* ''Webcomic/FiveNightsAtFreddysLostSouls'': Kelly. Readers weren't too sweet on her to begin with, as her first appearance had her acting bossy and rude toward Freddy, Bonnie, Foxy and Chica and forbidding Cody and Bridget from seeing them again. Then she ''really'' dropped the ball by continually invoking ItIsDehumanizing when talking about the Fazbears and then deliberately traumatizing Bridget, a small child, to ruin her friendships with the animatronics once and for all.

* ''Webcomic/{{Boyfriends}}'': Nerd BF's teacher drew an [[https://www.webtoons.com/en/slice-of-life/boyfriends/episode-35/viewer?title_no=2616&episode_no=35 enraged reaction from readers]] for being harsh towards him over his tardiness and falling behind on assignments going as far as to suggest he drop out. Even those [[JerkassHasAPoint who don't think he was wrong to reprimand him for such things]] don't appreciate the way he talked to him. While he clearly wasn't designed to be well-liked, the sheer vitriol was likely unintentional and him praising Nerd several chapters later did little to salvage him for most readers.

* ''Webcomic/LoreOlympus'': Hestia is hated by a fair number of people, thanks to how she engages in SlutShaming against Persephone and how [[SadlyMythcharacterized radically different]] this makes her from her kind, motherly mythological self.

Rachel is listed as a Base Breaking Character on her home page, meaning she can't be The Scrappy.


* [[spoiler: Rachel]] from ''WebComic/TowerOfGod'' after the ending of the first season. The commenters on LINE Webtoon never get tired of jokes consisting of saying she sucks or should die. She kind of agrees with them, admitting in-universe that she's miserable, weak, ugly and evil, and has sacrificed her soul to search her ultimate goal that she can only gain from getting power from others because she can't do anything much by herself and can't even make friends; that low self-esteem is rather how she was manipulated by others to become a villain in the first place. The anime giving her a big SympatheticPOV segment might be trying to make people notice what an interesting character that makes her instead of just hating her.

* ''Webcomic/VeganArtbook'': Sterk is the worst of all the main cast since he goes one step further and kills those who don't agree with him. It's rather telling who exactly the target audience is that they regard him as an EnsembleDarkhorse.
** Raziel is a very close second. She might actually be worse, while Sterk is supposed to be a psychopath who wants an excuse to murder, Raziel is an actual fundamentalist vegan and her attitude isn't handwaved, unlike Sterk's. At least she has a smaller body count.

From what's written here, it seems like he's hated for...being an antagonist to root against.


Roy's LoveInterest Celia was quite popular at first being a funny and competent lawyer in the setting and a pretty neat romantic foil to Roy. When she was made into a major character many soured on her because of her sudden reversal to StupidGood tendencies. WordOfGod was that he tried to pit Celia's Naive yet good nature against Haley and Belkar's more pragmatic and darker natures to try and show a contrast in ideals, something the comic has done many times before. Unfortunately nearly all of Celia's points just ended up failing and a number of fans who liked her smarter moments felt she fell hard into TooDumbToLive.

** Girard Draketooth. All the flashbacks and visions of him so far have shown him as acerbic and arrogant, and as his main contribution to the ongoing plot sabotages the heroes' attempt to save the world as part of a personal revenge scheme to get back at someone for something that never even ended up happening.

* ''Webcomic/LasLindas'':
** Mora herself is commonly despised due to a heaping dose of ProtagonistCenteredMorality, doing nasty things to others [[DesignatedHero but at the same time being made out a hero]], particularly in the early days of the comic. She does manage to improve herself somewhat with time, but is still a BaseBreakingCharacter ''at best''.
** Rachael receives a disproportionate amount of hatred on the forum. Amusingly, she's one of the more popular characters outside the forum, making her a sort of GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff in an internet context.
** Din and Jin for never getting [[KarmaHoudini any real commeupance]] and barely bringing anything interesting to the table in terms of character or conflict after their initial plan to kill Digit.

There's not much justifying why he's a Scrappy as opposed to a Hate Sink - I think he's hated for reasons Rich Burlew intended.


