* ''VideoGame/Persona5'': While more of a BaseBreakingCharacter than a full-on scrappy, Mishima gets a lot of these moments. With the exceptions of Kasumi and Akechi (who both never get any significant interaction with him), the Phantom Thieves treat Mishima as TheFriendNobodyLikes, and his Confidant is one of the few that will always rank up regardless of how you treat him, and the game gives you several dialogue choices to express irritation towards him. Mishima even gets brought in during Rank 5 of Futaba's Confidant, and she mocks him via AccidentalMisnaming and BrutalHonesty.

* ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'': Dori is an extremely contentious character who despite being the wealthiest woman in all of Sumeru frequently scams and money grubs to the detriment of others, usually receiving the KarmaHoudini treatment while others pay the price. Not only is she [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty arrested]] in Cyno's character quest after trying to scam the Matra out of money, but in the "Receiver of Friends From Afar" event, the Traveler shames her for trying to get away with underpaying Faruzan and Layla and tricks her into spending far more Mora than she intended to on their meal, effectively giving her a dose of her own medicine.

* The entire character of Ivan Raidenovitch Raikov in ''VideoGame/{{Metal Gear Solid 3|SnakeEater}}'' is this: He looks exactly like Raiden, the last game's widely-hated protagonist, and appears in the game as the sadomasochistic colonel Volgin's homosexual love interest (even his name is a [[BilingualBonus Japanese double entendre]]: 'Raidenovitch' can be read in Japanese as 'Raiden no bitch', which itself translates to 'Thunderbolt's bitch', hinting at his and Volgin's relationship).
** Technically, Raiden was only hated by American fans. In Japan, Raiden's fanbase potentially rivals that of even Solid Snake. Also, the player is given the option to either kill or knock out Raikov, depending on what the player feels like, and the player doesn't even get a TimeParadox if he does the former.

** On the subject of ''Vs. Duck Hunt'', there were bonus rounds where players could shoot the dog. Sure, doing so ended the round, but many players expressed that they felt it was worth it.

* ''VideoGame/Warhammer40000SpaceMarine'' has Leandros. A new brother initiated into the Ultramarines, he quickly shows the type of person he is when he's busy butchering a helpless greenskin while the others are in a hurry to rescue people. Something Leandros is rather half-hearted about as he feels the mundane humans aren't worth the effort. But where fandom really came to hate him, is that he called the Inquisition down to arrest and hopefully execute Captain Titus despite Titus never being anything less than noble.

* In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilREVisited'' (a ResidentEvil FanGame), the first zombie you encounter is a towel-clad version of [[Film/ResidentEvil Alice]], a notorious BlackHoleSue, whom you can kill at your discretion.

** ''[[VideoGame/SonicRushSeries Sonic Rush Adventure]]'' introduced Marine the Raccoon, whose MotorMouth RecklessSidekick tendencies and delusion that she is the real hero brushed a number of fans the wrong way... and her fellow protagonists have similar reactions to her behavior. Sonic, Tails, and Blaze {{lampshade|Hanging}} how annoying she can be, ultimately leading up to a scene before the final level where Blaze finally blows up and yells at her: "You're a nuisance!"

* ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia2'' has a late-game scene of Alternate Milla, once again, talking about how Ludger is destroying worlds by doing his job and mentioning in an off-handishly, snippish way how she's 'not the real Milla, anyway'. Gaius immediately calls her out on this and tells her that she clearly is ''nothing'' like the real Milla, who was ready to sacrifice her life for other people. It is reminiscent of the [[CharacterShilling shilling]] Milla tended to get in the previous game, but also finally a character telling Alternate Milla to shut up about her whine-fest of wallowing in her misery. [[spoiler: The fact that Alternate Milla became more [[CloningBlues annoying]] shortly after and then died, to bring the real Milla back, was just icing on top of the cake.]]
