History HateSink / OtherMedia

* ''VisualNovel/UminekoNoNakuKoroNi'' has Erika Furudo. A self-proclaimed intellectual rapist who takes pleasure is completely destroying people's theories and lording her own intellect over everyone else. It helps that she's an in-universe MarySue, so she's irritatingly perfect. Over the course of the story, she completely defiles the gameboard along with her master [[BigBad Bernkastel]], creating a truth where Natsuhi is a sadistic murderer who would kill even her own husband and child and proclaiming her an adulteress to get in Kinzo's good graces and not even caring that she KNOWS it's not true, destroying the magic that the nine-year old Maria believed in wholeheartedly just because she could, taking absolutely sadistic pleasure in killing five members of the Ushiromiya family, including Maria, just to turn a prank into a real murder case, attempting to marry Battler so she could take over the gameboard to defile it even further (and [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything sounding like an ACTUAL rapist in the process]]), and then trying to destroy Rokkenjima. And to top it all off, she's a KarmaHoudini who gets off more or less scott-free for everything she does.
* The ''[[VisualNovel/ZeroEscape Zero Escape series]]'' usually has anyone who bears the name of Zero as the mastermind of the [[DeadlyGame Nonary Game]], but they usually have good intentions. You can however hate these characters:
** ''VisualNovel/NineHoursNinePersonsNineDoors'' has the seemingly friendly and altruistic [[spoiler:Ace, who is revealed to be Gentaro Hongou in the Safe Ending. His actions against Akane Kurashiki nine years prior are the reason she decided to start the second Nonary Game as Zero. Having kidnapped 18 children (including Akane herself) and forcing them to participate in the first Nonary Game with their lives on the line all for sake of curing his prosaponosia[[note]]Inability to distinguish between human faces[[/note]], he even traps the young Akane in an incenerator with the only way to escape being to solve the sudoku puzzle in the room, something she was too frightened to do. Once he's kidnapped and made a participant of the second Nonary Game, he secretly plots to kill the other participants so he can steal their bracelets and use them to escape, succeeding in the Submarine ending. Once he's exposed in the Safe Ending, he even gloats over how he murdered Clover to her brother Snake. This makes it all the more satisfying when he receives his comeuppance in the Safe[[note]]Burned alive in an incenerator similar to the one he trapped Akane[[/note]] or True[[note]]Incarcerated with his crimes now exposed[[/note]] endings.]]
** ''VisualNovel/VirtuesLastReward'' has Dio. He's the Player with the least amount of sympathetic moments, [[spoiler:making it all the more surprising when it turns out he is just as bad as he makes himself out to be]]. He will always pick 'Betray' when the opportunity presents itself, only picking 'Ally' if he has no other choice. [[spoiler:He's also willing to kill an elderly lady and blow up an entire facility in order accomplish his goals]].

* Pick ''any'' major villain from ''Literature/TheKindnessOfDevils'' who isn't Thomas Nero, Krampus, or Lucifer or his followers; they're gonna end up here. [[Literature/GirlsOnFilm Rich Jacobs]] runs a SnuffFilm organization [[spoiler:and later assists Nyarlathotep in attempting to slaughter the whole world]]; [[Literature/NightsInLonesomeArkham Nyarlathotep]] tortures and/or murders thousands and tries to eradicate the whole world; [[Literature/NoneTooHoly the Pijavica]] raped her son repeatedly and tried to massacre an orphanage; [[Literature/UnderTheColdMoon Siegfried Gunmarsohn and his daughter Sieglinde Nomura]] murdered hundreds of thousands over dozens of years, and the former [[spoiler:tried to freeze the whole world with Ithaqua's assistance]]; [[Literature/InTheCastleOfTheNight Count Nicolai Gabriel von Krolock]] committed dozens of atrocities around the world and had tourists lured to his castle so they could be murdered and turned into Pricolici wolves.

