Apparently, no-one except dude-bros likes TWDCaryl/TBOC/Season 2 Daryl. I hate to burst that bubble for anyone who believes that, but it's simply not true. I'm not a dude-bro, and I like Daryl in season 2 of the spinoff, and from talking to other fans, I know that many other fans who aren't dude-bros also like him this season.
Are their differences in him from how he was on the main show? Yes, there are. But that isn't a bad thing, nor does it mean Daryl is out of character. For me, Daryl is not out of character, and the changes in him are realistic.
If you feel differently about Daryl this season, if you don't like this version of Daryl, that's entirely your right and is valid. But understand that we don't all feel the same way you feel and, as such, don't make sweeping statements such as "no-one likes..." that suggests that we do. Some fans see things the way you see them, while others see things how I see them, and I'm sure there's a spectrum of views in between. All are valid.
We should all be free to talk about how we feel and why and to say that we know some other people who have indicated they feel the same way we do. What we shouldn't be free to do is to make sweeping assumptions that everyone agrees with us and state that to be the case.
