List of Disallowed Pages

Acnologia: No longer considered a hate sink because he has way too many Evil is Cool moments.
Admiral Kendal Ozzel: A canon novel reveals that he died regretting giving up everything for the empire and wishing he could live a peaceful life with his family.
Ahmanet: Despite having a Freudian excuse so petty that her crimes are no longer justified, the filmmakers of The Mummy (2017) still attempted to portray Ahmanet in a sympathetic light.
Alex DeLarge: The whole theme of the story prevents him from standing out, and he was intended to be seen as a tragic and three-dimensional villain.
All For One: Even with the depths of his evil and the reveal on the Final War arc that for all his glamour and cool exterior he is a psychopathic manchild, there are still massive shades of Evil is Cool still inked to his presence, from being able to decimate his way through scores of heroes and actually managing to outsmart them at times, to the reveal of his backstory of building up his status as Japan's shadow ruler from the ground up as a mere orphan on the streets with just his kill and charisma, to his final battle having him go down activating all of his powers for one ultimate move with a clear intention to fight till the bitter end.
Amy Elliott-Dunne: Despite being the textbook example of a sociopath, Amy's backstory, being born after a series of stillbirths and miscarriages combined with her insecurities after being forced to live in the shadow of the Amazing Amy (the idealized version of Amy from her parent's children book series), is way too tragic and sympathetic for her to qualify as a hate sink.
Amy Hughes: Way too charismatic and, despite being pure evil, the flashbacks tried to paint her as sympathetic before revealing that she was the killer the entire time.
Art the Clown: Has an "evil is cool" vibe to him, which is why the filmmakers keep bringing him back. Even if you disagreed with him being too "cool", the fact the filmmakers keep bringing Art back in makes it doubtful he was made to be a hated character.
Big Jack Horner: How horrible a human being he is made to be a joke for the audience to endear to the character.
Biggie Bear: Though the commercials he originated from have a message regarding what children watch on television, with him acting as an anti-role model, the way that this message is portrayed is played for black comedy and/or discomfort from the audience, rather than outright hatred towards the character.
Black Doom: While his actions may be despicable he was created to be terrifying and scary but come across as generic and boring due to bad writing on him.
Bluey (Unicorn Wars): Though many of his actions throughout the movie were intended to be portrayed as utterly repugnant, the movie gives him too much depth, being given the fruedian excuse of trying to be the best to please his father, and out of spite for his mother cheating on him, and his downfall being caused by many exteral factors.
Bob Barnes: It's pretty clear that he was meant to be a tragic three-dimensional character, judging from his numerous battle scars and the implied care he had for his men. Dale Dye even states in the film's DVD commentary that war made him suicidal out of shame for his actions. Plus at least he's not a sadist like Bunny, or a dimwitted coward like Junior.
Bryce Walker (TV Series): One of the more controversial entries on this list, Bryce would've easily qualified if we were just basing his appearances on just seasons 1 and 2 alone. His hate sink status, however, gets deconstructed in season 3 where Bryce attempts to make amends for his crimes and has more humanizing moments with his mother and Ani.
Carnage: His comic version, his movie version and his tv version have too many Laughably Evil and Evil is Cool moments to qualify.
Charles Augustus Milverton (Moriarty the Patriot): Ultimately, while a vile smug snake, is still an incredible chessmaster who can pose as one of the biggest threats to the Lord of Crime to the point where it is specifically for this reason he had been used as a recurring villain across many arcs.
Chef Cochon: Too many laughably evil and evil is cool moments, was intended to be viewed as tragic.
Cheon Seojin: Although she is as vicious as Joo Dan Tae, she is still portrayed as sympathetic, most of the villains in Penthouse have redeeming qualities, and she, along with Joo Dan Tae, is one such example.
Chuck McGill: According to Vince Gilligan, he was meant to be seen as tragic.
