Fandom being SeriousBusiness, it is not at all uncommon for fans to become emotionally attached to fictional characters. As such, when a character [[PutOnABus departs from the show]], whether cruel, abrupt, or even with proper closure, it can cause strong feelings of emptiness akin to a break-up. The process of a new character entering fans' lives can thus be explained through the popular Five Stages of Grief. Actual level of emotional response may vary from person to person. This is a representation of particularly extreme cases (because it's more fun that way).

Caveat (reposted from the main page): Of course, being a Replacement Scrappy does not preclude also being a regular Scrappy. It is entirely possible that the audience would have hated the character anyway.
