Yeah I'll admit that Kirito isn't exactly the "hope of humanity", but he was the hope of those trapped in the world of SAO, so in that world one could call him humanity's hope. Yet despite trying to help the population survive, they've been rejected by many but those who they knew/were close to.

They're trapped in worlds filled with monsters. Monsters everyone fears because they don't wish to be killed. Eren and Kirito wish for nothing more than to beat their worlds, yet because of their certain traits and identities (Eren as a Titan Shifter, Kirito as a Beater), people viewed THEM as monsters.
