Personality-wise they're the "good kids". Some people can't take mouthy kids like Jason, Steph, and Damian, even if they don't kill people.
There's the feud between Tim and Damian fans, the debate whether Jason and Kate should be in the family, whether Cass is too strong and if Duke is even necessary.
Then there's Bruce whose writers sometimes can't seem to differentiate between being introvert and a jerk or too focused on one side than the other he comes off as a jerk
I like him in Golden, Silver, Bronze age, the movies, I have no problem there (well, except that one time he chose to date Talia who's around the same age as Dick. That's creepy)
When they make him too obsessed on the mission that he forgets the people who support him, and they make him do this over and over, even if there's a pretty big interval, even if it's caused by grief, of course, he's not gonna be likable.
It's interesting and understandable the first time, but if it keeps happening, it's a problem.