Chris McLean: In spite of his psychopathy, Chris can never qualify as he has too many laughably evil moments. The Despair Island version of Chris, on the other hand...
Cinder Fall: The audience was meant to sympathize with her past at least to some extent.
Commander Rourke: His crimes were detestable but he was another villain who was written to be seen as a three-dimensional character and thus cannot qualify.
Commander Tartar: His crimes while dark and pretty heinous there's an interview saying how his thought process went in a strange direction due to being isolated for so long and it respected Agent 8 only to be disappointed when they didn't share it's views giving the impression of a "made to be tragic and three-dimensional" character.
Colonel Kubritz: While once a deplorable hypocrite that made her the 2nd most hated character in the Tales of Arcadia franchise, she ultimately redeems herself.
The Dark Lord (Animator Vs. Animation): He has way to many evil is cool moments.
David (The Last of Us): Word of God, in this case David's voice actor Nolan North, claimed that he didn't portray David to be hateable and stated, in an interview with IGN, that he thinks that David had some good in him.
Dimentio: Too many laughably evil and evil is cool moments to qualify and fans consider him to be one of the most well-written and well-made villains in the entire Mario series.
D'Ken (X-Men: The Animated Series): Despite lacking any evil is cool moments and not being that good of a villain, he doesn't qualify to be a hate sink due to barely having any traits other than "villain wants to rule the universe".
Donquixote Doflamingo: Despite being responsible for many atrocities and ruining many lives, Doflamingo has evil is cool moments along with characterization that does not make him a flat character that is intentionally made to be hated.
Doma: He has a lot of disgusting moments like Muzan Kibutsuji, lost all funny moments and can be disgusting enough because of his misogynistic behavior, but despite being the horrible sociopath, Koyoharu Gotouge (Word of God) written him to be seen as tragic and three-dimensional character.
Dr. Eggman (Archie Comics Pre-Genesis Wave): He has too many evil is cool and laughably evil moments to qualify.
Drago Bludvist: While a vile animal abuser that enslaves dragons, Drago ahs too much of an Evil is Cool presence as an ominous threat beyond what Berk has witnessed. He is introduced walking past fire basted right at him as if it was nothing, has the Alpha udner his command and so can control any dragon at will, and a full blown Hero Killer.
Ellen (The Witch's House): Despite being extremely vile, she is too tragic to be a Hate Sink.
Emperor Belos: While a vile bigot who goes down pathetically begging for mercy, is ultimately written to be as much of a three-dimensional villain wth a hgue Evil is Cool aesthetic and presence from his manipulative presence, to his various designs, to his various displays of power
Emperor Palpatine: While he is the most evil character in the Star Wars Canon, he has a lot of genuinely funny moments, such as calling Daultay Dofine a stunted slime, and a lot of Evil Is Cool moments.
Emperor Zomboss: His judgement is based on one's opinions.
Eobard Thawne (Arrowverse): Was described by the actor to be a humane and tragic villain.
Esther Coleman: Esther has too many evil is cool moments including being a skilled manipulator and extremely intelligent. Not to mention her killing John, while despicable in any other circumstance, had the audience cheering for Esther because of how much of a prick John was to his wife.
Femto: Another pure evil villain who was originally written to be tragic and three-dimensional.
Floch Forster: While a vile supremacist, his death scene seems view him as a more tragically misguided being.
Frank Underwood: Is written to be viewed as a complex, three-dimensional character with many evil is cool moments to his presence.
Freddy Krueger (Original): While he did originally start out as a hate sink, as time went on, his laughably evil moments overshadowed his reprehensible actions to the point where he can no longer qualify.
Frieza: Come Dragon Ball: Super and especially Dragon Ball Super: Broly, he became too complex and laughably evil to qualify.
Gaku Yashiro: While he's more terrifying than his brother, Gaku was written to be viewed as tragic and three-dimensional, meaning that he cannot qualify to be a hate sink.
