Tropes and AudienceReactions about characters or other parts of a work that the audience ''absolutely hates.''

The audience does't LoveToHate them, they ''Hate'' to Hate them. Unlike {{Hate Sink}}s, Scrappies aren't hated for heinous deeds they perform, but because they make the work worse whenever they appear. The hatred is so baked into the definition of these tropes, it's impossible for a single viewer to both like a character and believe it's a Scrappy of any kind.