* Rast, Douglas, and Seamus from ''Literature/TailsOfFame'' were all clearly written to be loathsome characters. Seamus is a disgusting, racist, obnoxious PigMan who intentionally tries to annoy and gross out everyone around him. Douglas is a very smug, overconfident SharkMan who thinks he's better than everyone else and talks to everyone in a condescending tone. Rast is a BitchInSheepsClothing whose relationships with everyone is completely hollow, and he constantly keeps trying to justify his actions by saying that he just wants to be happy and wants to be famous. Various characters call these three villains out on their behavior ''several times''.
* ''Literature/TailsOfTheBountyHunter'' has [[TheEvilGenius Dr. Vogar Oblingor]] and [[TheBrute Gobor Grizzer]]. The former is a SmugSnake of a MadScientist who views everyone as nothing but simple-minded dilettantes or puppets, and he desires to turn anthros into mindless [[SuperSoldier Super Soldiers]] he can use to terrorize the public. The latter is a DirtyCop who uses his authority to rape innocent civilians and commit acts of terrorism. [[spoiler:Raping the main character after forcing him to devour ''his feces'', followed by setting off a chemical weapon at a basketball stadium]], pretty much cemented him as being one of the most deplorable characters in the story.

* The ''[[VisualNovel/ZeroEscape Zero Escape series]]'' usually has anyone who bears the Zero as the mastermind of the [[DeadlyGame Nonary Game]], but they usually have good intentions behind them. You can however hate these characters:

** ''VisualNovel/NineHoursNinePersonsNineDoors'' has the seemingly friendly and altruistic [[spoiler:Ace, who is revealed to be Gentaro Hongou in the Safe Ending.

** ''VisualNovel/VirtuesLastReward'' has Dio.

* ''Literature/BookOfEsther'': [[BigBad Haman the Agagite]], the Emperor’s [[EvilChancellor vizier]] is possibly the UrExample of a character who is designed to be loathed as much as possible, considering his [[ItsAllAboutMe narcissism]], [[AmbitionIsEvil ambition]], and [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain anti-semitism]]. Haman forces citizens to bow to him, and is suggested to have embroidered a graven image into his clothing, essentially forcing them to worship an Idol. When his fellow advisor, Mordecai the Judean, refuses to bow for this reason, Haman plots a genocide against the Jewish people, as well as personally building a gallows for Mordecai when the latter still refuses to bow. It is telling that a near universal custom when reading Megillat Ester (the hebrew name of the work) is to jeer at least when Haman’s name is first and last mentioned, making him an odd religiously significant version of this trope.

** Jacques Schnee, the head of the Schnee Dust Company and father of Weiss Schnee, is shown to be a very despicable character, especially when he first appears in Volume 4. He's a CorruptCorporateExecutive who only married into the Schnee family for the prestige of the name and the money, [[ItsAllAboutMe cares only for his own glory]], and [[AbusiveParent has no problems abusing his own children to follow his expectations]].

** Adam Taurus is introduced in the original pre-show advertising trailers as someone who doesn't care if innocent humans die when he raids a train carrying SDC cargo, leading to his partner-in-crime, Blake, abandoning him to start the show as one of the main protagonists. When he appears in the show, he doesn't even care about Faunus lives being lost in pursuit of his grand cause. His confrontation with Blake reveals that he's obsessed with possessing her, infuriated that she abandoned him; [[BastardBoyfriend determined]] to destroy everything she cares about, he blames her for [[DomesticAbuse forcing him to hurt her]]. He wants to [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist paint the world red]] with the blood of humans and enslave them; he'll even kill Faunus that get in his way. His scenes are never entertaining, being [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk designed]] to be brutal, twisted and violent; he possesses great charisma, but he uses it only to achieve his violent goals and recruit cannon fodder for his causes. Creator/RoosterTeeth has said that he's so awful, that even his actor Garrett Hunter gets creeped out by his lines. [[spoiler:During his final battle with Yang and Blake, he reveals the face he's been hiding behind a mask, a brand that has been burned over his left eye with the SDC logo, as if he was an animal. The creators stated that they wanted the audience to feel sympathy for a character that should never normally receive it, and Adam's final moments make it clear that Jacques Schnee's corrupt business practices are somehow responsible for helping turn Adam into the monster he became.]]

He's a CorruptCorporateExecutive who only married into the Schnee family for the prestige of the name and the money, [[ItsAllAboutMe cares only for his own glory]], and [[AbusiveParent frequently abuses his children]].

