Some post must've been deleted because this quote makes no sense in the context of Milo's post.

There are other threads that talk about Ducky hate.

But I will sum it up for you here.

1. Duck messed with the tractor and got Shawn killed. There is an argument to be made that Shawn should not have invited Ducky to "supervise," but there are only so many steps up the event tree before people are taking unreasonable responsibility for the actions of others.
2. Duck doesn't watch his surroundings very closely, so that shambler got to him in Ep. 1
3. Duck was getting hyper at the end of Ep. 1. Talking to Clem even though it was clear that she was distraught over the broken radio.
4. Duck is dead weight (so is Clem, but she is cute enough to make you want to save her, plus she gave Lee a hammer when he really needed it, plus a man with a "daughter" is pretty perceived that a man alone).
5. I think there could be an argument that Kenny wouldn't be half as crazy if Ducky weren't so... "danger prone"?

Children might be our future, but they are parasites for a good while (until they can be trusted with minimally supervised chores). It is a good thing they are so cute and we are so irrational towards protecting them.

I fall into the camp that wants to push Ducky under a bus. If only buses still ran.

But I wouldn't have stayed with this group. Kenny doesn't keep his cool. Larry is an ***hole, which taints Lilly's attitude. The only people I trust are Kayjaa, Carly/Doug, Clem, Mark, and Ben.

Duck is a danger to the group and gets people killed through his stupidity. Clementine however is not, and actually saves you on various occasions through her intelligent actions. Hence the hatred for Duck - in another thread it was mentioned that even other children playing this game have recognized and responded to this. Another poster in a different thread mentioned his kid was watching him play the game, and when Duck was in danger of becoming zombie bait the aforementioned kid said 'Die duck die!' which surprised the poster.

Also, why does the original poster use the word 'lol' so often in his/her posts anyway?