George Harvey (novel): Too tragic and pitiful. Even Susie Salmon, the girl who he raped and murdered, couldn't help but feel bad for him when she learned what his childhood was like.
Geraldine Grundy: While this version of Miss Grundy comes close to counting as a hate sink due to her pedophilic relationship with Archie, tampers with a police investigation in order to keep her pedophilic relationship safe, and acting nothing like the elderly old woman in the comics that the fans know for her hotheadedness and sarcasm, she still doesn't qualify because Riverdale attempts to paint her as sympathetic due to her having to change her name to escape her abusive husband.
The Governor (The Walking Dead): Unlike his comic counterpart, he was explicitly meant to be tragic/complex in the TV show.
Grand High Witch (2020): Unlike the character from the 1990 movie, the remake version of the Grand High Witch is too well liked and has too many laughably evil moments to qualify.
Hopper: Primarily gives off an evil is cool presence than of a detestable one.
Invictus: While his show getting cancelled making him a karma Houdini did make a lot of fans hate him, technically speaking this wasn't intentional. With this in mind, he overall lacks the requirements of being a hate sink due to not being portrayed as such.
Infinite: Overall, the intentions of the creators are too dubious to draw a proper conclusion on if he was meant to be despised by the audience or not.
Isaac Ray Peram Westcott: Despite being a game changer, he has too many "evil is cool" and funny moments to qualify.
It (1990 miniseries): Despite being Pure Evil just like its other versions, the various comedic moments and Tim Curry's performance make it too likeable to be a Hate Sink.
Jack Merridew: While his crimes are deplorable, his insecurities being played for sympathy are shown too often for him to be a Hate Sink.
Jack Torrance (Stephen King's version only): While the Kubrick version from 1980 could easily qualify to be a hate sink because he's portrayed to be monster from the very start, the exact opposite is true for both the original 1977 novel and the 1997 mini-series where Jack was written to be viewed as tragic, three-dimensional villain who ends up redeeming himself at the very end.
Jason Carver: Confirmed by Caleb McLaughlin to be written as a sympathetic character.
Jindiao: A sadistic dog kicker, but has too much of an Evil is cool aesthetic as a powerful dragon hiding in the body of a manipulative, scheming vulture.
John Doe (Se7en): Although he's a sadistic serial killer and rapist, he still has too many "evil is cool" factors to count. His final gambit at the end of the movie was very clever, he honestly makes some good points on the world being filled with sin, and Kevin Spacey's performance is admittedly excellent. He's basically the 1990's answer to Heath Ledger's Joker.
John Kreese: Despite how awful his actions are, Kreese is one of the most beloved villains in the Karate Kid franchise due to his evil is cool moments. In addition, Season 3 of Cobra Kai tried to paint him as a tragic and three-dimensional villain by giving him a tragic backstory that introduced the character of Betsy, his former love interest who died in a car accident while he was fighting in Vietnam.
Joker (DC): While some mediums portray him as a Hate Sink, the original comic version is too laughably evil and is sometimes given humanizing qualities depending on the writer.
Joker (DC Animated Universe): While his appearance in The Return of the Joker has him clearly written to be at his most depraved yet, the Joker still retains his endearing, classic Laughably Evil traits.
Joo Dan Tae: Another near pure evil villain who can't qualify as he has too many genuinely funny moments, truly loved his mother and sister, and regretted killing his childhood friend Na Aye Go. Moreover, Kim Soon-ok written him to be seen as tragic and three-dimensional.
Judge Claude Frollo: While ultimately written to be as vile as possible, he is ultimately written to be a complex figure primarily with his villain song being used to deconstruct his psyche to show the depths of his character.
Judge Holden: While he has some deplorable crimes, he is too enigmatic and complex to be really that hateable to be here.
Junko Enoshima: Another pure evil villain who can't qualify because she isn't hated at all by the audience, is too charismatic, and has genuinely funny moments.
