History TheFriendNobodyLikes / FanWorks

* ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} in the sequel and spin-offs to ''Fanfic/TheManyDatesOfDannyFenton''. Owing to his insanity, career, or his overly friendly attitude, he's not well liked by most people who associate with him. This includes Danny's dates and girlfriends in other timelines, including ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}, WesternAnimation/KimPossible and even [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheGhoulSchool Phantasma]]. WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom, on the other hand, whether it be cluelessness on what Deadpool does or just because he's nice to him, [[OddFriendship considers him a friend]].

* ''Fanfic/DannyPhantomStranded'': Stella isn't very well-liked by Danny's parents, but it's {{justified|Trope}}, given that they had met while their kids were missing during ''Lost'' and everyone assumed that their disappearance was due to Stella badmouthing Danny and arguing with Star over it. Combined with Stella's thoughtlessness/lack of responsibility about the situation, they begin to dislike her. Even when Stella apologized to Danny, they did not forgive her and made it clear that they only associate with her due to her daughter being Danny's girlfriend.
** It is more prominent during ''Bonding'', where Maddie and Jack barely hid their dislike of Stella and seemed to bond more with Jonathan. When Stella and Johnathan started arguing, both Jack and Maddie took Johnathan's side and admitted how they really feel about Stella and her past actions. Thankfully, after the ghost attack and Stella risking her life to save Star, they acknowledge what she did and let bygones be bygones. By ''Sick'', they are much more civil with Stella.

* Matt is this in ''Fanfic/ThoseWhoStandForNothingFallForAnything''. Everyone just seems to tolerate his presence to various degrees [[spoiler: even his wife]].

* ''Fanfic/TheAmazingSpiderManTruePurpose'' analyses the idea of Spider-Man being this to other heroes when he's killed by Magik during ''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen''. When Rogue questions why so many people are taking the wall-crawler's death so hard when she’s heard so many complaints about his attitude, Ben Grimm and Logan make it clear that those who took the time to truly know Spider-Man outside the mask deeply respected his attitude and his drive to do the right thing. Rogers and Red Sonja note later that what makes Spider-Man a good choice [[spoiler:to lead the planned Avengers Unity Squad]] is that he’s been able to work with so many other heroes, and even the occasional team-up with his villains, despite how so many find him aggrivating.
** In contrast to Spider-Man, during the final fight with Scott and Emma, Bobby notes that nobody’s that sorry about having to fight the former White Queen since in her case people more tolerated her attitude for her skills rather than actually liking her, as opposed to Spider-Man being annoying on occasion but respected by those who counted.

** During Lockhart’s time as a teacher, it’s made clear that nobody else on the staff likes him; at one point Madam Pomfrey only tells Daphne off for referring to Lockhart as a candlestick because implying that Lockhart brings light to anything is too good for him.

* {{Deconstructed|Trope}} in ''Fanfic/MyHeroAcademiaMechanicalGreen'' with Minoru Mineta. The guys tolerate him at best, but the girls absolutely hate his guts, most evident with Momo and Tsuyu, largely due to his open perversion and lack of boundaries making them uncomfortable. During the Sports Festival, he overhears [[GenderFlip Izuku]], Ochaco, and Tsuyu admit just how much they despise him and wish he'd either be kicked out or just drop out. Minoru was genuinely unaware of how his behavior affected them, thinking it was innocuous, and is left so depressed by this and the idea his class hates him that he forfeits his match with Izuku immediately so he can suffer an IdentityBreakdown in private. [[DidntThinkThisThrough This just makes everyone think he was a]] DirtyCoward who should have dropped out of the Sports Festival before the finals so someone else could take his spot, most of them not really caring about ''why'' he was acting weird and more just pissed they didn't get to watch Izuku punt him into a wall, and it just makes him feel Tsuyu was right about him being useless. Minoru is left sullen overall, and considers seeking therapy with Hound Dog. Even after the Sports Festival, the only thought his classmates spare for him is confusion over his sudden forfeit, and bemusement over the fact he ''wasn't'' involved in the attempt to trick the girls to dress like cheerleaders.

