I believe Nick and Adalind get it the worst. Adalind, for being the "biggest" villain ever and Nick for not being heroic enough even though he's long defied most of his people deadly tendencies (we see little glimpses of this but not as much as we should have over the course of six years). I don't really buy Grimms as heroes/good guys but Nick is meant to be both. I have no problems seeing that in him.
I don't think people want Adalind to be genuine in her new persona, or else claims of her running a con wouldn't exist and there's been nothing on the show currently that even supports those claims, it's just conjecture and nothing more.
I also think people are disappointed in Nick for one thing or another and therefore stained his character for them. He's corrupted and nothing will ever change that but the comparisons to Renard's character have me stumped. Like Adalind, I have seen nothing on this show that would ever make me believe Nick is anything like/worse than Renard, a known manipulator who openly committed murder to further his plans. Nick's world had changed but he's gone out of his way not to do deplorable things. His kills, we're often in defence of someone, to stop a killer. But there's some that slipped through the cracks but even then there were mitigating circumstances. He's selfish but not Renard's kind of selfishness.
It seems it's easier to hate these two characters more than anyone else.
Renard is a character I've always viewed as a villain or a rehabilitated villain but I've never romanticized him ever. Sometimes when reading posts about him as him as if he's a spotless good guy, I literally cringe. The things he's done are deplorable but it's as is it's never happened for some and I don't get that. He's the one that probably has the most blood on his hands but that doesn't seem to count for some weird inexplicable reason.
