By polarizing character, I mean a character who doesn't necessarily create a lot of hate and love but rather creates a plethora of VASTLY diverging, alternative character interpretations. So not Naruto (some may love him, some may hate him, but most of us agree that he is a homoerotic airhead with hidden depths) but more among the lines of Shinji Ikari (a courageous Chaste Hero who genuinely cares about humanity but is too wracked with psychological trauma to do anything about it V.S. a selfish, closet-pervert who is apathetic and/or cowardly).
Actually, Shinji is not that great an example. Light Yagami or Flay Allster might be better examples. >.>;;
I've created a poll with the ones I can think of right now, but I probably forgot many of the ones you personally consider polarizing in their fandoms, creating broken bases.
Try to limit the bashing - we're trying to observe/note an interesting phenomenon of polarization, not butcher a character.