[[AC:''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''

* In the ''Twilight'' fanfic ''Fanfic/BeforeTheDawn'', while Joham was invited to attend the current vampire conference due to his unique knowledge of hybrids, it is made increasingly clear that nobody likes him, ranging from the other vampires treating him with contempt for [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil raping his 'test subjects']] to one vampire 'compelling' birds to leave their droppings all over his tent.


* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/22685074/chapters/54220315 Regaining Perspective]]'' also portrays Laurel as this to Team Arrow. Oliver eventually comments on it, acknowledges his role in it, questions what exactly Felicity and Diggle's problems with her are, and demands that it stop.

* The ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' fic “Riley Who?” (currently lost to the ‘net) features Willow and Giles acknowledging that Angel and Riley are basically this to the Scoobies for different reasons, as while Buffy loved them both the rest of the gang never entirely clicked with either boyfriend. However, when pressed, Willow and Giles each admit to the other that they preferred Angel as he was still basically one of the Scooby Gang and their main issue with him was because of the curse; Riley essentially wants Buffy to be part of his own group in the Initiative rather than acknowledge the bond she has with her existing friends.

* ''Fanfic/RosarioVampireBrightestDarkness Act VI'': Arial Kuyumaya has a HairTriggerTemper and constantly acts like a SpoiledBrat, with every attempt to berate her and get her to mellow out falling flat because she CantTakeCriticism and will physically attack anyone who tries. Throughout Act VI, only Dark, Complica, and Sun can actually stand to be around her; everyone else in the group barely tolerates her at best and has no qualms against calling her crazy, stupid, or otherwise badmouthing her to her face.

* ''Fanfic/RWBYEpicOfRemnant'': The Servants all hate Angra Mainyu because he's an ass. The only reason why they tolerate him is because he's Gudako's boyfriend.
* Syaoran in ''Fanfic/{{Shatterheart}}''. [[spoiler: Because of his clone's betrayal of the group]], he is tolerated at best hated at worst by the rest of the group due to misplaced blame.

* In ''Fanfic/SonicXDarkChaos'', neither Sonic nor any of his friends like Eric very much due to how crazy and annoying he is, and how he apparently [[NoodleIncident nearly got all of them killed several times in the past]]. Even Sonic himself, who is a bit more sympathetic to Eric, simply tolerates him at best.

