A sub-trope of MutuallyUnequalRelation. Oblivious to Hatred is when a character, usually TheDitz, a CloudCuckoolander, or has a SmallNameBigEgo, is blissfully unaware of how much another character hates them, despite how blatant they are about their feelings. This trope can often result in either an InsultBackfire or InsultMisfire.

When a character does become aware of the other's dislike for them, it turns into SomebodyDoesntLoveRaymond. For when a character can't accept that another isn't in love with them, see MadLove. Compare UnknownRival and contrast ObliviousToLove.
