- Meryl is somewhat hated due to being a rookie in Metal Gear Solid (and is considered "annoying" by some fans), and being a bitch in Metal Gear Solid 4. She is also hated by yaoi fangirls for getting in the way of the Snake/Otacon pairing during MGS1. Thankfully, the Meryl hate isn't anywhere near as immense as the next one.
- Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty: Raiden's girlfriend Rosemary, who's received hatred largely for her relationship drama with Raiden (some of which wasn't written well), as well as a mixture of Die for Our Ship and Annoying Video Game Helper feelings. Not to mention the fact that people rarely take kindly to anyone that actually waits until her lover is off at a safe distance - trying very hard not to get killed - before steam-barraging him via digital communication with everything that's bugging her about their relationship. Granted, such an idea could work out with ensuing hilarity. She was Rescued from the Scrappy Heap in 4 due to a more sympathetic characterization and calling her being nearly completely optional (the only required call with her is the one that introduces her, whereas in the second game she had to be called to save the game and would sometimes force you into a call for story purposes).
- Naomi is despised by many due to her Chronic Backstabbing Disorder, and for her relationship with Otacon in 4, which is widely considered to be the worst-written romantic relationship in the entire series, with a wildly inconsistent Emotional Torque and an unforgivable fridging scene. A common complaint is that Otacon/Naomi could have been a good ship if they hadn't gone literally twenty minutes from their first meeting to being in, apparently, undying love.
- Paz and Chico in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker get flack for annoying personalities and causing more problems for Snake; the former even moreso due to stealing ZEKE and turning out to be a traitor. And then they were hit with a massive case of Alas, Poor Scrappy in Ground Zeroes due to the torture that Skull Face puts them through, on top of Chico dying at the end of Ground Zeroes. Though, Paz manages to initially get hate in The Phantom Pain due to somehow surviving the explosion despite it originating from her own body - at least until it's revealed that Snake's simply hallucinating her.
