The Sherlock fandom doesn't hate Sherlock, but a whole lot of Greater Fandom does. (It's possibly deserved, though, and I say that as a fan.)

And, of course, Tony Stark. Is he disproportionately loved? Definitely. Is he also disproportionately hated? Absolutely. Will I concede that he is MORE disproportionately loved than hated? Yup. But all the same.

A lot of people love Harry Potter, but a lot of other people seem to think he's a boring-ass white boy who ought to take several seats and let "more interesting" characters lead.

Malcolm Reynolds.

And then there's pretty much every white, straight male lead from an '00s show - most of whom were pretty good characters in and of themselves, but who garner a lot of contempt because, "Oh god, not another one; what flavor of mavericky-genius-with-manpain will he be this time?"

The same can be said about Steve Rogers. And Loki (though he is a villain). They don't really count because they are also hugely loved.

Does Thor have hate? I don't think so....

I was never MCU related fandoms, but I definitely saw bashing posts about Thor on my dash from fandom friends. Usually by Loki fans though so I don't know how widespread it actually was?

oh thor absolutely gets hate, there are plenty of loki-fans who think that everything loki has done is the result of thor being a horrible, abusive brother who literally beat him for years!!

it's... something else tbh.

AYRT - Yeah, I didn't include Loki because he's a villain. Same reason I didn't include Kylo Ren. With villains it's pretty tough to distinguish between people hating a character the way canon encourages them to, and people hating a character for personal reasons.

I mean, Kylo gets a LOT of hate, but then he also deserves a lot of hate. I do think a lot of people hate Kylo with an extra level of intensity, because on a personal level they just can't stand him. But I don't think one can reasonably make the argument that Kylo deserves a neutral or positive reaction.

And the funny thing about Harry Potter is that as soon as they racebend him, he's suddenly the most amazing character even though nothing about his actual character has changed.