* ''Fanfic/TheStalkingZukoSeries'':
** Mai is a Dating example, as while she's Zuko's girlfriend, her abrasive attitude gets on everyone else's nerves. Interestingly enough, she starts getting along better with the rest of the cast after (albeit not ''as a result of'') her final breakup with Zuko.
** Aang, possibly unintentionally, is a [[PlayingWithATrope downplayed]] example, being a mix of necessity (since he's [[TheChosenOne the Avatar]]) and Pity (since, for all his flaws, he's a NiceGuy). The Gaang keep him around, but they, particularly Katara, feel bad for him more than they enjoy his company or respect him and can be fairly harsh with him when he makes a decision with which they don't agree, even if they don't say it to his face.
* ''Fanfic/DannyPhantomStranded'': Stella isn't very well-liked by Danny's parents, but it's {{justified|Trope}}, given that they had met while their kids were missing during ''Lost'' and everyone assumed that their disappearance was due to Stella badmouthing Danny and arguing with Star over it. Combined with Stella's thoughtlessness/lack of responsibility about the situation, they begin to dislike her. Even when Stella apologized to Danny, they did not forgive her and made it clear that they only associate with her due to her daughter being Danny's girlfriend.
** It is more prominent during ''Bonding'', where Maddie and Jack barely hid their dislike of Stella and seemed to bond more with Jonathan. When Stella and Johnathan started arguing, both Jack and Maddie took Johnathan's side and admitted how they really feel about Stella and her past actions. Thankfully, after the ghost attack and Stella risking her life to save Star, they acknowledge what she did and let bygones be bygones. By ''Sick'', they are much more civil with Stella.
* In the ''Fanfic/ThereWasOnceAnAvengerFromKrypton'' series, Nick Fury is this to the Avengers and their other allies, due to his abrasive personality and his habit of morally grey actions taken behind their backs supposedly for [[WellIntentionedExtremist the greater good]]. Pepper jokes that everyone hates him, even Fury himself.
* Matt is this in ''Fanfic/ThoseWhoStandForNothingFallForAnything''. Everyone just seems to tolerate his presence to various degrees [[spoiler: even his wife]].
* ''Fanfic/UltimateSpidersAndMagic'': Trixie. Out of all of Peter's friends, she is the most complex with the worst reputation among them. She comes off as a snob with a huge ego and hardly anybody in the school can tolerate her self-absorbed presence. Even when Trixie first meets Peter in Episode I, she immediately recruits him as an assistant, and he spends half the time pondering if they're even friends to begin with. [[spoiler: It's not until the end of Episode II "Rainbow Rocks" that Trixie reveals her genuine attachment to Peter after the Dazzlings' influence wears off.]]
** In Episode IV "Friendship Games", [[spoiler: Sunset can't defend Trixie's antics from the Rainbooms and just accepts that even she doesn't understand how they're friends.]]
* ''Fanfic/WhereTalentGoesToDie'', being a ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' fic, has a few examples. Like ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'', they're cases of Proximity.
** Shiro Kurogane, the Ultimate Shogi Player. He bears a grudge against the protagonist, Kaori Miura, for defeating him in a shogi match by virtue of her beginner's luck, and repeatedly antagonizes her, even when she tries to apologize. Virtually no one who spends much time interacting with him has a positive opinion of him, [[spoiler:and when Sakuragi murders him in order to frame Miura and graduate, most of the cast is more focused on finding the killer to stay alive than mourning his death]].
** Sora Hoshino, the Ultimate Astronomer, is [[BrutalHonesty brutally honest]], and doesn't hesitate to say what's on his mind, regardless of how offensive it may be, resulting in him frequently butting heads with [[TheLeader Reiko Mitamura]], and virtually anyone else who disagrees with him on any point. [[spoiler:Murdering two of the more well-liked members of the class purely so he can graduate]] does not win him any favors, to say the least.
** Downplayed with Anzu Sugiura, the Ultimate Waitress. She's not nearly as unpopular as someone [[spoiler:who secretly has the title of Ultimate Poisoner]] would normally be, but while Hoshino is the only one who openly detests her, she isn't particularly close with most of her classmates. She calls Miura her OnlyFriend, and says that she has an "understanding" of sorts with Iwasawa, whom she trusts enough to [[spoiler:cooperate with on a plan to sacrifice themselves in order to satisfy the requirements for Monokuma's motive]].
** The sequel, ''Fanfic/WhereTalentGoesOnVacation'', continues this trend.
*** Yuichi Asakura is a {{Jerkass}} to just about everyone, [[JerkassToOne especially Nagato]], since he hates her for getting the same Ultimate Title that he has, and supposedly diminishing its value. Azuki concludes by the end of their Free Time Events that they'll never be friends, and even [[NiceGirl Nagato]] implies that she can't stand him.
*** Satoshi Karita, the Ultimate Con Artist, is also disliked due to his untrustworthy personality, and how his talent indicates that he has no qualms with lying to or manipulating others for his own benefit. He tries to downplay this trope by remaining relatively civil to others so that they won't hate him enough to kill him, but his relationship with his roommate Asakura is bad enough that they had to [[ThisIsMySide divide their cabin into sides]].
* While Ragnar the Rock in ''Fanfic/TheDragonAndTheButterflyWhiteout'' thinks that all of them being CoDragons makes them friends, the rest of Drago's Elite Generals hate him because of this, seeing him as nothing but a clingy imbecile.