** Eugene Greenhilt. Passed down a Blood Oath to his son, Roy, forcing him to either kill an epic lich sorcerer or be BarredFromTheAfterlife when he dies -- and it was later confirmed he barely ''tried'' to fulfil it. On top of that, he pointlessly antagonizes Roy, who's actively working on fulfilling the oath, because he disapproves of his class selection -- and because he knows he can get away with it, since Roy will try and stop Xykon because it's the right thing to do. It's also offhandedly mentioned that he's responsible for Roy's little brother Eric's death, caused by one of his botched experiments. And unlike the actual villains, he's not powerful, a complex character, or entertaining -- he's just a bitter old prick.

* ''Webcomic/DragonBallMultiverse'': Son Bra from U16, an alternate reality where she is the daughter of Vegito as opposed to Vegeta like in canon. Initially, she started off as a BaseBreakingCharacter with fans either liking her for being a powerful female character in a franchise than had few such examples or disliking her because of her {{Jerkass}} personality. However, in later chapters, she starts [[SpotlightStealingSquad receiving more spotlight over other characters]], which marked the start where the vitriol for her grew exponentially. Readers even accused her of being either a Mary Sue or a CreatorsPet due to the focus and CharacterShilling that she tends to receive. Although she briefly became RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap when she [[spoiler:became a [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Majin]] where fans hope they could enjoy her in a LoveToHate way, she turned back into The Scrappy due to [[ArcFatigue her fight being dragged out]], her PlotArmor making her an InvincibleVillain where she actually beats the heroes -- ''the people we're supposed to root for'', and her [[AntiClimaxBoss anticlimactic defeat]] that many readers found absolutely unsatisfying, all followed by a hefty dose of EasilyForgiven.]]

* ''Webcomic/LeftoverSoup'': Lily has few fans, what with being a [[DoesNotLikeMen rabid man-hater]] who the audience is still expected to sympathise with. It doesn't help that her actual beliefs aren't entirely coherent, as she seems to despise Jamie for being a potential rapist ''and'' for not being man enough to be able to rape anyone. Oh, and despite sincerely wanting men to [[GenderCide go extinct]], she manages to be a HeteroNormativeCrusader who thinks lesbianism is a genetic illness to be eliminated (the solution is that everyone should [[{{Robosexual}} have sex with robots,]] apparently).
** Also, while she averts AuthorTract by being the 'loser' in arguments...she never really hits major character growth in 1000 strips...and her growth is shown in a MONTAGE.

* ''Webcomic/LeastICouldDo'': Rayne. That's right, ''the main character'' is the Scrappy.
** Mostly results from the inconsistent tone that often gives the viewer very few hints as to when the character is supposed to be comedic and when he's supposed to be taken seriously, with this taken up to eleven by Sohmer's tendency to [[AuthorOnBoard put political rants in his characters' mouths]] that are non-sequiturs in the context of the character's normal behavior even when they aren't a bit absurd or [[StrawmanPolitical intentionally offensive]] in themselves.
** Additionally, many of Rayne's redeeming qualities are never shown on-screen or even at all, leaving a character the narrative treats as a JerkWithAHeartOfGold BunnyEarsLawyer as more of a JerkWithAHeartOfJerk and GeneralFailure.

* In ''Webcomic/RedString,'' Kazuo rather quickly morphed into this when he broke up with Miharu rather than stand up for both her and himself - right after finally consummating their relationship and promising to never let her go. Then he blamed ''her'' for his problems literally the next day, breaking his red string in front of her . . . and did we mention she'd just bought him a present? His continued nasty behavior, then absolute rejection of her in favor his JerkAss father (leaving even ''Miharu'' calling him a wussy) hasn't redeemed him either. Since then, every story involving Kazuo has only reinforced his character as a spineless loser, to the point where other characters call him this to his face. A number of people are even raring to call it StrangledByTheRedString if he and Miharu were ever to get back together again. If this guy can ''ever'' be RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap, it would take an act of God. Though recent events may have transferred him over to {{Woobie}} status when it has be become apparent just how ''much'' of a [[AbusiveParents Jerk Ass Father]] he actually has. [[spoiler: Kazuo's recent suicide attempt has brought out a mixture of reactions in the fandom, though mostly concern and the hope that he will survive.]]
