Why does everyone hate him?

Reading on him I'm starting to realize that he wasn't a bad emperor at all. Maybe a bit more strict than the others, but still, he was a completely sane and competent man who wasn't motivated by self-interest and did the things he did for the sake of the Roman Empire.

Why do people always group him with degenerates such as Commodus, Caligula, Elagabalus and others? I think he deserves better.

His disdain for plebs makes them feel inferior.

He's a fucking traitor, that's why

He's black, all he wanted was equality for all Roman citizens regardless of race, creed, or skin color.

>>1224536
He may have been of African descent but that doesn't necessarily make him black, fucking BLM activist.

There are lightskinned North Africans, you know. Especially the Berbers.

I've never seen him grouped with the degenerates, only with the despots with unwise policies like Domitian, which is a totally fair assesment of him.

We need to make an objective tier list for the emperors.