* ''Fanfic/MrAndMrsGold'': Due to her ambiguous alliance and [[spoiler:the incident involving Cinderella]], Belle decided not to attend Snow White’s baby shower, sending her gift by mail and appearing after everybody else left.


* In ''Fanfic/TheOtherSideMemoriaeterna'', Nick Fury might have the Avengers’ respect, but it’s clear that none of them like him much as a person. Sam Wilson makes it clear early on that he thinks it unlikely Fury would ever have been on Stark’s list of who would get access to Stark Enterprises after his death, even if Fury was operating on the assumption that literally everyone else on said list would have to die before Fury was selected.

* In the "A Common Enemy Without A Common Cause" omake of ''Fanfic/PerfectionIsOverrated'', Hitomi and Shizune prove to be this to their fellow [=SUEs=], standing out from the rest of the already dysfunctional team. Hitomi is an AxCrazy JerkAss murderer and deconstruction of the JerkSue who openly states her intentions to kill the others ForTheEvulz; [[EvenEvilHasStandards the others, despite having poor morals, find her repulsive]]. Shizune is [[TheFundamentalist a religious extremist]] who wants to kill everyone who doesn't agree with her -- which means all of the [=SUEs=], for one reason or another. They're all cases of Proximity, since they don't have any choice in the matter, though.
* ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'':
** ''Ash's Pokédex'' of all things, is this to Ash and the rest of his group. With its InsufferableGenius and DeadpanSnarker tendencies, Ash and the others never miss the chance to voice their annoyance at it.
** A more serious example is Red's Clefairy, whose AxCrazy personality makes it that none of Red's Pokémon are able to tolerate its presence, except his Pikachu and Charizard.
* ''Fanfic/{{Precipice}}'': Despite all the help he has provided the Rebel Alliance with, Hondo isn't really well liked among them, mainly due to him being an unrepentant scoundrel and because many consider him to be annoying.
* ''Fanfic/PrisonIslandBreak'':
** The group initially treats Shadow this way. His only friend is Sonic, and it takes [[spoiler: Silver]] a long, ''long'' time to warm up to him.
** Absolutely ''no one'' likes Scourge. The only reason he sticks around is because there's very little the group can do to get rid of him.
* In ''Fanfic/ProdigalSon'', despite being the new heir of the Hairy Hooligans -- [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor being the typical Viking the tribe wanted to be Stoick's successor]] -- Snotlout's KnowNothingKnowItAll [[{{Narcissist}} Narcissism]] has caused everyone to lose all confidence in him, usually trying to ignore him or keep him busy.
* ''Fanfic/TheRavensPlan'': House Lannister is this among the nobility of Westeros, due to their (especially Tywin and Cersei's) actions in the [[PeggySue original timeline]]. The only reason that no one is waging war against them is due to a combination of [[TokenGoodTeammate Tyrion]] having taken over and the [[ConflictKiller greater threat of the Others]] looming on the horizon.

* ''Fanfic/ForTheGloryOfIrk'':
** Everyone agrees that [[RobotBuddy CB]] is an obstinate {{Jerkass}} and only put up with him because of his usefulness.
** Everyone dislikes Therron due to his laziness and stupidity. Any respect he does manage to get is just because he's a Tallest and the shorter Irkens are obligated to show it to him.

* In ''Webcomic/GhostsOfTheFuture'', [[spoiler:Metal Sonic]] [[HeelFaceTurn joins up with the heroes]] and is ''immediately'' relegated to this role. Since he was previously being [[BrainwashedAndCrazy controlled]] by the BigBad, [[spoiler:crippled Silver's little sister during that time]], and was a supervillain even ''before'' all that, their distrust and scorn isn't surprising. Even [[spoiler:Metal]] himself never faults them for hating him. The only exceptions to this are Sicily (who becomes best friends with him) and Sonic (who used to hate him, but reconsiders after seeing him acting selflessly).

* Ron is this in ''Fanfic/HarryPotterAndThePortraitOfWhatLookedLikeALargePileOfAsh''. Harry keeps thinking mean things about him, such as "Ron's Ron shirt was just as bad as Ron himself".

