The Scrappy

Some popular characters have fandoms. But sometimes, there will be a character who has a hatedom. This character is called "The Scrappy".

Some of the most hated "Scrappies" are those who are considered as flat, bland and pointless, or are seen as arrogant, annoying, abrasive and douchy. Flanderized characters will often fall under this trope, as will TV show characters or web show characters that receive too much screen time. A "Scrappy" who replaced a likable member on the team is called a "Replacement Scrappy". "Scrappies" don't have to be doomed to their status. The writers may change the character to ensure that they are no longer hated if they notice how unlikable the character is. Some alternatives are simply getting rid of the character, giving them a tragic death scene, sending them to a far-away area in the story or turning them into the villain to have the popular characters beat them up. In some very rare cases, "The Scrappy" may be replaced with a "Replacement Scrappy" that is so unlikable that fans will ultimately beg for the old "Scrappy" back.