** [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Jacques Schnee]] is implied to be an abusive father when Weiss briefly mentions in Volume 1 that her upbringing was very difficult. She later admits to Yang that on her tenth birthday, her father informed her mother that he only married her to take her father's company and the prestige of her name, and therefore has no interest in being either a husband or a father. His wife was so devastated she became an alcoholic, leaving his three children to be raised by him solely to provide whatever uses for his company that he can think of. Weiss has a scar over her left eye which is from the prequel White Trailer, where she fought a giant knight to the death. Creator interviews and spin-off manga material reveal that this was a deliberate test set up by a controlling father to try and prevent her from going to Beacon Academy. He has issues with General Ironwood because his oldest daughter went to Atlas Academy and is one of the general's top military operatives -- but it means she has escaped his control; he has disinherited her and blames Ironwood. After the Battle of Beacon, he escorts Weiss back home to Atlas personally and manipulates her into singing at a charity benefit for Vale that is solely designed to improve his Dust company's PR in light of General Ironwood placing a global embargo on Dust trade; his plan is to use the fact his daughter fought on the front lines to improve that PR. When Weiss fights back against his controlling influence, he slaps her across the face and imprisons her indefinitely in the house, stripping her of her inheritance and giving it to his youngest child, Whitley. Although the Schnee Dust Company (SDC) was originally a globally respected brand for its quality and honour, Jacques' corrupt business practices have destroyed competition, suppressed worker wages and caused great hardship for the Faunus.

* Windsor, the StarterVillain of ''Literature/{{Kaduav}}, is a sadistic and cruel member of the Gilded Cross, a Yeshu (Human) supremacy movement. While the other members of the Gilded Cross are undeniably evil, some, like their leaders, have loved ones or are [[EvilIsCool pretty cool]]. Windsor is nothing more then a cowardly racist, who brutally murders innocent men, women, and children to fuel his racist beliefs.

* Pick ''any'' major villain from ''Literature/TheKindnessOfDevils'' who isn't Thomas Nero, Krampus, or Lucifer or his followers; they're gonna end up here. [[Literature/GirlsOnFilm Rich Jacobs]] runs a SnuffFilm organization [[spoiler:and later assists Nyarlathotep in attempting to slaughter the whole world]]; [[Literature/NightsInLonesomeArkham Nyarlathotep]] tortures and/or murders thousands and tries to eradicate the whole world; [[Literature/NoneTooHoly the Pijavica]] raped her son repeatedly and tried to massacre an orphanage; [[Literature/UnderTheColdMoon Siegfried Gunmarsohn and his daughter Sieglinde Nomura]] murdered hundreds of thousands over dozens of years, and the former [[spoiler:tried to freeze the whole world with Ithaqua's assistance]]; [[Literature/InTheCastleOfTheNight Count Nicolai Gabriel von Krolock]] committed dozens of atrocities around the world and had tourists lured to his castle so they could be murdered and turned into Pricolici wolves.

* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' has several antagonistic characters and groups (Grimm, White Fang, Roman Torchwick, Cinder Fall, etc.). However, for one reason or another, most of them are difficult to be a target of audience hatred. That role is filled by Team CRDL, a group of despicable delinquents who antagonize many of the show's biggest [[TheWoobie Woobies]]. It's no coincidence that their leader, Cardin Winchester, is named after the Cardinal of Winchester, the man who oversaw the trial and execution of Joan of Arc (the name basis for [[ButtMonkey Jaune Arc]]).
** After Volume 3, the hate has been redirected to Jacques Schnee, Weiss' father. A controlling, greedy and abrasive old man, everything he does from [[CorruptCorporateExecutive how he runs SDC]] to [[AbusiveParents how he treats poor Weiss]] signals a figure who goes out of his way to be as despicable as possible.

* ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' features people using [[PoweredByAForsakenChild orphans as soul batteries]], people wanting to wipe the earth clean of all but the strongest of humanity using a wave of curses generated by the personification of all the worlds evils, and people emotionally and physically abusing their adoptive grandchildren for over a decade all to turn them into a weapon. Standing head and shoulders above them as a hate sink is Shinji Matou, who is simply so unpleasant on a personal level: A braggart, a smug figure, a BigBrotherBully and a lot more. You can't help but hate him. And that's before you learn in ''Heaven's Feel'' that [[spoiler:he's also a rapist whose primary victim is his sister Sakura]]. Hence, every time there's a spin-off featuring Shinji, they would make him despicable in any form.