* ''Fanfic/AHerosWrath'': It is implied that Endeavor is still the No. 2 hero despite his toxic personality and various scandals is because the Hero Commission has a vested interest in keeping him. Otherwise no one could stand him. Deus even compares him to Asura and makes a point that Asura was at least an honorable man who actually cared about other people, Asura himself having hunted Endeavor down and roughed him up when he found out about Shoto and his wife.

* ''Fanfic/HowTheLightGetsIn'' has a more somber version of this than usual. In one flashback, Laurel remarks to Dean that she's pretty sure that the members of Team Arrow don't like her. She's pretty sure they don't ''dislike'' her, but she's still sure they don't like her. Another flashback reveals that [[ProperlyParanoid she's absolutely right]]. As far as Dean's concerned, even after they accepted her, they still considered her an outsider. In the present, she and Diggle even talk about it.
-->'''Diggle:''' You know, when you first joined the team. I didn't like you. Did you know that?\\
'''Laurel:''' Uh, yeah, no shit.
** Even after they accept her, they don't like Dean, with opinions varying between dismissing him as a civilian and viewing him as an unstable threat. After he pummeled Oliver and killed Darhk, this has only increased.
** On the flip side, Dean and his extended family all clearly have a very low opinion of Oliver, and the only member of Team Arrow Dean has any trust or respect for is Diggle.

* ''Fanfic/TheInfiniteLoops'':
** ''Fanfic/TheMLPLoops'': Angel Bunny. He's a jerk on his best days, usually far worse, has conquered multiple worlds, and is a freaking ''Sith Lord''. Fluttershy is the only one who can stand him.
--->'''Celestia:''' Of all the creatures I have encountered in the defense of the realm, you possess the blackest heart.
** ''Fanfic/TheRWBYLoops'': Most of the villainous loopers. In order of activation: Roman and Neopolitan Torchwick, Cinder Fall, and Raven Branwen. While they all start off as examples of supervision, they each seem to develop into care and proximity examples. Yang, Raven's biological daughter, sums it up best: "I might not be willing to call you my ''mom,'' [but] I still think of you as part of my ''family.''"

* Olrox from ''Fanfic/JoysOfTheParenthoodTheTepesEdition'' is the one most prone to issue complaints to Dracula for one reason or another. When he brings up Adrien's "antics" in the castle and calls them a problem, no one else in the council backs him up, a few even requesting play-time with the young prince.

* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/17221694/chapters/40497293 La Squadra Special Mission: Seduce the Boss]]'', overlapping with EvenEvilHasStandards, the rest of La Squadra is disgusted by Melone for his perverted tendencies and nasty habit of impregnating random women to produce juniors for his Stand.
-->'''Footnote #23, Chapter 2''': Incidentally, Melone is the exact sort of person that gives you way too much information about his pregnancy fetish approximately ten minutes after you first meet him. There are so many things the team wishes they could forget.

* {{Deconstructed}} in ''[[Fanfic/OrDidItEatTheLittleGirl let's go out with a bang!]]'': Miu's well aware that none of her classmates particularly ''like'' her, aside from [[TheHeart Kaede]]. [[TheGadfly Kokichi doesn't help]]; she's [[ItsPersonal one of his favorite targets]], and the others commonly berate her for letting herself get baited by things like him casually telling her [[SuicideDare to kill herself]]. This fuels Miu's paranoia and persecution complex, as she clings to the notion that none of her problems [[NeverMyFault are her own fault]] -- it's all ''his'' doing!

* In ''Fanfic/TheLightningStrike''- featuring Franchise/HarryPotter being sent to the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse after Voldemort killed him- Madame Hydra is the only member of Hydra's leaders to have been enhanced herself, but Baron Strucker notes that there are almost certainly half a dozen black projects set up to take her out even though she's ostensibly on their side and the only reason none of them have been put into practice is that nobody had the chance to do so yet.

