Why are waifubait characters considered poor taste? They are

"Perfect waifu" is subjective.

They aren't waifu characters and there is no baiting occuring. They are characters that someone may or may not take as their waifu. There is no perfect waifu just like there is no perfect wife.

Most people just completely fail to understand what a waifu is even though it's so simple.

That's exactly the problem, they are paper thin stereotypes of what desperate virgins would consider the "perfect" wife.

People think waifubait is some bland character, but there are other types like Ueno, I think she's a good bait for wife. But of course many anons would disagree with me because they say she's just a bitch.

How do you know the mangaka was baiting?

4chan was a much funner place before the widespread use of the word bait.

It's not just 4chan, you can see it everywhere. People think that if something isn't exactly suited to their preferences, it has to be baiting or pandering. The reason for this is that narcissistic personality disorder is now the norm. I used to think The Last Psychiatrist was off his meds, constantly seeing narcissism everywhere...

What is weird is that people use "waifu bait" together with "shit character" and that's a contradiction.

Nia was made to be Simon's waifu, not as waifubait. Calling her waifu bait only shows your massive desire to self-insert as Simon.

Forced. Waifubait charas are usually very similar anyways based on what the average person thinks is a "perfect woman" but in my opinion the ones that have flaws and real personalities make them seem more human and appealing.
