. Would it just be easier to tell you that he's the easiest character to kill off? Honestly though, the money thing was never mentioned (checked previous eps) Being a full time artist is still what he is (a Band is still considered to be making art, only in the audio art form). Usually when I write fanfics, they tend to have some charater deaths, and Josh is just the perfect one to make a homicidal maniac. Think about it, He dated the head cheerleader, then they 'drifted apart' He could very well have turned Kim into a object that only he was allowed to have. That and he's more of a pretty boy, and I have a imense dislike for pretty boys. I'm more like Ron than anyone else, and you usually don't like your exact opposite since he gets everything that you usually can't, or are not confident enough to get.

People here (and throughout the KP fandom) say they despise Josh; that he's some sort of cruel person, the hilarious irony being that these people come off worse than they perceive Josh to be.

Hey now no need to get smug about it. People dislike who the dislike and if they don't like a character for messing with a pairing they like then it's their right. I've made it clear I'm more disinterested in the guy but I've in the past disliked characters for the sole reason of dating another character I thought they shouldn't. It means I'm getting enough into the show to start feeling emotions it doesn't mean I'm a jerk. Careful on how you view others or they may extend the same view point onto you. Personally for me I think Tara is the easiest to kill off. I really don't know why it's not like I hate the character or anything. Just the way things turn out.

Huh? Who's Josh?
Seriously, he doesn't even appear in anough episodes to even make me think that he and Kim had anything going on between them. He seems nice so far and I don't really see anything wrong with him. If we are to believe Kim, both of them "drifted apart". So no harrowing break up, no weepy incidents... just silent, boring, drifting apart and moving on. (Oh well, we don't want KP to turn into a soap opera now, do we?) So I would have to put this in the "don't know" section.

It means I'm getting enough into the show to start feeling emotions it doesn't mean I'm a jerk. Careful on how you view others or they may extend the same view point onto you. You're right; people can and do dislike who they dislike. For example, I harbor strong hate-related feelings for one Bonnie Rockwaller. I'm aware that it's all kinds of wrong to hate one character, then lecture people on why they shouldn't hate another. I just failed to understand the reasoning behind people's hatred of Josh...and got a little carried away, as I tend to do. The big difference being, IMO, that Josh just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. On the other hand, Bonnie, with her constant insults and overall demeanor, practically has 'Hello. I'm a villain.' tattooed on her forehead, but the writers never made a move to that level, though given the plans for season four, I might be wrong again. (After all, she's gonna be standing in the way of the pairing...) And smug or not, the irony is funny.

The boy has no personality beyond "nice guy."

Josh is an okay guy. I don't see what's wrong with him, but that's just me. Besides, he is hardly ever around, so what's the big? He's a pretty boy. Well, I too dislike pretty boy, but Josh doesn't strike me as the "I'm all that" type of guy.

I still stand by my feelings for Josh.
Bonnie is good to have around because you need a instigator. Josh is, well there. Like you said, wrong place, wrong time. And I happen to be part of that crowd.

I don't hate him... I just don't find him Mr. Wonderful. He's a very nice guy that helps kids and volunteers for the community, but other than that... has he no quirks?

i don't know why i hate josh so much. i just do. :/ yes, i'll openly admit i have no real reason to hate him. but then, everyone likes wade & i have no real reason to dislike him so much, either, so i don't hate josh just because everyone else does. & it's not because he stands (well, stood ) in the way of k/r. i have no problem with yori, zita (i actually think she's pretty cool) or any other girl that ron has shown an interest in. so HA. i actually used to like josh, but now i think he should kill himself. <3samm.