* In ''Fanfic/MyHuntsmanAcademia'', Katsuki Bakugou is still this. Everyone is flabbergasted at Izuku's ability to treat him kindly despite the horrendous bullying and abuse he piled on him all the way up to the point that they both entered Beacon. Shouto and Ren tolerate and snark at Katsuki, while Yang, Pyrrha, and Nora are all tempted to beat the crap out of him for his treatment of Izuku and Ruby. In time, several heapings of HumblePie and LaserGuidedKarma start to mellow him out, and Ruby can usually hold a half-decent conversation with him after taking Izuku's and Mitsuki's advice on how to handle him.

[[AC: ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'']]

* ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries'':
** Sherman starts out as this (though Andy, his owner, puts up with him), but he later strikes up a friendship with Calvin. He's still not too good with Hobbes or Socrates, though.
** Ironically, the latter is this as well, being [[ThePrankster a very annoying prankster.]]

* ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfRemnant'': While Ironwood's status in the Ozluminati is shaky at best, ''nobody'' likes Winter. Summer notes that the Atlas forces in Vale have all but become an occupying force under her charge, all of them are selectively picking what information she sees out of fear that she'll start a war, and even her own specialists have started to get nervous around her, which Summer notes is a [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness recent development]].

* In ''Fanfic/TheChoicesOfEarth'', while the Doctor allows Tom Milligan to stay with them to investigate what's happening to the children despite Tom having cheated on Martha, it's made clear that nobody else in Torchwood forgives him for cheating and he's mainly there because the Doctor, Martha, Jack, Ianto and Gwen don't dislike him enough to want him dead.

* Bela Talbot starts as this in ''Fanfic/TheCorruptedInnocent'' as the Winchesters don't like or trust her and only keep her around at first to find out why she was released from Hell along with Dean. As Bela learns more about the current stakes of the situation and commits herself to helping the Winchesters, all parties grow past this initial tension, to the extent that Dean and Bela end up falling in love.

* ''Fanfic/DaphneGreengrassAndTheBoyWhoLived'';
** Daphne confirms that nobody in Slytherin actually likes Draco Malfoy as a person and everyone’s just trying to ingratiate themselves with him due to his father’s reputation, explicitly stating that Draco would have nothing if Lucius was poor.
** During Lockhart’s time as a teacher, it’s made clear that nobody else on the staff likes him; at one point Madam Pomfrey only tells Daphne off for referring to Lockhart as a candlestick because implying that Lockhart brings light to anything is too good for him.

* ''Fanfic/EarthsAlienHistory'': The Cardassians and the Breen become this to the rest of the Pact of the Raptor after their failed invasion of Klingon space during the Praxis War ruins the Romulans' attempt to install a Pact-friendly Klingon government. They just barely avoid being kicked out of the Pact, are forced into debt to the Romulans when they pay off their reparations to the Klingons for them, are made to accept demilitarized zones in their territories, and are made to surrender colonies to the Shield Alliance.

* ''Fanfic/{{Eugenesis}}'' has [[UpperClassTwit Mirage]] and [[DeskJockey Prowl]], neither of whom are liked by most (if any) of their fellow Autobots. Prowl is worse off because of his total lack of people skills or leadership abilities.

* In ''Fanfic/TheFaithChronicles'', Kennedy is ultimately this to the rest of the Scooby Gang. Due to Kennedy's near-fanatical devotion to the Watcher's Council, Buffy, Anya and Tara swiftly dislike her given what they have learned about the Council's role in abducting Faith from her birth mother when she was an infant, and Giles simply tolerates Kennedy's presence because he has to put up with the Council's orders. While Kennedy is dating Willow, it's soon made clear that she is emotionally manipulating Willow with the goal of basically using the witch as a weapon for the Council given her magical potential, and Xander is soon forced to face that his own friendship with Kennedy was mainly based around Kennedy encouraging his own hatred of Faith, which Xander gets over when the rest of the Gang make their own changed opinion clear.

