Exploitation Hate Sinks are the Hate Sinks of the controversial Exploitation genre that are works that were intentionally made to be disturbing due to having taboo themes like cannibalism, pedophilia, rape, incest or simply extreme violence. Due to the very nature of exploitation works, it is not uncommon for characters from them to become hate sinks. Good examples of Exploitation Hate Sinks are:

• Alan Yates from the Cannibal Holocaust.
• Patrick Bateman from American Psycho.
• Shio and Asashi's father from Happy Sugar Life.
• Kromer from Limbus Company.
• Donovan and Wyald from Berserk
• Tom Rogan from IT
• Makoto Itou from School Days
• Rinny from Pretty Blood
• Stella from Helluva Boss
• Syura from Akame ga Kill!
• Henry Evans from The Good Son
• Director Kakuzawa from Elfen Lied

One point: Exploitation Hate Sinks can only be Pure Evil, Near Pure Evil, Inconsistently Heinous, or Villainous Benchmarks if the story has a message or a moral, not pure Shock Value.