Joey Drew: Although he would have counted in the first game, he ends up redeeming himself and realizing the errors of his ways in Dark Revival.
Katejina Loos: Despite being one of the most hated characters in Gundam, the creator intended for her to be seen as sympathetic and she did felt remorse at the end (even if that was post amnesia).
Kilgrave: While he is a sociopathic serial rapist with multiple heinous brainwashings to his name, David Tennant has said that he was intended to be a tragic character different from most other comic book villains.
Kristoph Gavin: While Pure Evil due to ruining Phoenix Wright's career out of petty spite for seven years, trying to kill Vera Misham, and starting the dark age of the law, his cruelness and pettiness are not the storefront of his character but instead his faux affably evil charm and his intelligence.
Kyubey: While a deplorable predator that emotionally exploits vulnerable young girls, there is far too much depth towards Kyubey to make the audience understand him as an End Justifies Means Extremist who can't understand that the means he uses to ensure the universe doesn't destroy itself is evil by human standards. Even beyond that, his manipulative and pragmatic nature as well as the overall extent of his power gives him shades of Evil is Cool.
Lemons (Cars 2): Meant to give off an "evil is cool" vibe as an imposing organization, with their leader, Axelrod, not given enough screentime as a villain to establish a hateable presence..
Lena Luthor (Arrowverse): Not only was she written to be viewed as a tragic and three-dimensional character, but Lena eventually redeems herself by helping Supergirl defeating Lex and Leviathan.
Lieutenant Obsidian: Was intended to be viewed as a three dimensional character with a tragic backstory, despite of how reprehensibly heinous she is.
Lilly (The Walking Dead): Despite her depraved crimes and being a cowardly hypocritical ingrate especially in Season 4, Word of God has said that she has some standards against the Whisperers (hence why she kills James for being a former member of them), and otherwise the game makes it clear she was meant to be seen as a tragic complex character as even Clementine can choose to sympathize with her at some points.
Lord Commander: Overall far too much emphasis on Evil is Cool presence from the range of powers he has which heighten upon his return from the dead, to becoming a Titan that briefly performs an Eviler than Thou on Invictus, the series' Satanic Archtype, of all people.
Lord Cutler Beckett: While a smug snake, his manipulative and soft-spoken demeanor gives him too much of an Evil is Cool presence, and he goes down with a lot of pathos when he faces his own death
Lord Shen: Has many signs of "written to be three-dimensional" even taking his personal cruelty into account.
Lord Voldemort: J.K Rowling stated it's up to the fans to whether they hate Voldemort or not.
Louis Bloom: While a vile narcissist, Lou's overall scheming nature and soft-spoken demanor makes him too charming a protagonist to hate.
Lucas Baker: Although he is the most evil character in the Baker family, he has many funny moments.
Lucifer (Supernatural): Even though he's pure evil, Lucifer cannot qualify as he has too many laughably evil moments and, given how genuine his love of his brothers were in the first five seasons and being saddened when Gabriel died, it was implied that he was written to be viewed as tragic and three-dimensional.
Lucky Quinn: Despite being very heinous and ruthless, he still has way too many evil is cool moments to qualify as a Hate Sink.
M. Bison: While's one of the overarching antagonists of the Street Fighter franchise, Bison has too many evil is cool and laughably evil moments to qualify as a hate sink despite also being a tyrannical crime lord.
Makima: Frighteningly realistic abuser and on being a toxic partner with some deplorable actions, Makima was still also meant to be viewed in a very sympathetic light at the same time on being a product of a loveless environment wanting love deep down.
Madara Uchiha: He has a number of evil is cool moments along with a sympathetic passing that is meant for the audience to sympathize with him.
Manfred Von Karma: While very petty and arrogant, he has too much of a bombastic personality to be fully hatable and is given a lot of emphasis on what a manipulative schemer he is.
Masayuki Kaneki: Despite his past not justifying the crimes he committed and his actions throughout Voice are portrayed to be unsympathetic, Masayuki was still written to be viewed as a tragic, three-dimensional villain according to the creator.
