I mean, yeah, if the character is a Hate Sink, it'd be Hate Sink and No Celebrities Were Harmed.

And Take That!, especially if the creator's dislike is confirmed/well-known.
Is there a trope other than Take That! for this sort of situation:
Zendaya is in the news out-of-universe, and a Police Procedural drama decides to take a mean-spirited jab at her simply because the creator doesn't like her, and In-Universe they have a No Celebrities Were Harmed version who exists simply as a Hate Sink for the episode.
Would it be Hate Sink or another trope?
