* Creator/StanLee killed off Bucky Barnes in ''Comics/CaptainAmerica'' because he hates {{Kid Sidekick}}s.

* Wrestling/RicFlair was the target of Jim Herd when he was still in charge of Wrestling/{{WCW}}. Wrestling/DeanMalenko, Wrestling/ChrisBenoit, Wrestling/EddieGuerrero and Wrestling/ChrisJericho were such later, especially the first three when Wrestling/KevinNash was booker, infamously dubbing them "vanilla midgets", a term which honestly didn't even apply to Guerrero. Another booker, Wrestling/KevinSullivan, especially disliked Benoit but begrudgingly tried to get him over so he wouldn't leave the company, which Benoit ended up doing anyway, with Sullivan's wife, no less. Wrestling/EricBischoff was particularly dismissive of Jericho and also had it in for Ole Anderson but contrary to popular belief did see potential in [[Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin "Stunning" Steve Austin]], just not enough get over their difficulties in working together. Wrestling/VinceRusso wasn't particularly fond of women wrestlers(ex: Wrestling/{{Madusa}}, Wrestling/DaffneyUnger), Luchadors (ex: Wrestling/{{Psicosis}}, Wrestling/LaParka) or Japanese men (ex: Wrestling/TheGreatMuta, Wrestling/JushinThunderLiger). Mark Jindrak was this in WCW, Ohio Valley and about every other promotion he worked for until he went to Wrestling/{{CMLL}}. The man had [[UnskilledButStrong incredible athleticism but "two left feet"]], as Wrestling/JimCornette put it.

!!Examples

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' has Rachel Wilson, Tobias' sister. She had an important role in a grand total of one episode, and only had two cameo appearances after the first season. This is because Ben Bocquelet and other staff members disliked her character and design, to the point of teasing a TheBusCameBack moment in Season 5 only to pull a BaitAndSwitch:
-->'''Tobias:''' Let me ask my genius sister for help! Oh, ''Anais!''

* ''Series/NinjaTurtlesTheNextMutation'': Turtles co-creator Peter Laird hated Venus DiMilo, which is likely the reason she's never been seen since.

** In the classic ''Series/DoctorWho'' serial ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoS17E1DestinyOfTheDaleks Destiny of the Daleks]]'' [[RobotDog K-9]] comes down with "robo-laryngitis" and is sidelined from the plot. According to many sources the reason was Creator/TerryNation disliked the character and did not want his creation, The Daleks, sharing screen time with him. The K-9 prop is also pesky for crew members, as it has an infamous history of breaking down or ruining shots by veering too far left or right.
** Many books have been written about how the implosion of the series [[DorkAge during Season 23]] was caused in part by production infighting over the companion Mel, who became a locus for the internal rivalries between the script editor, producer and PromotedFanboy elements of the team. She is disliked in the fandom too, but much of this is because she was intentionally written as an insufferable DamselScrappy to sabotage the actress and producer. The team's 'continuity advisor' hated the character so much that he quit over her inclusion - most fans today regard this event as one of the reasons for the show becoming more creatively interesting for its last couple of seasons.
* On ''Series/{{House}}'', ExecutiveMeddling reared its head and Fox execs demanded the creators cast a "villain" to go up against House. The creators reluctantly created the character of Vogler, a hospital admin who wants to get rid of House and his team, but they were not happy with the character. Luckily for them, Fox began airing ''House'' after ''Series/AmericanIdol'' giving the show ratings clout and producer David Shore the ability to make creative changes...

* Several Warner Bros staff grew to hate WesternAnimation/PorkyPig, particularly director Creator/FrankTashlin, citing him to be "a terrible character" who was less charismatic and flexible to the franchise's trademark slapstick as later additions such as WesternAnimation/BugsBunny, and felt forced to make cartoons of him in starring roles due to his title billing.

* [[WordOfGod Matt Wagner]] has stated that he has come to hate Hunter Rose, the original ''ComicBook/{{Grendel}}'', viewing his original ByronicHero version of the character as driven by adolescent, unfocused "rebellion". While he has regularly returned to Hunter, every installment has made him more of an unambiguous and irredeemable villain.

* In the commentary track for the ''Anime/{{Patlabor}}: Early Days'' [=OVA=]s, director Creator/MamoruOshii spends most of the second episodes' track talking about his hatred of Kanuka Clancy's character, saying she added nothing to the narrative or Team [=SV2=]'s group dynamics. He even ends it with a statement to the effect "It pains me to even look at her". Despite, he still gave Kanuka major roles in some of the episodes he wrote for the TV series.

* Several Warner Bros staff grew to hate WesternAnimation/PorkyPig, particularly director Creator/FrankTashlin, citing him to be "a terrible character" who was less charismatic and flexible to the franchise's trademark slapstick as later additions such as WesternAnimation/BugsBunny, and feeling enforced to make endless cartoons of him in starring role due to his title billing.

[[TheScrappy There are characters that a majority of the fanbase dislike.]] But it's possible for a creator to hate the character. Maybe that character is born out/modified because of an ExecutiveMeddling, maybe he realized that he has wrote the character wrongly, maybe the creator is pressed because the character he intended to be unlikable ends up having a lot of fans.

Only put example when [[WordOfGod the creator admitted]] they dislike the character, no personal opinion.

* In ''Literature/Dragonlance'', Margaret Weis absolutely did not like Elistan and considered him a PuritySue that she would have rather been without in the story and repeatedly asked to kill off his character, but since he was at that point the only Cleric of Palladine on the planet he had to stay in. As a result, Elistan's involvement in ''Dragons of Winter Night'' is mostly limited to saying something once in a while to remind readers he's still there.

* [[WordOfGod Matt Wagner]] has stated that he actually hates Hunter Rose, the original ''ComicBook/{{Grendel}}''.

* WordOfGod has it that the reason the second season of ''SonicSatam'' had Rotor DemotedToExtra was due to creator and producer Len Janson's unexplained dislike of the character.