Megatron X: Too much of an Evil is Cool presence as a more successful variant of Megatron.
Megatronus Prime/The Fallen: Any and all versions of the character will have too much of an intended Evil is Cool factor to count for being an ancient villain with his immense fair share of supernatural powers that make him an even greater threat than resident Big Bad, Megatron
Micheal Myers: Too enigmatic with numerous Evil is Cool moments.
Mika Aikawa: While she was definitely detestable enough in chapters 1 and 3, she became less hateable and more three dimensional when she was revealed as the main villain, and was written by the author to be a 3 dimensional villain, so she no longer qualifies.
Miss Gribben: According to Word of God, she wasn't originally written to be a hate sink despite how reprehensibly heinous her crimes are.
Momi: Her actions throughout Mokey's Show (especially in the Is not Christmas episode) are played purely for laughs and the one scene in the Halloween episode where she would be considered a Hate Sink as she smiles while seeing Mokey and his friends getting arrested with him calling her a b*tch is actually her being revealed to be the disguised Fruit Monster in that episode.
Montgomery de la Cruz: Another controversial and reprehensible villain from 13 Reasons Why, arguably even more so than Bryce, who is still pretty vile and despicable in season 3, never once feeling regret for his heinous crimes but was confirmed by Timothy Granaderos to be written to be viewed as tragic and three-dimensional.
Mysterio (MCU): For all his pettiness, Mysterio was far more intended to be an 'Evil is Cool' foe for Spider-Man to face.
Nick Goode While he's the wholly debased main antagonist of the Fear Street trilogy and he continues his family's deal with the devil, it's implied that he was written to be viewed as a tragic, three-dimensional villain given that his younger self was genuinely affable, had no resentment for Shadyside, genuinely loved Ziggy (before subverting it 16 years later), and initially only performed the ritual as an obligation to his family.
Nui Harime: While having some despicable actions, there is too much emphasis on a Creepy Awesome Laughably Evil presence with her Cute and Psycho Demeanor.
Ozai: While a reprehensible famillial abuser, is at the end a bombastic Evil Overlord with too much of an Evil is Cool presence being voiced by Mark Hamill and his overall displays of firebending as he goes down with an epic fight
Peter Pettigrew (Book): Unlike the movie version which doesn't give Peter any redeemable qualities to the point that he can easily qualify here, the books portray Peter as tragic and remorseful to the point where Voldemort murders him for his remorse.
Piella Bakewell: Another pure evil villain who can't qualify because, like Johan Liebert, whether or not she's a hate sink is up to the interpretations and opinions of the fans/audience rather than what the creators involved with Wallace & Gromit have explicitly stated.
President Koopa: Although this version of Bowser has few of the positive traits that the mainstream Bowser has, he has too much laughably evil moments to count.
President Stone: He was created to be a comedic character to be endeared by audiences.
Prince Hans: Despite his detestable betrayal and abuse of Anna and Elsa, he is written to be viewed as a tragic, three-dimensional villain thanks to him being portrayed sympathetically in the spinoff A Frozen Heart.
Princess Shroob: While sadistic and personally vile, she's too enigmatic and provides some charm along with it that it doesn't really seem she was meant to be hated.
The Radiance: The majority of the hate for her is from the unfairness of her boss battle. Also despite her status as Pure Evil a lot of fans sympathize with her and hate the Pale King more, who was the cause of her turn to villainy. Likewise, the Pale King also doesn't count either.
Ragyō Kiryūin: While having very disgusting crimes, Ragyō's presentation emphasizes more of a bombastic "Evil is Cool" presence with the visuals and the music surrounding it.

Ridley: While he is the main antagonist of the Metroid franchise and he's known for psychologically abusing Samus, his evil is cool moments outweigh how reprehensible his crimes are thus disqualify him from being a hate sink.
