It does not matter how low they rank in popularity, if a character is intentionally written to be disliked (\"worst character in Homestuck by a nautical mile\" isn\'t exactly the author realizing that he\'s hated and making an apology for it, it was just about the intent all along) then they\'re a Hate Sink and not a Scrappy.

It doesn't help that despite being a WrenchWench and (presumably) a practicing car racer, she's yet to take an active participation in the story besides her [[StalkerWithACrush obsessiveness over Ash]], not to mention having NoSenseOfPersonalSpace where Ash is concerned and even refusing to accept that Ash has broken up with her. Granted, she's also something of a Woobie, a Chinese-American girl who's adopted yet her parents always pay more attention to her older step-brother, leaving her with attention-seeking issues. Recent [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Crowning Moments]] have gone some way to [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap rescue her though]], as well as amp up the Woobie factor. For the most part, author Chris Hazelton has made her more likeable as a result, though her continuing [[JerkAss jerkassery]] towards Emily--which, BTW, she almost ''never'' gets called out on--is still quite grating.
** Sheldon, in contrast, was probably a deliberate attempt at making a totally unlikeable character - an [[SmugSnake overly smug]] JerkAss driver who manipulated his old friends (whom he derided as 'just muscle'), attempted to gain exclusive rights to The Old Road and, when he lost to Ash [[spoiler: smashed up his car with a rock and tried to pin the blame on Ash]]. Fortunately Rumisiel - in his best [[CrowningMomentofAwesome Crowning Moment]] to date, had an EngineeredPublicConfession ready, leading to Sheldon's ''immensely satisfying'' HumiliationConga complete with [[spoiler: GroinAttack, courtesy of Missi, of all people]]. Though his arc looks to be advancing Ash's CharacterDevelopment if nothing else. Sheldon is the only racer - or even character - who has, to date, not shown even a smidgeon of sympathetic or likeable qualities. Even [[AlphaBitch Cassiel]] is more an IneffectualSympatheticVillain who has a few morals implied - Sheldon's just a [[SmallNameBigEgo power-mongering dick with an overly-large head]].
** A note on the Missi hatedom: Despite being a main character, she's [[IncrediblyLamePun incredibly]] [[ACupAngst flat]]. Her crowning moments are few and far between, she has barely any redeeming qualities and her big moment of possible character development, finding out her parents neglect her emotionally, was over pretty quickly and has been ignored since it was mentioned. If she could just get a little more screen time that's used to redeem her further, there wouldn't be a problem.
* ''KeychainOfCreation'' fans once did a survey as to which character they liked the least. [[http://www.patternspider.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=6575 Almost 50% of the votes went to...]] [[ScheduleSlip the placeholder]]. Some of the comments:
--> "At first, it was the Immaculate Mastah! Then I remembered how often I curse the name and descendants of Placeholder..."
--> "I almost voted the Lover Clad in Nothing of Consequence, not because I dislike the Lover, but rather because the name there is hilarious. But yeah, the place holder is one of the most damnable things to ever exist in this universe, whose evil outstrips that of the Yozis or the Neverborn. May it burn in the purging fire of the Unconquered Sun himself! (In other words, [[MemeticBadass Ten Winds]].)"
* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' has a couple splits in the fandom, mostly along what kind of groups of the GeodesicCast they like. For instance, the Exiles, a group of [[EnsembleDarkhorse fairly popular]] people among older fans, are disliked by the newer fans. The Trolls are the biggest example of this, as they were introduced around a third of the way through the story, but since their introduction the fandom has quadrupled. Another group that occasionally falls into this is The Felt and The Midnight Crew, as some people are annoyed that they are [[EnsembleDarkhorse Ensemble Darkhorses]], despite having pretty much no characterization.

* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' has Noah rapidly becoming either this or a CreatorsPet. More strips will be needed to know for sure.
** Grace has gained her share of haters ever since the birthday party, where her MarySue tendencies were kicked into high gear.
** Melissa used to be this as well, before character development and several points of likability came to get her RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap.
