The description of Straw Feminist say that the trope is when the character's "feminism" is drawn only for the purposes of either proving them wrong or providing comedy.

And when is unintentional? For example, a character is so feminist that is totally unlikeable to reader, but in the story is not happened nothing of negative to her? There is a trope or simply goes under Scrappy, Designated Hero and similar?

Likeability isn't relevant to the trope. Them actually having reasonable arguments is.

If you have an example you think could be The Scrappy, we have a thread for those examples.

Designated Hero could maybe fit, but it would need to be judged with proper context first.