Satō's Aunt: Despite being disgusting and horrible enough to qualify, the people who made Happy Sugar Life said that she was meant to be viewed as tragic and three-dimensional. She genuinely loves her niece Satō and she is genuinely affable and friendly towards Shio Kobe.
SCP-106: Despite being one of the most evil characters in the SCP universe, he's also one of the more popular and beloved characters despite his lack of screen time.
Scar (Disney): Is written with multiple endearing quirks of cunning and dry humour and upon his return on The Lion Guard, retains an Evil is Cool presence to remain a genuinely imposing villain even when at a preschool show.
Seol Mo-ree (Creators intended him to be a victim of Korea's problem of coercive education)
Shang Tsung: While he is one of the most evil villains in the Mortal Kombat franchise, Shang Tsung doesn't qualify because he has way too many evil is cool and laughably evil moments.
Slender Man (Slender): Slender Man, despite being pure evil, is also surrounded in mystery. Given that we know nothing about Slender's motivations, he cannot qualify for this wiki.
Starscream (Cyberverse): While he is a spiteful egotist and coward with various deplorable crimes, a Q&A with Mae Catt confirms he wasn't meant to be hated but was written as a tragic abuse victim.
Stefano Valentini: In spite of his psychopathy and how horrific his crimes are, Stefano has way too many evil is cool moments to qualify.
Tarantulas: While a despicable traitor, there is a lot of emphasis on the ham and bombast to his presence as a guy who knows more about all sides of the conflict than everyone else while operating his own agenda, especially when taking into account that he is the series' stand in for Shockave, who is primarily characterized as a Magnificent Baddie.
Terrie/Sweet Ifrit/Saint Ifrit: While she subverts any redeemable quality she might've had, the writers of Miss Guillotine still intended for Terrie to be viewed as a tragic and three-dimensional character.
The Thinker (DCEU): Despite being a sadistic mass murderer and rapist, James Gunn has stated that he was inspired by escapist character Malcolm Tucker, which is why Peter Capaldi was casted.
Todd Alquist: Despite murdering Andrea, a child and his cleaning lady all in cold blood, Todd is still way too affable.
The Kraken: He wasn't made to be hated at all and has shown plenty of laughably evil and evil is cool elements, despite being a game changer.
Two (Stranger Things): His undeservingly brutal death at the hands of Vecna makes him a scapegoat.
Tywin Lannister: While responsible for many evil acts, he has a number of evil is cool moments and positive character traits.
Unalaq: While a self-righteous hypocrite with a hefty list of vile crimes to stroke his ego, Unalaq was intended to be an anti-villain with benevolent motives like every other Big Bad in the series.
Vecna: Jas too many "evil is cool" factors and serves as a send-up to other horror baddies like Freddy Krueger. Also a tie-in stage play, whose canonicity is confirmed, paints him in a much more sympathetic light as just a victim of the Mind Flayer's influence.
Walter Simmons: Despite how awful his actions are, it was believed that he was written to be a three-dimensional villain according to the producer of Godzilla vs. Kong.
Yasmine: While she starts off as a hate sink in the first season of Cobra Kai, when she returns in season 3, she goes through character development and starts showing sympathy towards Demetri, thus disqualifying her from being a hate sink.
Zoom (Arrowverse): While he is without doubt the most evil villain in the entire Arrowverse, Teddy Sears has said in interviews that he and the writers wanted Zoom to be more than just a mustache-twirling baddie, giving him what was supposed to be a genuine tragedy to make him a perfect foil to the Flash.

Disallowed Genres

Reality TV Game Shows: While the editors and producers of shows such as Hell’s Kitchen and Survivor try to highlight the horrible behaviors and personalities of many of the contestants, the fact remains that the contestants on these shows are still real people who exist in our reality and not fictional characters who were written to be hated. Furthermore, the awful personalities of many of the contestants featured is often nowhere near as bad is it outside these shows.