* ''{{Achewood}}'' fans have found their Scrappy in Showbiz, Roast Beef's scuzzy, trailer-trash twin brother. Before, he was simply a thickheaded, vulgar {{Jerkass}} in way too much debt, but he then degraded into a man who was not above plotting to force his brother into sex with a stripper, only to ''photograph the affair'' and then show the resulting photos to Molly ''at their wedding ceremony''. Thankfully, his plans were derailed when Beef lured him into a trap that would have him serve jail time for the duration of the wedding, and he hasn't been seen since.
* After the recent Bad Behavior story in SinFest, Seymore has started to develop a growing hatedom after he TookALevelInJerkAss.
* ''{{PVP}}'' has two available for your choosing, both of which having been noted by Scott Kurtz as having a strong hatedom: Scratch Fury, destroyer of worlds, and Shecky, Skull's annoying cousin. There are some who would argue that the comic's cast is made up entirely of Scrappies of different kinds forced to work in an office together.
* ''SomethingPositive'' parodies this character type with a bizarre blue creature named Fluffmodeus. It was first introduced in a set of self-contained strips centered around the author, his girlfriend, and "Rippy the Razor", where it annoyed Rippy to the point of running away in terror (and the author already considered Rippy the most annoying thing ever). The caption of the comic threatened to introduce the character into the strip "if demands are not met". It eventually did get introduced into the main comic, but as the manifestation of Kharisma's mental breakdown (maybe... [[ShrugOfGod even the author isn't sure]]) that was self-aware of how utterly obnoxious it was.
* Zillion from ''StarslipCrisis''. The main point of the character was to serve as a parody''/''TakeThat to ''{{Firefly}}'', in particular the show's use of FutureSlang, the strip's author's main peeve with the show. He accomplished this by having Zillion speak almost entirely in "Deep Slang", a dialect that, amongst other things, replaces words with bizarre synonyms and dropping the ending off sentences. Unfortunately, said slang became increasingly heavy, making Zillion borderline [[TheUnintelligible Unintelligible]]...''even to the other characters in the strip.'' The fact that he had virtually zero personality also contributed to people tiring of him very quickly. Eventually, he suffered an apparent [[DroppedABridgeOnHim Bridge Drop]] along with another minor character in [[http://www.starslip.com/archive/20070316.shtml this strip]] (in a storyline called "The Fate Of Zillion" no less) only to eventually return and suffer ''yet another'' [[http://www.starslip.com/2008/09/05/tcourse/ apparent (and hilarious) demise]], hinting at future plans of making him TheChewToy (though the strip's revamp seems to have shifted this role to Officer Quine).
* [[FishPeople Des]] from ''ScaryGoRound'' is apparently one of these, [[http://sgrblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/yore-questiens-answerd.html according to John Allison.]] Because of this, his backstory was never properly revealed, and it looks doubtful that it ever will be.
** John has now stated that [[http://sgrblog.blogspot.com/2010/07/state-of-onion-2010.html Des "is retired from webcomics."]] AndThereWasMuchRejoicing.
* [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling Yoshi]] of ''GeneralProtectionFault'', according to the author, annoyed quite a few readers in his inception. It also helps that his somewhat arrogant and obnoxious personality results in him not getting along with much of the rest of the cast.
* WordOfGod has it that [[Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick Miko Miyazaki]] was a deliberate attempt to create a LawfulGood character who could be seen as a villain. It was [[KnightTemplar undeniably successful]], but her HolierThanThou attitude was so irritating that a fair number of people complained about her even existing. On the plus side, she was most definitely not a CreatorsPet--even the other characters couldn't stand her.
** Lately, the Scrappy has been the LoveInterest Celia, apparently because a lot of people don't think an ActualPacifist LoveFreak should be in the same comic as a bunch of hardened warriors.
* [[TheKAMics S.M.O.G.]]
* There's no real Scrappy in ''AnsemRetort'' from the reader's viewpoint, but the ''in-universe'' example would be the replacement cast Ansem used when the main cast went missing. Only Red XIII got RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap, and that was because Darth Maul turned him to the Dark Side.
* In ''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 Main/{{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.]]