** Shinji's actions could be traced from his grandfather Zouken who only rears his head in the very last route. He's basically an abusive grandfather who not only approved [[spoiler:Shinji being a rapist]] for his own purposes but continually mentioned how much he sucked while committing all kinds of atrocities for the sake of his own needs of keeping his immortality. [[spoiler:Including inflicting the one Shinji bullied, Sakura, with sexual violations via his own magic worms a lot of times, making her a broken shell of a girl.]] While Shinji being continually told that he sucked could be an excuse for his actions, and Zouken does have his own purpose in keeping his immortality, these excuses weren't enough to cleanse that you're supposed to hate them.
** In the spin-off series ''LightNovel/FateApocrypha'', Celenike Icecolle Yggdmillenia is that one character designed to be hated by a lot and it actually shows: She's pretty much a token {{Sadist}} Master who delights in torturing whoever she comes across and loves taking the noble qualities of a Servant and then violating said nobleness; and in comparison of her other Yggdmillenia clan members, she's the only one who really doesn't have redeeming qualities. And unlike the aforementioned Matou family members, [[FlatCharacter Celenike has no other traits or even reasons on why she does things.]] She also likes to make ''really'' unpleasant faces when she's angry if things don't go her way, just to hammer down that you really want her off the screen whenever she makes an appearance...

* ''Webcomic/SurvivorFanCharacters'': The creator explained in his notes for Season 9 that he wrote the season's main villain to be this; he wanted her to be so reprehensible with zero redeeming qualities that readers, instead of finding her [[EvilIsCool cool]] or [[LoveToHate entertaining to hate]] like they did with many of the series' previous villains, would just plain '''hate''' her and find her eventual epic downfall to be all the more cathartic.

* Ricky Collins in ''WebVideo/TheLizzieBennetDiaries'' frequently compliments Lizzie and Charlotte but does so in an arrogant and obnoxious way. He tries to give advice but underestimates their accomplishments and knowledge, bashes Lizzie's blog, boasts of himself, tries to make himself look important and only speaks/cares about business.

* The TerribleTrio of the [[TeensAreMonsters teenage girls]] Sophia, Emma, and Madison serve as this in the web serial ''{{Literature/Worm}}''. They cause protagonist Taylor Hebert's [[StartOfDarkness trigger event]] when they locked her in a locker filled with [[{{Squick}} weeks-old used tampons, bugs, and her own vomit]] as part of their ongoing bullying campaign against her. The three [[KarmaHoudini avoid retaliation]] due to an inept school system, [[spoiler:the fact that Sophia was protected by her status as a Ward]], and Taylor's [[WellThisIsNotThatTrope refusal]] to go on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge with her new powers. While they are definitely not as atrocious as some of the [[CardCarryingVillain actual villains]] and [[EldritchAbomination inhuman monsters]] in the story, the hatred from fans comes from the [[EvilIsPetty nature of their antagonism]] and Tattletale's later reveal that she [[spoiler:recruited Taylor in large part because her powers told her that Taylor was on the verge of suicide]].
** Emma Barnes was once Taylor's [[EvilFormerFriend best friend]]. She uses the FreudianExcuse of trying to make Taylor "strong", and suffers [[VillainousBreakdown an emotional breakdown]] after Taylor's identity as the villainous Skitter is revealed. She eventually [[spoiler:becomes [[DroppedABridgeOnHim just another civilian casualty of Gold Morning]]]].
** Sophia Hess [[spoiler:aka: the probational Hero "Shadow Stalker]] is a SocialDarwinist in order to justify [[spoiler:her father's senseless death, her subsequent trigger event, and her sadistic approach to "heroism"]]. She loses the protection of [[spoiler:the PRT after Regent takes revenge on an (unaware) Taylor's behalf by [[PeoplePuppets taking control of Sophia's body]] and forcing her to fight her allies, ruin her own reputation, and almost commit suicide, [[ForcedToWatch all while she watches helplessly from inside her own head]]. She is eventually sent off with a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech from Imp towards the end of the series]].
** Madison is given no backstory for why she participated in the trio's actions, and eventually [[spoiler:[[SubertedTrope subverts this trope]] in the sequel series ''Literature/{{Ward}}'' by showing horror at what she did and becoming TheAtoner for the part she played in creating [[TheDreaded Khepri]]]].
* Rast, Douglas, and Seamus from ''Literature/TailsOfFame'' were all clearly written to be loathsome characters. Seamus is a disgusting, racist, obnoxious PigMan who intentionally tries to annoy and gross out everyone around him. Douglas is a very smug, overconfident SharkMan who thinks he's better than everyone else and talks to everyone in a condescending tone. Rast is a BitchInSheepsClothing whose relationships with everyone is completely hollow, and he constantly keeps trying to justify his actions by saying that he just wants to be happy and wants to be famous. Various characters call these three villains out on their behavior ''several times''.
