ZPAR has been broadened to authority figures hated by their subjects/underlings/subordinates; characters disliked by everyone go under Hated By All. Misuse and examples with low/unclear context are being deleted. (Just alphabetizing.)
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Emperor Dark is very unpopular with his underlings, and most of Shadow Force’s generals are constantly scheming to overthrow him. Only General Torvek is shown to be loyal to Dark, and Torvek is a robot: his loyalty is literally programmed in.
