Opinion: Is Jar Jar an Abomination?

Every hardcore fan of Star Wars properly hates Jar Jar. Well, I am sorry but I kind of like this guy. It is probably because I was born four years before The Phantom Menace came out and therefore my earliest Star Wars or infact living memories are associated with Episode I, as a kid living in Easernt Europe at that time. This is why it is my guilty pleasure- Episode I was the most amazing thing I had seen at the age of 4. This is why Jar Jar is part of my innere child. I totally agree that Episode I was extremely bad compared to The Original Trilogy and Jar Jar was just ridiculous, but in my opinion the prequel trilogy is set in a completely different mood as the time in the galaxy was a lot safer and less opressed than the time of the reign of Palpatine. Therefore putting a character like Jar Jar is in my opinion not that bad of a choice. He is to me like a retarded C3PO comic relief kind of guy. Overall, I think he is pretty chill, but does indeed get quite annoying looking at his stupidity.
