I watched TNG from beginning to end and throughout it tried to see anything to be critical of about Wesley and couldn’t find anything. What’s the big deal?

Wesley Crusher was a wish fulfillment character for Gene Wesley Roddenberry (yes, that’s his real middle name). We don’t have a problem with smart kids, they just gotta stay in their lane: focus on school and hobbies, having fun, and chipping in the occasional good idea. When the “smart kid” gets written to be the ship’s last hope and miraculous saviour (on more than one occasion) it turns the show into a farce.
Who’s this ‘we’ you speak of?
You sound like an adult baby with a bruised ego. Bullying kids who you perceive smarter than you especially as an adult is just a shitty look no matter how you’re trying to cut it here.
“We” being the Trek fans who are not Wesley fans. He was written very poorly and it reflected badly on the show. I don’t have a problem with Wil Wheaton’s acting and Stand By Me was one of my favourite movies as a kid.
The only bully here is you.
You invited yourself here over hurt feelings of the mere threat of someone not joining your little toxic bandwagon to hate on a kid. You’re not a victim here, snowflake.
