Nothing wrong with that. My tastes tend to skew that way too, so I might be biased. But judging whether a story's too dark to be enjoyable is always going to be a matter of personal taste. I know I couldn't get into George RR Martin's series because the death toll was too high for me, even though what I read was a very good story. So I do understand.
Hey, you can totally be unfair to a fictional character. God knows I've wanted to go dude, stop that at enough people bashing female characters for daring to have a vagina and be in the vicinity at hot guys. And I do think that's unfair of me, especially in cases like Ginji's. I'm capable of working past those prejudices in real life. (Well... unless they start talking football and car racing at me. I blame being raised as the only girl in a family of football and car racing nuts. XD) It's just that in fiction, I don't go to the same effort because it's just for fun.
...Huh. I think I just realized that the other part of my lack of interest in Ginji (and Ban, for that matter, considering he's much closer to my usual type but I have even less interest in him than Ginji because he doesn't have that cheerfulness) is that he's such a GUY. And half the reason I read manga and play videogames in the first place is to avoid the guys in my house. XD