* While Genesis, Angeal and Zack like Sephiroth in ''Fanfic/TheFifthAct'', they don't trust him ''at all.'' Angeal and Genesis kept their terminal illness a secret out of shame and resentment. Genesis and Zack initially keep Sephiroth out of their investigation of Cloud's disappearance in fear Sephiroth would turn on them as he is loyal to [=ShinRa=] and Cloud's disappearance is a company cover-up. Sephiroth himself notes how no one trusts him.

* Devin, from the ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' fanfic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8462651/1/A-Thousand-Years A Thousand Years]]'', could apply. Upon being anonymously contacted by Jack ([[ItMakesSenseInContext long story]]), his friends dismiss [[OnlySaneMan his concerns of it being a trap]]. They are also shown to be unsympathetic (even smug) when Jack tells them what his idol, Gwen Cooper, was "[[AuthorFilibuster really like]]".
* ''Fanfic/AllAssortedAnimorphsAUs'': In "What if David never betrayed them?", the Animorphs split up to do missions so that some of them can avoid David, especially Rachel and Tobias.
* In ''Fanfic/AmazingFantasy'', Bakugou's middle school classmates admit behind his back that they can't wait to be rid of him and only fall in line out of fear rather than respect. He loses almost all of his social clout after Izuku manages to humiliate him twice by accident. Bakugou himself is shaken by this and falls back on old habits rather than trying to correct his behavior because he doesn't understand what he's doing wrong.
* "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13645273/1/The-Amazing-Spider-Man-True-Purpose The Amazing Spider-Man: True Purpose]]" analyses the idea of Spider-Man being this to other heroes when he's killed by Magik during ''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen''. When Rogue questions why so many people are taking the wall-crawler's death so hard when so many people complained about his attitude, Ben Grimm and Logan make it clear that those who took the time to truly know Spider-Man outside the mask deeply respected his attitude and his drive to do the right thing.
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6849721/1/An-Apostate-Me An Apostate? Me?]]'' [[VideoGame/DragonAgeII Varric]] claims that Emma Hawke's bickering group is united mainly in their dislike of Sebastian, who became a party member by accident and refuses to go away.

* In the ''[[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Twilight]]'' fanfic ''Fanfic/BeforeTheDawn'', while Joham was invited to attend the current vampire conference due to his unique knowledge of hybrids, it is made increasingly clear that nobody likes him, ranging from the other vampires treating him with contempt for [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil raping his 'test subjects']] to one vampire 'compelling' birds to leave their droppings all over his tent.

* In ''Fanfic/BoysUndSenshado'', Heishi is this among Shark Team, which is entirely composed of male [[OriginalCharacter OCs]]. The team isn't especially close (in contrast to most [[Anime/GirlsUndPanzer Oarai]] crews, which are composed of clubs or close friends) -- only Akio and Masaru are friends with each other, as are the other two boys -- but none of the two pairs of close friends especially like Heishi, thinking of him as an annoyance. He's a Necessity example, though, since they need him to load their tank.

* ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} in the sequel and spin-offs to ''Fanfic/TheManyDatesOfDannyFenton''. Owing to his insanity, career, or his overly friendly attitude, he's not well liked by most people who associate with him. This includes Danny's dates and girlfriends in other timelines, including ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}, WesternAnimation/KimPossible and even [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheGhoulSchool Phantasma]]. WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom, on the other hand, whether it be cluelessness on what Deadpool does or just because he's nice to him, [[OddFriendship considers him a friend]].
* ''Fanfic/TheMountainAndTheWolf'': The Wolf almost instantly becomes this to Daenerys' closest allies due to his overbearing manner, cheerfully-assumed violent nature, and his ''constant'' [[InnocentlyInsensitive way of indirectly insulting people on his own side without seeming to intend to]] (and because he's even bigger and scarier than Gregor Clegane, no one can do much about it). His genuine talent for warfare gives another reason to keep him around, but once King's Landing is taken he becomes entirely insufferable. Oddly enough, he's genuinely friendly with Tyrion of all people, something Tyrion is not exactly happy about.