* {{Misfile}}: A good number of people hate Missi Fuller, both for being the RomanticFalseLead in the [[FanPreferredCouple Ash/Emily relationship]] and for being such an incredible JerkAss towards Emily (who is, on the other hand, more dismissive of her than outright abusive). It doesn't help that despite being a WrenchWench and (presumably) a practicing car racer, she's yet to take an active participation in the story besides her [[StalkerWithACrush obsessiveness over Ash]], not to mention having NoSenseOfPersonalSpace where Ash is concerned and even refusing to accept that Ash has broken up with her. Granted, she's also something of a Woobie, a Chinese-American girl who's adopted yet her parents always pay more attention to her older step-brother, leaving her with attention-seeking issues. Recent [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome Crowning Moments]] have gone some way to [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap rescue her though]], as well as amp up the Woobie factor. For the most part, author Chris Hazelton has made her more likeable as a result, though her continuing [[JerkAss jerkassery]] towards Emily - which, BTW, she almost ''never'' gets called out on - is still quite grating.
** Sheldon, in contrast, was probably a deliberate attempt at making a totally unlikeable character - an [[SmugSnake overly smug]] JerkAss driver who manipulated his old friends (whom he derided as 'just muscle'), attempted to gain exclusive rights to The Old Road and, when he lost to Ash [[spoiler: smashed up his car with a rock and tried to pin the blame on Ash]]. Fortunately Rumisiel - in his best [[CrowningMomentofAwesome Crowning Moment]] to date, had an EngineeredPublicConfession ready, leading to Sheldon's ''immensely satisfying'' HumiliationConga complete with [[spoiler: GroinAttack, courtesy of Missi, of all people]]. Though his arc looks to be advancing Ash's CharacterDevelopment if nothing else. Sheldon is the only racer - or even character - who has, to date, not shown even a smidgeon of sympathetic or likeable qualities. Even [[AlphaBitch Cassiel]] is more an IneffectualSympatheticVillain who has a few morals implied - Sheldon's just a [[SmallNameBigEgo power-mongering dick with an overly-large head]].
** A note on the Missi hatedom: Despite being a main character, she's incredibly flat. Her crowning moments are few and far between, she has barely any redeeming qualities and her big moment of possible character development, finding out her parents neglect her emotionally, was over pretty quickly and has been ignored since it was mentioned. If she could just get a little more screen time that's used to redeem her further, there wouldn't be a problem.
* ''KeychainOfCreation'' fans once did a survey as to which character they liked the least. [[http://www.patternspider.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=6575 Almost 50% of the votes went to...]] [[ScheduleSlip the placeholder]]. Some of the comments:
--> "At first, it was the Immaculate Mastah! Then I remembered how often I curse the name and descendants of Placeholder..."
--> "I almost voted the Lover Clad in Nothing of Consequence, not because I dislike the Lover, but rather because the name there is hilarious. But yeah, the place holder is one of the most damnable things to ever exist in this universe, whose evil outstrips that of the Yozis or the Neverborn. May it burn in the purging fire of the Unconquered Sun himself! (In other words, [[MemeticBadass Ten Winds]].)"
* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' has a couple splits in the fandom, mostly along what kind of groups of the GeodesicCast they like. For instance, the Exiles, a group of [[EnsembleDarkhorse fairly popular]] people among older fans, are disliked by the newer fans. The Trolls are the biggest example of this, as they were introduced over halfway through the story, but since their introduction the fandom has quadrupled. Another group that occasionally falls into this is The Felt and The Midnight Crew, as some people are annoyed that they are [[EnsembleDarkhorse Ensemble Darkhorses]], despite having pretty much no characterization. [[BrokenBase Pretty much every character has their detractors and their supporters, who are usually equally rabid.]]
** One forum member did a tally of the main cast based on popularity, and dead last was [[http://mspaforums.com/showthread.php?32794-Homestuck-Character-Popularity-Tier-List&p=4222867&viewfull=1#post4222867 Eridan]]. Not surprising since his most notable character traits are being TheQuisling and [[spoiler:murdering some of his friends.]] [[DracoInLeatherPants Although even he has a good number of fans.]]

* ''PennyArcade'''s Tycho Brahe is starting to become this, thanks to his role in ''PokerNightAtTheInventory''. However, he's pretty well-liked amongst the female readers.
